150 scoot vs 125 GROM By twowheeler (Read 2,838 times)

Ive been thinking about a 150 scoot but at 3000 that Honda Grom is pretty cool. Way faster than the 150 scoot and top speed is higher as well....if i have to have the endorsement and such might as well go with the peppier one.

Take a look at the SYM Wolf Classic.

Agreed. The Grom is cute but the Wolf is bigger and more versatile.

In the end if you need more speed than a stock 50 can give, an endorsement and a 150 is the least expensive way to go. In the last 6 years I have seen people with thousands in a 50 that runs like a greyhound for a couple months then its broke. Some did not last that long.

Honda has been making that engine configuration since Moses was a kid which is a good thing,,fuel injected,,,,,nice

read a few articles on the grom,,,mostly good a with few disenters,,,such as underpowered,,,the reviews of the wolf say the same thing,,,i just like the looks of the wolf,,,,kinda has a classic standard look ,,,,i'm gonna have to be an extra special good boy to get it,,,that's the part i'll have a hard time pulling off,,,just sent an e-mail to setup a test ride for a wolf,,,found a dealer 20 miles from the house

Looked at the wolf last nite,,,nice finishing,,great welds,,,with just a couple changes it'll be perfect,,,i may have to have one,,,unfortunately they didn't have one ready for test rides,,,major bummer,,,but still all in all a very nice bike,,,sym is a major player,,it's as nice as almost everything out there,,,i frequently haunt all the dealers around,,fit and finish is right there with the rest of them
