    More power to these guys! They did ride Groms across America, and a Grom is too weak for some things. I recently sold my much beloved Honda Helix 250, which would comfortably make it across America because it's too weak for the mountainous area I live in. 450 class is much better, like a Burgman 400, for going over mountains. A 650cc twin, like SV650 or Ninja 650, for playing on mountain roads. And a 750 four cylinder to get you coast to coast. You could go bigger, but I doubt that you'll get there sooner. 500lbs is my limit for fun and practical to ride and wrestle.

    I have no idea how you did this on Groms. I am the small engine motorcycle touring warrior, let me tell you. I purposely purchased a 50cc moped with a mini trail engine so I could mount a 150cc engine on. I ride on the interstate, I go everywhere. So I can pretty much be the authority here on the matter. With that said, the way you sit on the Grom, I just don't see how you could do it. I never owned a Grom but rode several and it just seems uncomfortable for touring. So the fact that you ignored the pain in your knees and your back and made it happen give me a lot of respect for you. I may ride a few states away and stay then ride back but there is no way I would ride a Grom across the country. So my hats off to you on that. You are my heroes.

      It's 125cc motor so it's going to be more of a factor of wind, elevation, your weight. These bikes were completely stocked. On the west coast we were stuck in the 50s as we got back to Florida where it's flat and wind was on our side we hit the limiter at 73 a few times drafting trucks.

      stock everything. It's all about elevation and wind direction. If the wind is at your back and you're on flat ground with a draft you'll hit rev limiter 73mph or at least high 60s easily. If you're going uphill in new Mexico where the elevation is high going into the wind you'll max out at 32mph. I'd say we averaged low to mid 60s when full throttle.
