question- Monkey v Grom

highside49 · Dec 27, 2019

I need a new pit bike. My Aprilia RS50 (Marco Melandri replica) is having issues. I'm looking at a Grom or a Monkey. I might ride it around my neighborhood some but mainly it will be used at the track (i.e. Daytona, Road Atlanta, Roebling). I am 6' 3". I certainly would appreciate any advice you guys could give me. Thanks.

The scooter is an SR50. I was thinking about my old Aprilia RS 250.

I have a grom and liked it around the pits. Everyone said get a scooter and nothing with a clutch, but by all means, the grom is just a blast.

Thanks Phil. I hear the Grom is almost bullet proof. And, there are a ton of aftermarket goodies for it. I tell you one thing, my 2 stroke Aprilia scooter was super fast, but far from bullet proof.

The aftermarket parts situation is a blessing and a curse.

if you know what I mean

I recommend a Honda Monkey. Its riding position is as comfortable as any minimoto can be for any size rider. And the FAT seat can't be beat

I'm 6'2" Grom is excellent.
