this means nothing but the Grom (same engine) is built in Thailand.Ole_imp said:
I wouldn't say it means nothing, but anyways, if the Grom is Thai, then the monkey mosty likely will be too.

What do you mean "I wouldn't say it means nothing (Thai vs Japan)?" Should I cancel my deposit and request a refund? My Thai-built CBR250R didn't have any issues but maybe I was lucky with that one. Stichill seems to have had no issues with his CBR250R either. Please enlighten me with regard to your comment because the last thing I need to do is waste $5000 on a piece of junk. Curious to hear about your experience with Thai-built Hondas.

whoa slow down there pal
I was not commenting on Thailand built Hondas
The previous poster just wondered where they were going to be built
I know for a fact Groms are built in Thailand so I posted it
I was NOT bashing Thai built Hondas in any way shape or form
where did you read that?
In fact I have owned three with excellent results
PCX125
PCX150
Forza300
I will buy Thai built Hondas again
by the way I head to your glorious state at 5am Mon
two weeks to carve your wonderful roads
peace out

It's all good. I misinterpreted your comment as a critical indictment of Thai bikes and was curious about your experience and point of view. Thanks for clarifying.Ole_imp said:
If you'll be near the Denver area while you're out here, give me a shout and I'll be happy to show you some excellent roads that are not on the tourist maps.

Enjoy the Silver Thread Scenic Byway to Lake City! If you can ride it all the way to South Fork (assuming you're starting from Gunnison), all the better! Fun road!
Also, if it fits your schedule, consider taking McClure Pass from Carbondale to Paonia / Hotchkiss. Really nice scenery and great sweepers. Then, from Hotchkiss, bear south through Crawford, past the eastern escarpment of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and onto US 50 where you'll catch the Silver Thread. You'll grind some foot pegs (floorboards?) on that stretch!

I would have SO jumped all over this 10 years ago when I was really into scootering ... now not so much, but it IS a beautiful postmodern update of a classic bike. Beautiful color and LED headlight. One-gallon gas tank though ... so stop and smell the roses. A lot.
I can attest to these having owned the Cub-based CT90 in college way back when and put 40,000 miles of daily driving on it in all weather (only issues at that time were blowing fuses due to the battery acting as the voltage regulator ... hopefully that old tech is long gone). Plus I bet this new Cub will hold its value really well, as this may be a very limited run (think W650).

Hey old friends it's been awhile since I sold the CB1100, hope this message finds every one well and in good health. We just put our deposit down on two of the new C125 Super Cubs. As you may remember Deb and I LOVE our old 81 C70 Cubs, so we just had to. Supposed to be here in January.
Born to be Mild!!
Ride safe and be well.

My own wife is rabid for one of these, and is considering breaking into motorcycling because she likes it so much. Those 70's are awesome. cool set!

Sat on the new Super Cub yesterday, as well as the new Monkey. I think both are going to be big sellers in the U.S.
