Boredom. The number one threat to any office environment. It can strike anywhere, and anytime. Thankfully, with a fleet of shiny new motorcycles in the garage, the cure is a twist of the throttle away for the On Two Wheels crew…or so they think.
--
What begins as an adrenaline-fueled plan to melt knee pucks on what Morgan Gales and Adam Waheed assume are liter-and-above-sized sportbikes morphs into a less palatable mission. Justin Dawes dupes them by lining up a trio of budget-friendly 125cc streetbikes from Honda and Kawasaki beside the tantalizing 180-some horsepower rockets.
True, these eighth-liter playbikes offer a mere sliver of the performance of the asphalt-hugging superbikes, the boys have to choose between these pint-sized sub-$4,200 machines or certain boredom. It’s an easy decision…
Gales and Dawes saddle up on the Hondas, with Morgan riding the more sporty Cherry Red Grom and Justin on the throwback, yet still very bespoke, Monkey in Pearl Nebular Red. Because nothing says “look at me” like a Lamborghini orange-painted motorcycle, Waheed naturally gravitates toward Kawasaki’s Candy Steel Furnace Orange Z125 Pro.
The plan is simple, or so they think: Ride to a racetrack somewhere in Southern California. Could it be Willow Springs International Raceway? Buttonwillow, or Chuckwalla Valley Raceway? Either way the guys are going to have to traverse hundreds of miles of gridlock SoCal traffic and desert to do it. Tune in and see what surprises lay ahead for the On Two Wheels crew.

It brings tons of smiles to my coworkers when i show up at the office and park it right in front of the entrance. Not only does it bring smiles to people it also has inspired some to want to start riding since its such an easy bike to ride.

There needs to be a comparison between the modern Grom class (actual Grom, Monkey, Gromasaki, etc) and some of the 1970s mini enduros that used to be everywhere, and can still be had for cheap. Frankly I think the old minis were better. They tended to have more power but with that fun 2-stroke delivery, they were even lighter, they had awesome style, they were ridiculously reliable and easy to work on, and on top of it all they had genuine off-road capabilities. I would love love LOVE to see a showdown between a 2020 Grom and a 1970 Kawasaki G4 100.

@peterholthoffman
@peterholthoffman 4 года назад
Definitely! The 1972 Kawasaki G5 100 had a rated top speed of 66 mph and the one we had would do considerably more than that. My SL-125 Honda was fine on the Interstate (of course, the national speed limit then was 55 mph). I have a feeling that changing the exhaust, tinkering with the airbox, and updating the carb would get a lot better performance from these bikes. The horsepower figures for them are more like for 90s than 125s.
@JETZcorp

@@peterholthoffman Oh you can easily double the power from them if you did some porting and put on a "good" expansion chamber. The stock configuration is extremely mild even by the standards of that time, let alone what you can do today.

That is certainly the kind of fun my buddy and I had when we were kids in the late 60s. His Suzuki 80 vs. my 1964 C-110 Honda 50. Something about riding a small bore bike feels just like you are a kid again. Even as adults we both kept the old bikes and rode them on occasion. Every little hill is again a challenge. Every take-off is a drag race and every ride was and still is just plain fun! I only wish we had helmet communication as we had to makeup sign language and ride close and holler at each other.

@@nonameyet2205 It looks like a Grom, but its 14 HP motor has my attention. A 6 speed transmission is nice as well. We only get shit bikes here in the US for 125's compared to the EU, due to the ability here to pass a written test and be legal to ride a Fireblade! A 125 here isn't seen as a "Real" motorcycle so there is little demand that the best tech and motors to go into them. The result? Bikes like the Grom, barely able to hold 100 KPH on flat ground, and a continuation of the myth that one needs 500cc or more as a starter bike.

I did a similar shoot out many years back at a fun little industrial lot that allowed a figure 8, thirty five secondish lap course. Riding a 7 hp Honda MB5 50cc 2 stroke I did battle with a Kawasaki GPz750 and a Honda Nighthawk 650. I beat the Nighthawk but lost out ever so slightly to the GPz. The Kawie rider almost lost the front end a couple of times as he said he no way was he gonna loose to a 50 cc " keychain ". Those were the days. The industrial lot no longer allows impromptu races but is still lots of fun having went on to become a cannabis production facility :)
