maybe all the cool kids will be ditching their old versions for the new ones and you can get a cheaper used one. the honda monkey at my stealership was only 1k more out the door than msrp
Find a good dealer. Mine doesn't charge mark up. Hell i got a full blown CBR1000 SP RR-R number 13 for MSRP! Sales tax was my only bump. Not all of them are scumbags.
Having a group of friends like this is the best thing ever, 100% fun 0% worries about the risks of riding faster bikes Im planning to buy a couple of these lil bois for me and my girlfriend to have fun together
I agree. I have a 2015 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and the 2015 650. I enjoy whipping the 650 more as I bang thru the gears. Also lighter and easier to maneuver.
@@Image-X yeah is sure fun to be able to use 10% of your bike riding to work….fun at the track for sure…I sold my fast bike and bought a sorta fast bike. But I can actually use most of the power. I can only go to the track a few times a summer…I can ride to work every day
There are plenty of people with used grom around my area and they pretty much all ask $3000+. Some are pretty much new but I might just order the 2022 since the upgrade has some features I really like.
Hi Kase and Team TFL. I like the videos you and Alex create. Your information is perfectly relevant and since I am 5 foot 10 inches and 160 pounds I totally get your feedback and understand where you are coming from. I went from small dirt bikes to larger off-road bikes to large street bikes and a very fast CBR 900RR. Some of my most fun experiences were on the small bikes.
I love these new ones. The blue one is awesome!!! Just wish the circles were hidden or painted blue to match and it would look much better 👀. I’m sure that can be easily fixed aftermarket though
I live in Alabama, and these things are everywhere. The idea behind a grom is a great one. It's just a light portable scooter/motorcycle for putting around town or to bring on vacation and explore around in. I'm a die hard harley guy through and through, but I have to admit honda is awsome too.
The CB300R needs this screen update. Not hugely important but the gear position indicator was really nice to have as a new rider. I think that would help remove an annoyance in the 300.
@@painterboy454 they have swap kits to do just that. Its what I plan to do to my 2022 monkey after its out of warranty. I'm not even gonna waste money on upgrades for the 125, they cost too much and the tiny amount of performance gain just isn't worth the cash outlay. 30 hp and 6 speeds should perk the monkey up a bit.
@@billwilliamson9842, now that sounds like a great plan!! Back in 1988 I put an LS5 454 with nitrous in a brand new Chevrolet Caprice. Didn't even wait for the warranty to expire. Was the wife's daily driver for 18 years and 190,000 miles. Ran 13.2 @ 102mph in the quarter, lol. Life is more exciting when you pick up where the engineers left off.
Thanks for the 'Great Videos' - You guys are the only one's that I have found that gives a price range with your 'Excellent' reviews. At 63 yrs and retired, I have never owned a motorcycle. I am looking for a small bike just for fun and the video's are the perfect info for a guy like me. Thanks Again , See Ya !! / P. S. I'm subscribed !! I'll be watching !!
It wasn't mentioned, but my understanding is that Honda added the 5th gear to aid acceleration due to the new engine making slightly less power due to the new emissions requirements.
@@Bugside yea the rumor mill is it makes 1 hp more and peak tq arrives 250 rpm lower. They did that along with a lower 1st gear, 5th is slightly higher then last models 4th, rear sprocket went from 34 to 37, muffler went from a 3 chamber design to a single chamber, as well as a smaller catalytic converter which is lighter too. I'd love to see 2 same sized riders, one on a 2021 model and the other on a 2022 and see just how those changes equates to real world feel and performance. The monkeys also got a progressive rate rear shock for bigger riders, not sure about the groms. It aggravates me all these guys seem to want to talk about is the exposed fasteners, stickers, colors etc They made some minor but extensive changes and the 2022's should have a better feel to them over last years models.
I had my Honda grom 2021 last January I have installed a full stunt on it I’m so happy how that little engine is so powerful ..groms are so much funny Iswear ☺️
I'm wondering how accurate the speedo is. I have a Benelli TNT135 and they come from the factory reading ridiculously high on the speedometer - luckily there is a way to change a setting to make it accurate.
2019 GROM owner, best bike ever here in South America 125cc is enough for the daily commute, but falls short to travel top speed I get is 88 km/h (55 mph), guess next year I'll step up to the Honda cb160f DLX the man who do the service to my bike just went to a 500kms (+300 miles) trip climbing 4500 ft elevation and pulls like a charm just use 1 1/2 fuel tank (to go and come back) which is amazing mpg, there's no doubt Honda makes the best (all around motorcycles)
I'd get a used, Japanese 250-450cc dualsport...WR250R, KLX250S, CRF250L, or even a DR-Z400S. Take a BRC, get your M license, then ride dirt for a bit before venturing out into traffic. I don't even like riding in city traffic, and I ride a lot of dirt and I gear up...helmet, armored pants, armored gloves, armored jacket, boots, and chest/back-protector. I can throw a 400lb DR650 around in rutted, rooted, rocky, muddy, sandy singletrack, and I still don't like riding in city traffic. Cagers are distracted...and nuts. I'd rather take my chances around turkeys and deer, so I try to stay out of city traffic on motos. In just the last month, I've witnessed 2 cages sideways and bouncing off dividers/cages at 80MPH, and then...disintegrated, on my 50-mile I94 commute to Chicago. One must have rolled about 8 times, after ping-ponging off at least 2 other cages.
I'm really considering Getting one for school and work because my comute isn't really long nor complicated and I'd love something fun and nippy to just make those travels a bit more exciting. That being said I am 6ft 3 and this bike would make me look like a child so I'd say that my main concern is just how cumbersome it would be for a taller person like myself. Great video btw cheers
We rode Kawasaki Z 125 Pros for our motorcycle beginner course. They are very fun as well. Just keep in mind, if you are over 5' 10" you'll probably hit your knees with the handlebars before full lock.
Basically the same bike, different transmission, headlight and plastics. My hopped up 2016 MSX (Thailand) is my daily ride. I mothballed my other bikes. Change the sprockets depending if you want more top end or more get-up and go. Paid $800 for mine in mint condition with 800 miles on it and for $100 I turned it into a 150cc go-getter with even some ergo mods.
1:10 an issue with starting on a 125 such as the Grom is that they need to ridden at full throttle to go normal speeds (depending on your weight, a Grom will max out somewhere in the 50s and at most 60, and there a multiple streets with 50 mph limits). So you end up developing habits that will be bad when you get on a bigger bike.
Stock exhaust sounds actually a lots louder than older Grom (MSX at my country), might be the best sounded Grom by far lol. It sounds very similar to my Asia-only 150cc Underbone bike Honda Winner X 150
I will get a Grom as my entry bike. Being 2 left handed, 43 & clumsy as f***, only rode a Piaggio Beverly 350, it's time to become a man 😄. Just wondering, ..I am 179cm tall, 78kg, will I fit comfortably? 🤔 I'm looking out for an Indian FXDR as my goal, and the Grom will help me to get there. Will keep it as a fun bike of course. Thx for your video mate. Appreciated. Wishes from Melbourne, Australia. Safe ride Everyone. 👊😎👍
I would love to see a head to head with a highly modded up Honda Grom vs a Ducati Streetfighter as an in town review. Hell I’ll loan you my streetfighter.
Psst. I bought a 2021 KP Mini 150 from venom motorsport for $2300 delivered to my door.. In 11 months ive put $500 in mods and 10,500 miles with no issues at all. 5 speed, 150cc and 98mph. It's so much fun. And I've owned bikes 10x this size haha 😄
I live in wv and I have a 2020 honda monkey Ive gone up the mountain in 3rd gear and she will do 40mph up it and I weigh 240 lbs. Flats I can see 55 56 mph
It needs to be at least 175cc's. full throttle just to do city limits at all times. Needs to be able to do city & freeway speeds without having to ring it's neck 100% of the time
these Mini Moto's that Honda offer ...Are GREAT! With The ever Increasing 'Fuel Prices'. ( up to $8.Gallon!! )....Daily City Commuting to 'Work' ( through Late Spring - Fall Season )....is IDEAL!!!.....FUN to 'customize' TOO! Cheers from Canada!
Looking at maybe picking one of these guys up as my daily driver, my 3rd motorcycle. I'm looking to save major dollar dollar bills for a little bit. I live it a small town area with no speed limits above 55. So this would be great simply for running to the bank, and grabbing lunch. It would cost me less to own and insure than just insurance alone on my car. My question is, anyone know what that rattling sound is? I've ridden a Grom sound a parkinglot once. I never heard that rattling. Only time I heard that rattling before wanting my last cruiser when the hose clamp loosened on the exhaust heat sheild. Anyone know if that rattling is something loose or if it's something that's supposed to rattle like that?? I don't trust manufacture recommended oil change intervals either. What do you guys think is the most appropriate oil change interval? I personally think since you ring these engines out and they probably take almost no oil, it would be better to change the oil way super often just to keep it clean and as fresh as possible in the inside of the engine, hopefully minimizing cylinder wall wear which I'm sure is what kills these bikes being at redline it's entire life. When do you guy who own these things change your oil and what lifespan do you expect out of the engine with your chosen oil change interval? I'd be extremely interested to know y'all's from expertise 🤌🤌🤌
in design terms that new grom is a proper horror show. it looks like its got bullet holes in it. so great you decide to change your fairings but when you put it back together it will still look like its been sprayed with a shotty.... i own a 2018 grom though i bought it to learn how to ride and i love it so much i ride it everyday
how crazy would it be to put a kick start on this?.. I mean, do people do that?.. is that a thing for new bikes in general?.. I will be a new rider and I like old style stuff, and a kickstart sure would be gnarly.
I love the idea of a Honda Grom. I DONT love the idea of a Honda Grom after stealership markup
I agree, been looking myself. Ill pay 3300......I won't pay 4200
yeh but , the oil filter
maybe all the cool kids will be ditching their old versions for the new ones and you can get a cheaper used one. the honda monkey at my stealership was only 1k more out the door than msrp

@Random-user Like what????
@Random-user I would take bikes over sex any day of the week or year of my life...
@Random-user Damn bro, that would be lit if I didn't hate sex in all it's existence with every fiber of my being, but I do, so yeah not for me...
@Random-user Ohhhhhhhh yes I do... I hate sex more than I hate terrorists!!!
@Random-user I hate sex more than I hate Biden!!!
I got my Super Cub over a year ago and 7000 miles later still love it so the Grom should be no different
Smaller wheel are more fun but I would prefer bigger for longer rides and awful roads in my country
Based supercub enjoyer
Did you get the valve clearances checked at 4000 miles as recommended in the manual? If so how much did it cost you.
yeah cross shopping them for sure
You can have more fun on a slower bike than a fast bike. Like a Miata, it’s slow yeah, but you’ll have the funnest drive.
Uh, no. I have many bikes and while little bikes are fun….. the fast bikes are by far the more fun.
Agreed. It's fun to hammer through the gears and listen to the motor, I don't really care about going stupid fast on 2 wheels.
I agree. I have a 2015 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and the 2015 650. I enjoy whipping the 650 more as I bang thru the gears. Also lighter and easier to maneuver.
Cuz it’s more fun to ride fast on a slow bike than to ride slow on a fast bike. I’ve never had so much fun just running errands in town

Manufacturer should start shipping these directly to consumers.
A good market to make some bang, and stop stealerships from their tricks.
They have big bore kits and if you change the sprockets you can get a higher top end. It won’t be a fighter jet but it will surprise a few people.
It wasn't mentioned, but my understanding is that Honda added the 5th gear to aid acceleration due to the new engine making slightly less power due to the new emissions requirements.
I heard it actually makes MORE due to increased compression. Fifth is more an overdrive gear, to keep RPM lower at top speed

powerful? Lol.
Iam 53 and I just love these little guy I have had bikes my hole life thinks it's time for a new Grom
Great video! I never knew of the Barber Motorsports Park & I saw it’s only 3 hours away from me. :) Definitely will be going there with my 2022.
Just got a yellow 2022 with 230 miles off marketplace for $2700 💛😁…and it came with the Amazon exhaust and bar end mirrors and quad lock phone mount
I love my grom 😂 on flat ground I can hit 64 with perfect conditions
How did I not know y’all had a tfl bike channel. Safe to say I’m a subscriber now
Great video. I was told by a motorist that I was too big for my Grom.

I have the Candy Blue 2022 ❤ I love it I too weight in at 160 - 165 and usual run flat out full pin

get something cheaper with more ccs so you can learn to ride everywhere and safely merge into traffic.

We rode Kawasaki Z 125 Pros for our motorcycle beginner course. They are very fun as well. Just keep in mind, if you are over 5' 10" you'll probably hit your knees with the handlebars before full lock.
That on the Z125, not the Grom.
I just got myself a 2022 grom in black i have more fun on it than when I had my gsxr 750
Nice but like all Hondas it's a bit expensive...at least you can recoup that in the resale hopefully.
That looked super fun! Really enjoyed the video thoroughly! Keep up the good work!
I have gotten 70mph on the stock last Gen grom but it was on flat ground and I weigh 125lbs
careful at those speeds a good gust of wind may rip you off the bike lol
Check your speedometer vs a GPS. Grom speedometers read considerably higher. Not unusual for a 10% difference at top speed.
Basically the same bike, different transmission, headlight and plastics. My hopped up 2016 MSX (Thailand) is my daily ride. I mothballed my other bikes. Change the sprockets depending if you want more top end or more get-up and go. Paid $800 for mine in mint condition with 800 miles on it and for $100 I turned it into a 150cc go-getter with even some ergo mods.

I got me a 250cc but man I respect the grom riders lol 🤘🏾
OMG! Just ordered mine today!!!
Im going to get one i will never be going above 60 around where i live so im fine i will e85 tune it if possible
Man I am really thinking about getting a grom and making it my daily ride to work.
Very good and informative video. That was a great review and that little machine looks like a lot of fun!
I own a og grom and loving it very much
You also get an oil filter and level window
here in Mexico you can get a Honda cb190r with the same HCR color scheme for under 2900 usd
ABS or no ABS? That is the question.
It does rain a lot in the Spring and Fall

Does it have passenger pegs? Thanks for the great review.
Groms have had passenger pegs, but the Monkey doesn't.
What ever happened to AEROMACI of Italy?
Put the bbk 190cc and you are golden.
It needs to be at least 175cc's. full throttle just to do city limits at all times. Needs to be able to do city & freeway speeds without having to ring it's neck 100% of the time
I agree, but unfortunately they’re going to keep it 125 for the European license restrictions, so teenagers can legally ride them.
I'm going to assume you haven't actually ridden a Grom. Pinning the throttle all the time is part of the fun
I’m only like 145 lbs imma be fast af boiii

I agree. I have an SF and I think they look 1000x better.
Is a grom worth it over a Honda Navi I really can’t decide
I got my Honda grom abs candy blue up 65 mph I'm 150 5.5 inches.
Seems about the same performance as Allan Millyard's 110 v2.
I might get this to commute to work at In N Out burgers lololol
I definitely got board with mine but they are fun.
I wd love to have a Honda Grom and I like to change the engine into a 250 XR or XLR on it the it will be wonderful bike
Never seen a gro m before but on my way to buy 1 now, looks fun
I'm terrible and shifting gears. is this grom forgiving?
Look like a big fuel tank, but is it mostly removable panelling?
Yep. Seems all bikes today are all plastic on the outside for 'styling'.
@@hazcat640 crazy! What's wrong with a bigger fuel tank? It can't add that much to the retail price.
Smaller bikes make smiles per gallon. 😊
What is the seat height on this new grom?
58.5 mph though. Add a tuck, a draft, and a slight down hill. I get readings of 78+ mph. Bone stock.
57 mph top speed of old model?
I got first gen with Yoshi exhaust and moded airbox.
Top speed 72mph!!!!
but why would Honda claim a top speed for modded bikes? Honda speedo's a way out also.
how crazy would it be to put a kick start on this?.. I mean, do people do that?.. is that a thing for new bikes in general?.. I will be a new rider and I like old style stuff, and a kickstart sure would be gnarly.
Try a Yamaha SR400.
U can drive in the freeway?
