Holy shit! I had no idea they were so expensive now. I think I paid $600 or $800 for mine in 1990.

I'd roll it.

So cool, it can squeal the tires on dirt and gravel.

Honda will sell a boatload of 'em. And then, just as quickly, probably discontinue the model. Might want to grab one while you can. Years ago Honda sold a little two-stroke buzz bomb 50cc street bike called the M5. Hella fun and quite capable for their size. You can't find them anymore cuz most got thrashed but when you do they're pricey.

Last comment - that opening post calls the Grom a moped. This thing is anything but a moped, as a moped is a spindly, lightweight little step-thru that should also have pedals to truly live up to its original identity as a motorcycle/bicycle: Mo (motor) - Ped (pedals).

The more I look at it, the more I think I'd rahter just go buy a used DR-Z400SM...lol.

will own.

you can use the Grom to go to college...

Nope. No fucking way my kid will have a motorcycle in a college town especially some pile that can barely get out of its own way.
