Type R Mini: HONDA GROM Custom
TTR MOTORS's GROM
At first glance, it looks like a CB1100R (D), but one more look, and it's just a little bit cuter. This bike with such a fun atmosphere is actually the "Type R Mini," based on the Grom, developed by TTR Motors. Even when placed side by side with the real CB1100R, it shows off its imposing stature.
The exterior is in the style of the CB1100R, featuring carbon mirrors, OVER rearsets, and the TTR Motors original exhaust. The wheels are stock Grom wheels painted to match the color scheme. The wheel painting process involves reproducing the anodized aluminum color of the Boomerang Comstar wheels used on the original CB1100R through painting. The body color is also reproduced in the same way.
Handle
The stock meter has been relocated to the cowl bracket, and clip-ons have been installed, but the bikes sold to customers come with the stock handlebar of the Grom as standard.
Bodyworks
The exterior of the bike has been made to resemble the CB1100R, but designed to fit the Grom. The front cowl is made of FRP, while the fuel tank section is covered.
The single seat cowl shape of the CB1100R is faithfully reproduced, including the "1100" and "R" logos on the cowl side. However, in this case, only the "R" is used, and the upper 1100 is made to resemble "GROM".
An oil cooler has also been added to this bike. The sticker on the side is a replica of the RSC sticker from that time, "BSC," produced by Bike Shop Craft in Okinawa.
Chassis
The front forks, as well as the air-cooled single-cylinder engine and frame, are GROM OEM parts. The front brake calipers on this bike have been changed to Brembo Axial Cast P4.
The bike is equipped with Ohlins shocks and an OVER aluminum swingarm. The rear brake calipers are also customized with Brembo Cast Caliper P2 32. The exhaust system has been replaced with a megaphone type. The wheels are Grom OEM and have been painted to match the gold anodized color of the CB1100R by TTR Motors.
Indeed, TTR Motor's Grom Type R Mini has an impressive presence that could rival the real CB1100R (on the right). It's not hard to understand why owners of CB1100R would be interested in owning one.
