Cool little bike but shame on Kaw for being a copycat and not the trendsetter.

Kawi was with the Ninja 250. :thumbup: I can understand why Kawi didn't take the lead, I would never of thought people would spend thousands on a pooter scooter, to me it's ridiculous. But people do, so why not jump on the band wagon........

I wonder if it was more of a little revenge for Honda introducing the cbr250 a few years ago and taking a slice out of their market.

Groms are huge and the aftermarket for them is insane already. Kawasaki sees the demand. Typically Honda is the innovator while Kawi waits a couple years then smashes everybody. I'll be the Z125 destroys a grom stock vs stock.

Grom: 9.7 hp, 224 lbs.
Z125: 9.4 hp, 222 lbs.

No clear winner.

(1978 Yamaha DT100: 10.0 hp, 176 lbs.)
