seattlegrrlie I've been using an old Honda rebel 450 as my daily for close to 5 years now when weather allows. Small bikes are always going to be more fun than big bikes because you can be more reckless with less consequence.
Rode a Honda 250cc...was a beast...period LoL Rode a 50cc scooter and it had a decent smooth kick...ppl who say 300 cc is too small apparenlty haven't ridden a bike I actually ended up getting a ' 72 Honda 550 cc with drag racing bars...was sweet riding baby LoL
Grom for the win. I like that train horn. I was surprised on how evenly matched they were. Best part of all is you were never breaking the speed limit lol. Next time you should switch bikes and race again.
The right thing gy6 is a solid match for the Grom.. even my 50cc one (upped to 72cc) has decent takeoff up to 30mph and will hold 45-47 all day. Has been totally reliable for the 4000 miles I've put on it since the rebuild. Has 6000 total. The whole scoot was ~$700 all in.. not bad IMO.
Yes ! And the idiots who make a monkey bike with such a high saddle height, so big, so apes can ride them. People have lost the sence of proportion. Totally funny /(-_-)`,
Well done and fun to watch. I'd love to see the same comparison between a Honda Grom and a Lifan KP-150 Mini. Nothing makes a grown man feel like a kid than an over grown mini bike LOL. Loved it.
You are correct. I'm the owner (or was) of this Grom and subsequently owned a Monkey 125. I did some similar mods to it, though my fuel management was done via a reflashed ECU rather than the piggyback tuner I had on the Grom. The Monkey retained the oil spinner and it definitely had more grunt down low, but not quite as much power up top.
I see Aaron is a fan of Gary Nixon. I used to see him race at the AMA Vintage Days of Mid Ohio. Did meet him but nothing beyond shaking his hand, LOL. I also heard him speak at a motorcycle rally in PA before I knew he was a legend.
That air horn sounded like what my old 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby sounded like. Those are nice rides ya'll have. The Ruckus has about 225hp and the Grom has about 275hp. Those are incredible. Now if you'll excuse me I have some more trolling to do!
@motonosity are you running the vacuum fuel pump or are you running an electric fuel pump setup? If it’s the vacuum pump that’s why you had the hiccup partly I’m sure. The vacuum pumps over fuel the gy6 carb and cause the bog.
what size belt you running? those rpms sound pretty low on the top end if youre not running an 842-20-30 you could probably squeeze out a bit more sauce on the high end
That's a super close race, man. Sure he's got 50 lbs more, which definitely makes a difference, but the ruck's got that misfire. In the end, all things considered, the two bikes are very evenly matched.
Oh yea I live at 6500 feet or so...gearing crucial...dropped one tooth in front added one more to rear sprocket...made way more difference than yoshimara pipe...which does sound great.
If you dont smile and have fun watching this you're just a turd looking for a place to stink up. If you love it small bikes are just as fun as the big ones. Everything is relative.......if u know.
That's awesome!! You guys are racing but cops wouldn't be able to tell!🤣🤣
Jesse Lopez racing to reach the speed limit 😂
Yea buddy as long as you dont break the tires loose thers no rpm limit only a speed limit lol
Lol
Little bike
Had a blast! Thanks for doing the video and making my Grom look so sweet!
People be like "a 300 is too small" and here are full sized men racing sub 150cc on city streets. Proof positive any sized motorcycle is FUN

that ruckus is 170cc now
@RyanJL337 he GY6 swapped it, then put in a big bore kit, otherwise this race would have been a lot less close

I present to you the slowest street racing in the world.
Jacob B. And legal
that dude riding a grom it's pretty much donkey kong in mario kart
Lmfao it looks hilarious when he tucks 2 inches
5:06
Lmaooo
Lmao
Haha when you look out your car window and see two grown men racing on these small bikes. #Nevergrowup. Love the content bro!
Trader Joe Hahahha I know right I want one so bad now ...
The only drag race where you won't get a speeding ticket. 😂😂
Call me crazy! That was more fun to watch than crotch rockets racing. I was like, "Go! Go! Go!"
Watching these two bikes race just makes me smile lol
Grom for the win. I like that train horn. I was surprised on how evenly matched they were. Best part of all is you were never breaking the speed limit lol. Next time you should switch bikes and race again.
Yeah definitely haha. I wanna get my brakes situation all taken care of before I let others ride it.
Yeah that would probably be best. Great video nonetheless.

@@jseden damn thats a steal..gotta get one
Aaron's a good dude, he's helped me buy a few bikes.
He helped on my last bike, great guy to work with. There's an excellent crew over there at Central Texas Powersports.
See he can street race because nobody will know he is racing
there's something silly about a big dude on a grom that just fills my soul with joy
Yes ! And the idiots who make a monkey bike with such a high saddle height, so big, so apes can ride them.
People have lost the sence of proportion. Totally funny /(-_-)`,
WOW! Talk about some extremely intense and action packed racing!
Sounds like a misfire of the ignition, have you checked the plug?
Dan still owes you a race on the Harley Cafe bike
i love the 150/171 set ups but 0:57 is why I want more >:)
it gets real at 7:29 when he gets into that full tuck. Dubstep beat drop!
Which is better for a first bike a honda helix or a honda grom
Haha! Turtle races! I have a Grom on the way. I can't wait.
Excellent! I wanted you to get next to that sport bike and ask him ‘Wassup? You wanna go or what?’ Lolol! ☮️
This is amazing! Awesome video
Well done and fun to watch. I'd love to see the same comparison between a Honda Grom and a Lifan KP-150 Mini. Nothing makes a grown man feel like a kid than an over grown mini bike LOL. Loved it.
I have a Kp mini 150cc bike and they are faster then Grom but not by much
Deleting the oil spinner hurts the low end acceleration and rpm’s drop off quicker.
You are correct. I'm the owner (or was) of this Grom and subsequently owned a Monkey 125. I did some similar mods to it, though my fuel management was done via a reflashed ECU rather than the piggyback tuner I had on the Grom. The Monkey retained the oil spinner and it definitely had more grunt down low, but not quite as much power up top.
these little bikes are so ridiculous, the amount of money and effort spent on them. I have no idea why I love them so much
Impressive. You held your own. what kind of mods do you have. Great video
Finally a ruckus video lol great stuff🔥
The funniest thing is that people have no clue you guys are racing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I see Aaron is a fan of Gary Nixon. I used to see him race at the AMA Vintage Days of Mid Ohio. Did meet him but nothing beyond shaking his hand, LOL. I also heard him speak at a motorcycle rally in PA before I knew he was a legend.
I like the looks of your Ruckus. Where did you get the brown seat?
This is absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Great video! Where is your speedometer located? Can’t seem to find it...
Awesome video allways wanted to see a ruckus race!!
Awesome! Love the Grom, but that Ruckus is so cool! ❤️🐢☠️
that was so fun hahahahaha i was giggling the whole time..
It'd be good to see the Honda Monkey thrown into the mix too.
nice bike iim thinking about buy one where can a get one like yours i live in colorado thanks
Awesome video. Should do a video on doing a tune-up on the ruckus.
Snail Race!
Does your handle bar is slightly turn left??🤔 am i the one who noticed it?
Angelo Dela Cruz camera angle bro
Probaly the only one that cares.
That air horn sounded like what my old 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby sounded like. Those are nice rides ya'll have. The Ruckus has about 225hp and the Grom has about 275hp. Those are incredible. Now if you'll excuse me I have some more trolling to do!
Good video.
I subbed! Stay cool man!
Thanks man!
I thought it was your roller weights casuing that noise. I had that issue once my Polini came out of its pocket and got jammed
Use sea foam just poar a l
Quarter in ur gas tank to clean everything out and get rid of some moisture
man! thats a lot more entertaining than the r6 videos. 😂😂. the grom and ypur ruckus are so close.
Sweet vid dude, those closeups of the bike looked super clean. What camera did u use?
This is the perfect video to show my friend xD we're trying to convince him to start riding with a ruckus or a grom :P
How did I end up here I don't know but one thing I do know I'm glad I did because this was fun to watch thanks man
Do you stil have the ruckus ?
I must know of your running a racing or performance cdi? Great content love to see ruckus respect and fun
not evenly matched...50pound difference...?!?!
how can you drive your bikes over there without the side mirrors and a speedometer on that ruckus??
Austin? I used to leave near there. nice place
Getting a new 18 Ruckus this weekend my husband loves his new Grom
You're gonna love it! So much fun.
how did you make your ruckus faster????
I can't believe I just found you! I live in Kyle about half an hour away!
@motonosity are you running the vacuum fuel pump or are you running an electric fuel pump setup? If it’s the vacuum pump that’s why you had the hiccup partly I’m sure. The vacuum pumps over fuel the gy6 carb and cause the bog.
what size belt you running? those rpms sound pretty low on the top end if youre not running an 842-20-30 you could probably squeeze out a bit more sauce on the high end
Ever thought about doing 150 swap GY6
there is something very amusing watching big guys race on little bikes
hey moto i cant seem to find the shirt with the big logo are they sold out?
Fairly evenly matched but the Grom faded in the end. Or the Ruckus cleared the clogged jets being wide open for a nice stretch.
I love how you did an italian tune up accidentally in the first run. 👍
fun video motonosity, that grom looked very nice and the guy knows his sht when he chooses kitaco ;)
Too funny! Great fun!
Motonosity you going to the Dallas 50 take over May 26th?
First race I've seen doing the speed limit
watching your videos is why I am soon to buy a rukus
he's running an oko carb which means you can literally pop the float bowl off and unscrew both jets easily and clean them
That's a super close race, man. Sure he's got 50 lbs more, which definitely makes a difference, but the ruck's got that misfire. In the end, all things considered, the two bikes are very evenly matched.
Got a grom...love it.
Ruckus or Grom, wich to buy?
The Jets on the ruckus may have little sediment in them... But from the runs you guys had I think you were pretty well matched
That’s a awesome grom! Lol
the tires you guys are using are the same. those are one of the best tires ive used. the dual compound michelin tires...
Measured in smiles per hour.
What is the windscreen brand on the grom?
Jacob Shotts MRA, Twisted Throttle carries them.
Dude you driving around cedar Park?or round Rock i live in Leander area know thos roads and buildings just can't remember wear
Awesome video, maybe you should clean up the jets because it's kind of stuttering
HAHA nevermind i just watched the video LOL im sorry!
lol its all good
what brand of windscreen was that on his Grom?
It's made by MRA Germany. Twisted Throttle sells it here: www.twistedthrottle.com/mra-double-bubble-racingscreen-windshield-for-honda-msx125-grom-13
Hey moto, Should I buy the 2015 r3, or the 2017 r6?
Add Sea Foam to your gas. It will clean up carb problems!
Oh yea I live at 6500 feet or so...gearing crucial...dropped one tooth in front added one more to rear sprocket...made way more difference than yoshimara pipe...which does sound great.
I miss racing Aaron home from work evenings!!! Looks like you guys had fun!
You can hear that Ruckus struggling to get fuel on every pull.
What would be the max weight???
Make a video on how to clean the ruck jets
I think he was talking about Stabil which is a fuel stabilizer. You should definitely try it out
If you dont smile and have fun watching this you're just a turd looking for a place to stink up.
If you love it small bikes are just as fun as the big ones. Everything is relative.......if u know.
Early gang! Love your vids! The 💗💗
Slowest race ever lol
funniest* and coolest*
That race was way better than the race against the r1 and r6😂
Do fuel injection conversion on the Ruckus :D
I live less than a mile from that parking lot where you first raced haha
Surprised😀 thought the Grom being manuel would win👍
Efi ruckus for the future?
3 honks and it looked like a still shot of the 2 peds. Very unimpressive. But looked fun.🤘
If your jets get dirty, Just put acetone or lacquer thinner,in your gas and drive it, for a good long ride.
Motorcycle license needed for these?
In Texas, yes.
