    The Grom has foot pegs for a passenger and can hold more weight and has a larger seat so you can ride two up if ever needed. Important fact.

    The styling of the monkey is reminiscent of the old z50's, which is perhaps the most durable motorcycle ever created.

      Those z50s still sell for a good amount of money and they move for a 50

    More comfortable because it has dual shocks?? Thicker seat probably helps more. Quality of the single, or dual, shocks is way more important.

    2021 Grom and 2022 on Monkey have a new long stroke 5 speed engine. It also has higher compression and an oil filter. Not much parts interchangeable, the head studs are much closer to the piston on the new model so only 145cc big bore kits are possible.

      @turkishpartyboy  2 роки тому +1

      In my opinion I would believe that you should be able to swap all engines no problem a slight modification might be necessary but if a grom can fit a 300 or 250cc engine I don’t see why you can’t use any other grom or monkey engine without much effort

    • @RiptideSwift

      @@turkishpartyboy its possible with 250/300 because they’re making convertion brackets for them. Don’t see that on the original engines. But yeah, only wiring loom’s different…so if you buy a complete NG Grom u should be OK then

    The reason you think the gearing is different is because of tire size, those monkey tires are substantially bigger and tires are part of the gearing
