[QUOTE="69ST, post: 165554, member: 5"] Stock-vs-stock, it's no contest. The MSX125/Grom is a road-oriented machine with close to a half-century of R&D time. Of course, there's no folding-up the bars and hauling one inside another vehicle. The newer bike is a commodity, a depreciating asset, at this time. We'll have to wait another 25 years to see if that changes. For now, the CT70 is iconic, an appreciating collectible. The Grom is a rider; need replacement kinutin valve, visit the nearest Honda dealership. If I had to choose a purely stock bike, the Grom would get the nod. In the real world, however, there's a third option...transforming a machine into what you want. And, it's possible to build a CT70 into something that outperforms a stock Grom, hands-down...I'm talking about total performance, not just top speed. IMO, it boils down to personal preference. The one you prefer is the better choice. Good to have options, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
