View LargerView ThumbnailsHonda Grom

Base Price: $2999

Honda's tiny new Grom is already gaining a cult following. It's just so darn cute. The 125-cc minibike may look like a downsized sportbike, but, though it can hit 55 mph, it really isn't fast enough for the freeway. This bike is best as a beachside cruiser. That's even where this featherweight got its name (a Grom is a young surfer kid). And that speaks to who Honda expects to be pining for the bike.

But beyond the beach, the Grom is cool for anyone. We could see this bike as a very smart alternative to a traditional scooter because it's roomy enough for a six-footer and packs way more fun. Best of all, the Grom is so compact it makes hauling the bike around relatively easy compared to, say, carrying Honda's larger CBR250.

 

I just spent a week on an FZ8. It's a Nice bike but my preference is attached below!

 

Thanks J.C. for being the first to post & share Do you wear a helmet ? Do you have a picture of the FZ28 to post ?

 

Good Day Mr. Rider, the pics I have are on my computer at home. I am on my cell right now. But the FZ8 is the third bike down on your pics. I was on a 2013 w III the just over 600 miles.

 

Yamaha FZ-09

Base Price: $7990

It's usually the bikes that have been on the market for a while that tend to be the best values. Not in this case. The new FZ-09 costs around $800 less than the outgoing model, and it gets better. The new Yamaha also undercuts the competition by more than a grand, making the FZ-09 one of the best deals of the year.

Beyond the money, this is one fun-to-ride and tough-looking machine. The new 850-cc triple belts out 115 hp and enough torque to have you squirting through traffic. As fun as the FZ-09 is in the canyons, it doesn't beat the rider up on city streets—the suspension is on the soft side, which we appreciate.

 

i owned a 04 cbr 600 that was built up a bit a few years back and loved it but i sold it do to not respecting the bike and i didnt want to kill myself on it like someone i rode with from time to time did.

yes riding the back wheel is easy and tons of fun, find the balance point and ride the back wheel for miles! until a van pulls out in front of you and you have no control to stop or swerve and you hit the van doing around 100mph on the back wheel (thats what killed the guy i rode with)

if i wasnt doing stupid stuff like that and high speeds the bike was no fun to me and thats why i sold it. i dont like harleys i like sport bikes that i wont let myself own so no more bikes for me

 

I don't have a street legal bike yet. I do have a 1999 jc 250 and she rips. Then I have a 2008 ttr 230 that my girlfriend rides.
