So much more fun than all these brown seated hipster steeds…

Groms are awesome.

Mine had a Moriwaki exhaust, JDM tail tidy with CBR600RR plate light/reflector combo after a shit Thai one broke, big-ass Brembos front and rear, vents on the panels which didn't go anywhere, braced alloy swingarm, YSS shock, about 10 iterations of shit indicators, red rear plastics, and for a brief while a 183cc kit.

Also, I looked at least 6 foot tall while riding it.

Mad custom bike scene over there. Not my type of bikes but love the community side of things.

Yep, you wouldn't see me lowering a moped or a Grom either. But it looks like a fun scene.

There's a very odd custom scene in Japan,they definitely see thing differently.

I don't get monkey bikes,or groms,but hey.

I enjoyed the lowrider-stretch scooters but everything else was timewarped from the BulldogBash in the 80s.

And say what you like about the current hipster bike scene (and you do! ;)), if you actually bothered to go to one of the shows there's some great stuff and very few brown seats. And they're pretty much all comfortable daily riders, unlike those silly scooters and 80s chop relics.

Easy tiger, it was only a light hearted post ;). I don't recall being that rude towards hipster bikes.

It looks like fun. :thumbup:

(But it also looks like a competition for who can most comprehensively ruin the handling of a bike :lol: ).

I don’t know if I’m mentally disabled or anything but I think that they’re great.

I think you're both mentally disabled, but I thought that before you said you liked low rider scooters.

The thing about those videos that cheers me up is that all the riders appear to be young, which is A Good Thing. :thumbup:

(If it was the UK they'd all be 50+...which would be A :wtf: Thing).

Shame they don't actually go like Akira bikes though.
