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.

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.

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 Read more: scooterdoc.proboards.com/thread/9400/150-scoot-125-grom?page=1#scrollTo=76976#ixzz2tpduckbq |

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
