Contrary to Yammie I see a lot of positives: - It actually runs out of the box. - It almost tracks straight out of the box. - It doesn't lose parts while you're driving it. That's already a lot of positives for a Chinese bike. The sad thing is that with a little more effort this bike could have been so much better, as all the basics seem to be there.

@tjroelsma Год назад

@@toddwebb7521 Yes, but for some reason they chose to mount a single cylinder engine instead. It could well be that this is an engine they're already using in scooters or other bikes and they just decided to use it instead of developing a twin. That being said: with modern technology you can do much better with a small single cylinder engine than this bike does. This looks like the engine is either old tech or simply low tech that's been mounted in a bike that blings it up to make it look like a modern machine.

Except for the engine build quality. Granted its a honda clone, but the material and tolerances are often way off. You could try doing stuff to made it more powerful, but just see how long it will last until it blew. You'll find any Japanese bikes would be much enjoyable to ride, much more fixable, upgradeable and really worth it to do so.

I used it in Houston max summer heat and humidity and it was the best jacket Ive used for insane heat.

I changed the oil before I even started it, I really went over everything and I ended up with a pretty good bike (GPX FSE450R). I also am confident that people reflash these ECU's, I know I've done it on my GPX, the cables were like $20. I'd love to take this bike for a spin and see how it is. I'll agree, there's basically no reason to buy this when you can get a good SV650 for the same price or less.

The speedo thing is very common with Chinese bikes.

We use km/h here and the bikes are only marked in that, so it's not a conversion error or anything.

Also I had to change the weights on handles because on higher speeds I could move around wheel like I am going slow. And THAT was terrifying. But after that change it felt soooooo much better!

i’ve been down this road before, thinking i could get my first street legal bike for cheap. i bought a lifan 200cc bike off amazon. And similar experience felt unsafe. will say the motor atleast seemed like bike motor, And that thing got like 140mph to the gallon. It did push me to cough up the money to buy a real bike. Did you change the oil before riding? that might be part of your pore transmition feel. You have to change all fluids that come in bike before even riding. Change fluids, tires, and make sure everything torqued and adjusted correctly and at-least makes it rideable. But again i didn’t make it long, maybe a couple months and i went and bought ninja 650 new at 8.5% interest and went riding without feeling like i would vibrate apart!!

It seems like there is a lot of aggression toward the grom. At least the grom is honest. It doesn't call its self a supervisor.

@meizunote5113 Год назад

That's a silly motorcycle by your standard but may be a wow one for a lot of common people in some underdeveloped or developing countries, who knows!

@meathead365 Год назад

Yes, I think you are right

@alrecks619 Год назад

Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha probably already do the job for most of those countries, though.

Yeah sounds about right. I had a rip off of the Honda 250R. From new it needed a new chain, head stem bearing, tyres, clutch cable. Every bolt would vibrate loose. Run in was so important and needed maybe 5 200mi oil changes before it was ready.

Is he running the bike with the shipping oil? 😮

@mytmousemalibu Год назад

God, I hope so 😆

@rozzbourn3653 Год назад

i think so. no break in either.

@stanwbaker Год назад

He's running the bike with the break-in oil after several on-camera "Nah, I'm not doing that" moments during PDI. For some reason it's performing badly.

I think it actually revs close to what it shows. 5:30 the sound it made was ~190Hz and by putting that in calculator 190x60 it comes out as 11,400rpm. you can fool the gauge but you cant fool the actual sound an engine makes when it spins.

@demondeji2207 Год назад

I have it and it’s such a shit bike anyone looking to get one don’t get it. It shipped to my house with a fuel leak and the problems keep continuing don’t get this piece of dog shit 💀

@peterskeates509 Год назад

So refreshing to get an honest review.

@abbyjo75 Год назад

I'd never buy one. But if someone gave me one, it might be worth spending a little for some random parts bike, start bolting used parts onto this new chassis, and try to make something trackable out of it.

@Jonasegway Год назад

My opinion says once you get this bike dialed in, it's fun as hell to ride and would be perfect for someone like me who rides slow anyway but will still get good range.

@bagelbandit6076 Год назад

Ever watch a video and go “yup, those are Texas trees and neighborhoods” or is that just me? Definitely greener than where I was ha ha.

@bagelbandit6076 Год назад

Yup definitely has Austin vibes…which brings your sanity in question driving that on the highway ha ha

@DmenDuroRider Год назад

I love how you say you're not skilled enough. Instead of this bike can't wheelie. I have never rode a bike that I couldn't wheelie.

Moral of the story, don't give yammie any 'idea' 😂 Venom did this to its self.

@Joshtheweatherman 7 месяцев назад

You hit the nail on the head with everything you said here. Now MAYBE if the motorcycle was somewhere around $1,500-$2,000 shipped to the door and fully registered, than I might find it to be a more compelling deal instead of buying a new Grom. But at the end of the day, it's a Chinese bike. This model can be discontinued at any given second, and some of the parts might be next to impossible to find as it ages. Even a carbureted Honda Rebel 250 would be a better choice, because you have that extra cylinder for low-end torque, and parts are literally everywhere.

@timaurus Год назад

It's rare to find a terrible bike these days. Well done, thoroughly enjoyed the roast!

@sportytoes Год назад

I bought a 2 chinese trackbikes both crated. It took a year to sort them out. Neither bike, though the same model, worked the same. Crazy inconsistencies. One has an engine that is a jewel and the other has been modified in search of making it work as well as the stock one. They came with no setup instructions so it was a guessing game. Take away is that setup is important. Guessing at what the setup has to be, makes the sticker price of a grom a bargain. Beware the crated bike. (And this is nothing to do with the underlying quality of the product itself).

@culturedsquid8442 Год назад

The gixxer 250 was just as slow but at least it could go straight.

@hardscope7744 Год назад

@Dennis-vh8tz Год назад

Does it have a catalytic converter? A non-existent or non-functional cat often results in a funky smelling exhaust. I think you're wrong about the typo on the safety label - "downer" manual seems right.

@freemenofengland2880 Год назад

You definitely looked good on it though Yammy, with the matching leathers. 😂😂😂

@docdeens4030 Год назад

The best use for this thing would be getting footage of you launching it off a pier into the gulf.

Or returning it to walmart and leaving it by the bicycles.

@Etb323 Год назад

Could it be that the brake cable is too tight so it’s always breaking a little?

@gebo1808 Год назад

“Brake cable”? As in “no hydraulics”??

@Brokeman86 Год назад

Steering unstability is probably because of the short width of handlebar

@prk2a918 Год назад

I regret buying my used Boom Vader BD125 grom clone. But being a new rider though, I’ve learned a lot. Wish I would of spend my money on a ninja 300. Of course these Chinese clones don’t have any resell value.

@mtbgypsy2669 Год назад

I paid $3k for a 2003 buell xb9 lightning which has been a great bike even with higher mileage. The thing in this vid is like maybe a $1k bike at most brand new just like the rest of the China bikes.
