HPD wasn't interested in helping us in that regard. We made a 20 page presentation explaining how we could provide tens of thousands in marketing in return for letting us (The Honda of America Race Team) BORROW a couple if Groms.
I never heard if Powersports even acknowledged our request let alone accept or deny it.
At the time (late last year?) Groms were pretty much sold out everywhere so maybe they didn't have any to give? Either way we were pretty bummed. The team continues to use old CRF50s...

I was the guy in the green shirt gawking at them nonstop. I should have asked for a ride since I'm a huge sucker for underpowered motorcycles with just enough power to do the speed limit.
I don't care if I can buy two second-hand Ninjas for the price of one new Grom, I want the Grom.
(this thread is now about single cylinder Hondas)

I want to say it was more like a PA50II or a Hobbit. I'll find out more deets. One of my favorite parts of visiting my grandpa was riding that thing. I believe my cousins stole it after his death.

Or if we can find a volvo 760...
its $400.

Yes, standard value is $400. Leaves some room for a sway bar and lots of aero...
225 hp stock and a big gas tank.
Lots of parts swap-ability with the 4th gen Supra and the LS400.
Lots of talk on the Chumpcar forum about it being one of the cars "to have" but to date only one podium in an enduro for the sc300 afaik

So SC300 was more of a POS than I was hoping for. Nothing that would really matter for a Chumpcar but I wonder if it's worth spending an extra $1000-1500 to get a nicer car to start with. Finding an M/T SC300 is such a pain and this ones in Charlotte.
I talked the guy down to $1800 but I'm still not in love with it even at that price...
Too many projects
