Verdict The little Grom is a big deal. It sells in huge numbers, it’s cheap, and gets, like, three times better gas mileage than a Toyota Prius.

Of course you can do trackdays, but this is not a GSX-R sportbike. I know that’s kind of confusing, but that is the deal. This bike is powered by Suzuki’s 776cc parall ..read more
