California's Steady Garage has revealed a Honda Grom build that replaces the stock 125cc engine with a 300cc unit from a Honda CBR300. The team used a Chimera Engineering mounting kit to fit the larger engine into the original frame and swingarm, paired with a Yoshimura RS-5 exhaust borrowed from a CBR600RR, roughly tripling the Grom's original output.

Motorcycles aren't transportation, they're culture — that line hits hardest on builds like this. Cramming 300cc into a Grom-sized chassis is straight-up deranged, and I mean that as a compliment. Routing that engine through the frame and swingarm with the Chimera kit tells me these guys sweated every bolt.

Looks adorable, runs like a monster inside, lol.

If you're going that far, just ride a CBR300 stock, honestly.

Tripling stock output beats even that CBR250R precedent.

Grom's basically destined to be a donor chassis at this point.

Cramming 300cc into a Grom chassis is unhinged in the best way.

Sounds fun, but does that even pass inspection?
