That's probably because it's not 60 mph. My new 22 stock Grom speedo indicates 12% faster speed than actual GPS measured speed. My top GPS speed is 51 mph.

Great price. Honest dealership. Mine tried to charge me $780 for my 2018 Grom assembly and I laughed. Told them I know for a fact that they come in the crate fully assembled, just needs battery connected, oil filled and mirrors threaded on by hand. I ended up completely negotiating away the assembly charge. It paid off for them, as over the years I purchased four more motorcycles from them and got numerous tire changes and services/oil changes

You guys have 50-60mph roads going straight into roundabouts??? Over here the highest you're allowed to go into a roundabout is 60kmh (~37mph), and those are huge ass roundabouts.
@Daniel-dj7fh2 жыл бұрын
Yea that fun you're having is the fun of wringing out the whole engine, something you can't really do with bigger bikes. Personally I think that a 300- honda's 500 are the limit to where power and usability sit, anything higher and you're never reving the motor at all. My cb500f does about 90kmh in 2nd, revving out 1st is always janky on any bike. Meaning the only real revving you can do legaly on that thing is between 2nd and 3rd on backroads (where you don't really fully use the 3rd gear). And lets be honest, the highway isn't much fun.
@Daniel-dj7fh2 жыл бұрын
I've also noticed that on my 500 that the bike moves faster than I can enjoy the moment of riding. Back in my 125 days every corner I take I would have had time to think about the line, the angle, and everything. Nowadays I'm around the corner before I even register it.
