I would recommend this bike for any beginner. While it is anemic in the performance department, it will get you into the world of motorcycles, and it'll get you there cheaply.

I bought this when I was fed up with my other bike's lack of reliability. I like this bike as it had all the features I was looking for: electronic fuel injection, water cooling, 6-speed manual (what's with only 4 on the grom?) as well as it's light weight.

I managed to get stellar gas mileage out of it. My riding is mostly to school, usually cruising around 50-80km/h. I managed to return 101 MPG out of it. Over 300km to 6L of gas.

While it's not fast in any sense of the word, it still manages to be fun. I love my car, but I'll take the bike any day. I've never had so much fun at 70km/h. The fastest I managed was downhill with a tailwind, 130km/h.

It's a fantastic city bike. Cheap to buy, run, and insure. Fast enough to go on any road safely, but not quite fast enough for intercity travel.

I'd say if you're not sure if biking is for you, try the 125R.

General Comments:

Pros:

- Cheap to buy, run and insure.

- Very light weight, flickable, good handling, decent disc brake on both front and back.

- Fuel injection is nice - no choke or cold start issues.

- Ideal for commuting or back roads.

- 0 to 80 KPH is decent.

Cons:

- Runs out of steam at about 90 KPH, and has a top speed of 110-120, depending on your weight, etc.

- Stay off the interstate during rush hour, or you'll get run over!

Faults:

Three headlamps.

One set of tires.

Smashed signal pod dropping it in rain (replaced by dealer for free).

General Comments:

Excellent starter or commuter bike.

Cheap on: insurance, fuel, parts & speeding tickets.

Handles perfectly in the city.

Blown around easily on the highways.

Reliable fuel injection = no hassles.

Easy to maintain, clean & work on.

Faults:

I lost a screw when it was breaking in. Woohoo.

I have not had the bike long enough for something significant to happen. It sounds really different now that it's broken in; it's a nicer normal sound.

General Comments:

Its handling is really crisp. Insane cornering can be done if you lean over the bike since it's so light.

The acceleration is good enough for city riding. The engine races to redline in first to about 30km/hr, making cagers think you're trying to race so they often go for it. You can do 90~100 km/h on the highway for extended periods no problem.

It's got awesome fuel economy, and contrary to what people think about its small size and large rider, it's as fast as a 600 in the city, thanks to its far better handling and the obstacles encountered normally. Traffic obstacles meant to slow down cars just don't work, because you can either go around or over them. If you mess up the parking, you can always lift the rear end and fix it.
