Agreed. I like the more aggressive look of the 2020 better. But I’m not going to lie, I LOVE how comfortable the fairings on the 2022 are. They seem to like perfectly fit/hug my leg geometry. I hope someone makes replacements panels that have an aggressive look with the same ergonomics.
I kinda like the looks of the 2020 better but I might be biased because I have one. The 2022 with 5 gear and better seat might be worth it but I bought an after market seat already.
You can probably pick up a replacement 2022 motor and swap it out to get the extra gear on your 2020 model 🤷♂️ I’ve seen one on eBay that came out of a bike that was rear ended but the motor was perfect. Something like $850? Could be worth getting the performance upgrade without having to do a full bike upgrade. And you’ll probably lose almost that much on your 2020 bike value just trying to sell it.
Agree. I like the benefits of the 2022, but the looks of the 2020. Wish they could mix the 2. I'm going for a 22 for the benefits. Plus, I'm a taller rider.
Just got one of these as 2023 in black for $3000 new, out the door, and coming from my 2005 cbr600 I just ride this bike for 3 hours and didn’t realize it had a indicator.
You mention that the seat is thicker and also wider. Is the 2022 model, the best one for a petite 5 foot woman? The only reason I am considering a Grom is that it is the only motorbike low enough for me. It’s crazy that motorcycles have over the years become a lot taller. It seems to me that the female market has been totally ignored in these modern times
Are the seats interchangeable? Because I like the seat on the green one (2020) better than the blue one (2022). The seat on the green one looks more sporty.
No way that 5th gear adds 20 mpg. Total bull shit right there. A four speed Grom with stock sprockets can't even pull redline. Trying to sell 2022 Groms for $5k good luck with that rip off.
2020 looks WAY better. Looks more like a sports bike! Plus I don't like the holes on the body panels on the 2023. Looks like someone shot up the bike 😅
I was planning to buy but seem like a lot of people complain about the engine making a whining noice or scheecing noice, does that happen to you but if tha happened wha solution to fix it or what the cause?? ANY information please let me know👍
Rode the OG Grom when it was introduced. Sucked. Front suspension was mush. Bought a Z125. A true mini motorcycle with way better handling. Put 7500 miles on it. My bud had the 2nd gen Grom. Same suck ass crap suspension. Just got a ‘23 Grom. This suspension doesn’t suck like all the previous.
2022 has problems with the transmission I have 1 with only 300 miles and still breaking it in and transmission is making noise honda dealer won't do anything about it
From what ive read, the final gear on both bikes is almost exactly the same ratio, so the 5 speed allows you more rev flexibility in the middle, but no more top speed
The 2022 Grom is ugly as f**k (IMHO). Also, the Honda website states that the 22 model gets 166 mpg. If that is realistically true, then it's even better than what this gentleman is stating in this video.
Success takes time. I am gaining 500+ per month and making decent money.. I didn’t say I want 1m right away.. realistic expectations should be healthy and measurable. Ps: I haven’t posted in a long time.. there is a reason for it which I will let the audience know towards end of the month. Stay tuned.
I am here in support of my riding brother. I have 2020 Honda monkey 2022 Honda monkey and the 2022 Honda from sp. your channel will explode when you least expect it. You just keep putting in the work and pumping out great videos like this and 1m subs will be past you and you will be heading for 2m. I just subbed you brother. ✌🏽
Worth upgrading to new gen? Leave a comment below!
I actually like the 2020 better.
I’ve thought about getting a grim as a second bike. The 2022 seems to be the better buy. I actually like the 2020 design better.

Honestly the older one looks better to me !!
100% agree. The 2020 looks more aggressive and sporty.
I love my 22. Full exhaust, intake and a tune it boogies now.
Picking my 22 in blue in a few months, can't wait.

2020 looks way more aggressive IMO.

SF Grom looks way sexier and meaner. No debate!

2025 model, back to the future!

If I can put the seat and that additional gear in my 2020 I will do that upgrade in a heartbeat.
About to pick up my 22 this weekend even though it looks like a damn dragonfly. 2020 model is way better looking imo.
Dragonfly's are badass. C'mon now.
This is a great video, please make the music a little quieter, it makes it hard to hear you. Thanks for the info.

I prefer the styling of the 2nd generation grom but everything else from the 3rd generation.

I don't know, but regarding looks the old one is way better. And the Benelli tnt125 looks better than both.
But how much is the Benelux?

2022 has problems with the transmission I have 1 with only 300 miles and still breaking it in and transmission is making noise honda dealer won't do anything about it
They have to under warranty / guarantee
They can't figure out the problem and said not enough complaints to open a recall on it yet said ride it till it breaks
@@dennissingh7332 you know what to do then ride its like you stole it till breaks 😁👍
Rear sprocket has a chain guard that vibrates and amplifies the chain noise so you can remove it and that solves the issue
The 22 looks like a scooter a little bigger Navi they ruined the looks
In my honest opinion, I think the OG ggrom what is the best looking out of all of them
I have a fz1000, I’m probably about to buy a grom for a 2nd bike to do trail riding with my friends on
I'd be looking at a 2nd hand, crf250l or drz400 for trail... if your used to a bigger bike, the novelty will wear off quickly with the grom.....
Gear spread is why the newer one seems faster its probably not faster in a drag race
I dont know why that small bike is expensive. Its engine is the same as the ones honda used in most of its 125 cc underbone bikes here in asia
How fast is going
Are the gear ratios the same I bet there different that way it fills like more power. Gears are cheap and so is the seat.
Ratios are different.. top speed the same..
From what ive read, the final gear on both bikes is almost exactly the same ratio, so the 5 speed allows you more rev flexibility in the middle, but no more top speed
Old version are more agressive
But what about that Ducati!!!! 🔥
2020 model looks way better than the new version. The new model looks ugly and it seems to be a downgraded version of its predecessor looks wise.
The 2022 Grom is ugly as f**k (IMHO). Also, the Honda website states that the 22 model gets 166 mpg. If that is realistically true, then it's even better than what this gentleman is stating in this video.
Horrible body work on new one. Old style is way better
Give me a 2022 with a 2020 front end. The headlight on the 2022 is ugly asf
2022 looks lame man, big let down on it
The new models look like ass. I’ll take my 2018 any day over one of the newer models
i’m looking at getting an 17-18. is it nice n reliable? and what’s speed top at
@zachmoore8849 asking top speed questions might be the wrong bike for you. Buy it for 1st / last mile trips because it’s slow and not that kinda bike.
Flashing hands are very irritating to someone such as myself who is autistic.
I really feel sad for your channel
Why?
@@PetroHead bcz your channel subscribers aren't increasing. U said one of your video u have dream get 1m subscribers
