Just wondering what everyone has been experiencing as far as what people say about the bike in the streets?

I myself have been getting good compliments from people who actually ride bikes, saying how sweet it looks and how many cc's it has. But then people who don't ride backs always tell me " you don't think it'd too small for you? It looks like it's for kids"... ughh gets me frustrated. Yea I 6ft 223lbs but I ride comfortable... it's fun to ride, gas saver, and a whole lot better then riding a scooter....

Don't let the haters get you down because their life sucks and they are grouchy. If you love your grom that's all that matters.

I get lots of positive response from people. I even got a motorcycle 2-finger wave from someone riding in a car coming at me in the opposite direction yesterday. Grom is that awesome.

Guys at the construction site give me shit all the time "how fast you have to run to get that to start", "take 50 cents or just a quarter to start that thing", "you steal that from the circus clown?", "my son's little tyke's gets the same gas mileage" yada yada yada. Then I ride some wheelies and roll stoppies, tell them I go 60 mph everywhere, and get 120mpg and they get all quiet.

I love this thing and it does everything I got it for.

I'm 5'6 135lb rider, i usually cruise around with the girlfriend on the back 5'0 90lb. Haven't had any bad responses, usually get a wave or people asking how much did it run for.

Had a lot of great compliments from the local Hot Rod get together crowd (Donut Derelicts) and a bunch sat on it, even my old racing buds.
Honest, didn't have one bad coment. :redgrom:
