    Fastest Grom ever?

    Anybody else want a 1199 Panigale-powered Grom? It lasted until it caught fire; the guy said he's going to rebuild it.

    Speaking from experience with the 1199 motor. With the set up he had I'm surprised it didn't set him on fire. The exhaust is too hot for that compact design.

    He is working on a RSV version that should be wicked. I just can't see it being rideable. The power to weight is crazy and all the rider aids are stripped off. No way to control the thing.

    Could be fun to watch on youtube.
