So if Honda came to you and asked you to design the 2015 grom and said the msrp was going up to $3999, what would you change?

The seat. HID like on their Acura cars. Then however big of a displacement bump I can get for $3,999, I will take. And the displacement bump is just to use up some of the cash. I would be happy with a nice HID setup and a decent seat.

Money could be invested in seat and suspension

Honestly I'd buy my next grom stripped down with nothing.
motor and frame. Dirt cheap.

Redesigned headlight. One that does not look like a 4 year old drew it.

Nothing...

Ok, maybe the seat, but it's not a big deal.

More power, better suspension, adjustable rearsets, gear indicator, cooler looking headlight.

200cc engine with EFI, 14" wheels with redesigned performance street tires, vastly upgraded suspension, longer frame, functional 5 speed transmission, cool rear fender, softer seat, more attractive looking frontend, more color options, better and adjustable rearsets, more OOTB options similar to GYTR, and I am just getting started here. Very interesting thread start, hicksy712. Thanks!

Seat, suspension and 150cc

Stiffer adjustable forks, 18HP from 160cc, smaller sleeker turn signals. Slightly wider mirrors so I can see past my shoulders. More comfortable seat.

 

[Sassy Chassis]

More color choices.

I'd like to see improved/firmer front forks, better/safer/softer tyres, a brighter headlight, nicer looking rear fender and a water cooled, fuel injected 125cc engine.

This gear indicator option is killing me. I have had my share of bikes and I can remember zero of them having a gear indicator.

If I had to pay more I'd want a 4 valve head. Possibly a real front suspension, too.

I don't see why they couldn't make a "Grom-R" with a better head and a 12-1 compression ratio.

I wouldn't change much else, though. Bigger motors, wheels etc. would make a "better" bike, but it wouldn't be a Grom. A CBR125 will leave a Grom in the dust but they aren't at all as much fun to ride.

all I got out of this thread is that it will be $6300 OTD in Cali...

I've only had one with it and now I always want it.

with only a thousand dollars more than it is now most likely just put better springs front and rear and redesign the trans thats what the budget allows
