Lately, I have been going the other direction...
I had an 1800cc Triumph Thunderbird Storm, which had torque that could pull your arms out of their sockets, but it weighed a ton, and I never got completely confident making U turns on it.
I sold it and bought a Honda CTX1300, which was still super heavy. Eventually I sold that and bought a Yamaha FJ-09, which weighs about 500 pounds and has ergos that fit me perfectly so I always feel confident on it.
I don't think I'll get a Grom, but light bikes are a lot of fun.
