  • I purchased a new 2024 Honda Grom to take with me on my Skoolie Adventures. I had a hitch added to my bus just for this.

    I've been loving my 23 Grom and hope you love yours too, they are pretty fun. I got the full Yoshimura exhaust on mine and it is louder than I thought it was gonna be, its like a mini Harley. I met another grom rider in my city, a cool old guy said he has a 22 with the full yoshi and a intake and his will do 70mph . I can still only get mine up to 60, maybe a little more if I went on a longer road. Its a law in my(MN) state, that if no other cars are around in any direction, and you have waited a long time you can just go because you wont trigger it.

      O really? I should see if Florida has any law like that. It seems that once you do an aftermarket exhaust, intake, and then an ECU reflash is when you see the big performance bump.

    • @9-5Adventures

      It is called the dead red law and unfortunately Florida does not have it :(

    Touring around in various parts of American cities is nice but it would be better if you folks would add in what it looks like when you are sitting on a bike such as the GROM. That would give us viewers a look at how we might fit on a mini-moto.

    The Grom and the Kawasaki Z125 are made to be light, fun, bike to ride. I had a 2019 Z125 and loved to ride it. You can throw them around so easy. I currently have three motorcycles which brings me up twenty bikes in my short life of 3/4 of a century years old. My last bike is a 2023 Hayabusa that I regard as one of my favor. That said, I plan to add a Grom to garage this year.

I also love the ride along video. I hope you're still enjoying it 7 months in! These and the Monkey are such economical and wonderful little machines.

    Was gonna get a current gen Grom as a second bike, but will NEVER pay nearly double the MSRP because of taxes and stealership fees! I still thoroughly enjoy the 2014 Ninja 300 that I bought for $4200 with only 2k miles when purchased. Since then it's got nearly 20k miles, seen multiple states, averaged almost 70mpg (has gotten up to 81mpg), and has experienced 120mph several times. 0-60 in 4.5 isn't bad for a slightly-modded lawnmower sized engine! As much as I want the Grom, paying more for a 10hp bike than a 47hp bike is insanity! I'll have to find a used '22 or newer after the crazy market calms down. Sad, I hate buying people's used, oil-starved wheelie practice drop-drop machines! You seem like a great person, and I hope you enjoy your cute li'l Gromlin!

      You don't buy and rate a bikes value by the horsepower you don't do it with a car either there's all kind of people that have bikes with 150 to 200 plus horsepower that have groms in their garage too, some people try to use and rate bikes for something they were never designed to do

    • @jeladsnikpoh1289
      @jeladsnikpoh1289 8 месяцев назад

      @@billwaller4094Friend, I partially agree, and I still like the Gromlin. But as great as it is, horsepower still costs money. A new 200hp monster always costs more to build and buy than a new 47hp machine, likewise a 47hp pint-sized bike compared to a Grom. Nothing is EVER worth more than MSRP to me, but especially something under 10hp where MSRP is already excessive compared to the cost to manufacture. They can only charge this much because people are foolish enough to pay more than it's worth- due to all the internet hype! I just purchased a black heater for $60 less than an EXACT SAME red one- because the red one is pumped-up and rated so highly on internet reviews! Black matches my Forest Green house better, I would've chosen it over red if even at the same price. I'll buy Grom when all the hype dies down, it'll still be the same great bike for $thousands less. Still Friends!? 😁

  • @DarrinR.-pq8md
    @DarrinR.-pq8md Год назад +18

    The bike was designed for skinny Japanese people and kids under 20 yrs old. They do make longer mirrors. Changing gears will increase speed yet slower off the start. Flash the ECU, and you'll gain 15 horsepower. Air intake and pipe maybe 2-4 horsepower gain. Lose 30 pounds and ride naked smearing your body with lard will decrease wind resistance and increase terminal speed.

    • @billwaller4094
      @billwaller4094 8 месяцев назад +12

      You should have tried spreading some lard on the top of your brain when you were in school if everybody thought like you did, they would say you need a three-wheeler with a crash cage all the way around it and flashing the ECU is not going to get you 15 horsepower All these internet experts crack me up

    I purchased a 2023 in May and have already put a thousand miles on it as of yesterday. I put a Chimera intake, Istunt Amazon exhaust and an ECU tune from DHM motoring and can do 70 comfortably all day long. I am 5'7" and 140lbs. This is my first bike and there is honestly nothing better to learn on or just piddle around town. Stock Veerubbers are terrible and I want to slap some Michelin City Grip 2's on or Pirelli Angels, not sure yet.

      a batch of 22 groms/monkeys. Although this occurs after running in 5th gear for
      20 minutes or so, the issue was second gear rubbing against the countershaft and
      heating up to failure. They replaced the following under warranty.
      23221K26G00 - Countershaft, 23441K26G00 - Gear (32T), 23415K26G00 - Bush (17MM),

      Gasket Kit B, and element/oil filter. They mentioned this would be a $700 fix if
      not under warranty. I hope this helps."

      Ya mine did the same. I added a few small washers to bring it out away from the throttle. It will make the mirror able to wander a bit but it at least won’t move with the throttle. I am going to try some lock washers as spacers soon to see if I can prevent the slight movement. (Only moves with some pressure)

      Yeah but there’s pluses on a GROM that some people prefer. Maintenance being one. Grom’s ridiculously cheap to maintain. They’re air-cooled so there’s no cooling related maintenance which is HUGE on bikes. So if you just have a bike to cruise around and not take on trips, a GROM is a huge plus, when it comes to saving money in the long run.
