And generally speaking I am in a rush on the Grom as it's my transportation of choice when I want to get into town quick. Pull on some boots, jeans, hoodie, gloves and helmet and jump on the Grom and I'm off. No need for hot sweaty full leathers. All my kit is Kevlar lined with armour and gives me 6 seconds of abrasion resistance as well as being comfortable enough to walk round town in all day. On a longer journey I will put on some better kit to protect me as I might get up to a max 60mph the Grom will give me, but round town the hoodie will do, and I look cool.
This is the other reason for getting a Grom, they are cool. If you are on a big custom bike you are trying too hard to look cool. On a Grom you are not trying to prove anything, so look cool de facto. And if you happen to be popping a wheelie (on a private road) you will look event cooler. Groms are great for doing stunts on.
