grom.

[RichD]

i'm pretty sure that's exactly what it's designed to be - a fun little kick around bike.

it looks a little too serious to me to be ripping down the bike path, but let us know how that works out...

Kind of like it can't "rip" on the street, (not an L-2 904CC Desmo -W- fins)

it ain't my 'tuned-up '89 KX250 in the dirt either...
But that is part of the fun!

Like you said, a kick around, doing what's familliar,
-but a twist on the downside.  

<EDIT#2> Here is a pitch:  DUCATI, make the 269!

Single cylinder Desmo, 250-ish displacement,
"Grom" dimensional proportions.
(seat height/width (+/-) )  
120/70-12 tires



MICRO-tARD?


GO!

Ducati would sell every one they made if it was $10K or less.

Give us a Ti rod at that price, please.  Thanks.

K, I want one now.

   Those are cool.  Cheesy, but cool.

Cheesy? Right!

...But what if Ducati MADE THE REAL THING!...?

[RichD]

It looks like they may take this seriously!!!!

Ohlins is releasing a shock for the grom.

Racetech has gold valves for it too...

Saw one on PCH last weekend.  Sounded awesome too with aftermarket pipe on it.  Only caught a glimpse of it but it looked like a CF akrapovic.
