Normally I hate stretched bikes with a passion, however the stretched groms look so cool imo.
Also the forks how they have that petrol effect thingy look so cool, never seen that before

So I eventually got what I have needed for a while now

Carbon fibre Tyga tail tidy and some very nice Rizoma indicators:

I did also buy a smaller number plate but not showing for obvious reasons lol

Plan was to install it today but the weather wasn't the best.. #StandardScottishWeather

Hoping tomorrow the weather is better and try to get it fitted then




Tomorrow came.. tail tidy has been fitted along with new indicators and a smaller plate

Well I had to get tyres first due to my rear being almost classed as a 'slick' from my local bike garage lol

Please ignore how dirty it is, it has been raining pretty much everday since Monday and today was the only day with sun

So i went and changed it up and instead of using my normal everyday tyres ContiMove 365s, I went with Michelin City Grips:

Im kinda hoping this will be the last update for a while as I sorta booked my tests for a bigger bike now

Cheers mate, had to redo my cbt again since my mod 2 is the 3rd August and CBT expires the 1st August lol.

When doing the CBT again I was allowed to do it on a GS500 so it would give me some more experience on bigger bike lol and tbh I was really easy riding it as well much smoother than the Grom and it makes me want to buy a bigger bike like right now haha

Seen a lot of these around where I live in the UK, for what they are especially the size they are quite rapid! Used to have a CBF-125 but now in love with Yamaha's YZFR-125 which I purchased about 8 months ago in a anodised red colour!

Hopefully move onto a Yamaha r6 once I've completed my test, always been a 'bike-kinda-guy'!

Ride safe and also, 'Dress to slide, not to ride'.
