Had a Grom (Gen 2) and own a yellow Monkey which I’ve put on Ohlins, Yoshi, shorty levers and a dart screen. Love it. And have a new 2022 black Grom arriving soon too. Love the small bore…mini bikes are so cool and so much fun. Grom has the benefit of being able to have a pillion. Also own “bigger” bikes, a Husky Vitpilen 701, 1993 Suzuki RGV 250, Vespa 300 HPE and an Italjet Dragster 180cc. Enjoy them all for what they are…get what works for you, but Honda reign supreme with this little bikes 👍
Wow, lovely area. So green. Here in B.C. in the part I'm in, green is in short supply in summer. For some reason I'm attracted to Groms. Saw some in the dealer's this morning. Just need some cash to burn! That's in short supply as well, as I just purchased a CRF300L. Thanks for the scenic ride :-)
They’re finally releasing the monkey bike in Canada, VI Honda called me and told me after being on a list for almost two years,can’t wait to see it in person.
Should’ve went to Look Rock tower on the south side of the Foothills Parkway at sundown for the most amazing view!!! No matter, the Parkway has awesome views at each turn!
The monkey is a lot cooler bike and it it way better quality. That's why it is more expensive. I guess you don't know too much about motor bikes. That's OK the country side was nice.
The monkey has a much more "quality" feel then the grom. Monkeys are faster then groms on the top end. Monkeys are way more comfortable then a grom. I think alexis just has monkey envy and wanted to hate on the bike. I would think alexis who doesn't look to have any butt on her would love the plush, comfy monkey seat over the hard plasticky lookin grom garbage seat. monkey > grom
great review,,, I test rode a z125 monkey and found it more relaxed to ride like a layed back cruiser so I could shortshift and keep the revs low whereas the grom demands full throttle everywhere and revved hard,,, I also found the quality felt Chinese build quality yet build quality looks fantastic so I did expect smoother, the grom definitely wins on that side for me. ps. you're so lucky to live in America,,,, UK is sooooooo borrrrrring. 🥱

never knew tennessee was so scenic, looks like a nice place to ride.
Ridden both. Prefer Monkey. But that's just me.
it does not feel cheap
at all
Wow, That view is somethin else.
The thumbnail?
Pretty cool guys. Awesome trip and video.. NO little bikes were harmed in the making of this video!! :)
Great video 😎 was the last time we had a Alexis own video on the KTM 390!
"Redeee? YAYYYY! I'M ON THE MONKEEEEEE!" LOL made me laugh 😅.
I really hope to get to ride those roads someday! Incredible...
“I keep smelling ex-girlfriend“ 😂😂😂
Nice video! I have a Z125 but still want a monkey just to have a monkey haha i think they look dope.
she"s getting on my nerves
Gdmornin guys,WESTERN Australia!
Good morning from Victoria, Melton loving 300l but grom or monkey is next
...that ends the old quandary

@@Whateva67 Awesome:-)
I went for 300l also but in Australia I don’t think as cheap as in America
@@jamesgeorgevellavella1961 Nice bike though, except for the shock that is!

BRUH NUMBER ONE RULE, AND YOU MISSED IT. wave to the other bikers lol
Y'all havin too much fun.
Great review lex!
no way, worst review ever. she must have been on a different bike then a monkey, because she was off on everything lol
I think the Monkey is more of a mini bike ,and the Grom is more of a small motorcycle.
How tall are you? I’m trying to see if I would be able to touch the ground while sitting on it
@@jamesb.armstrong5433 oh ok so if a bike is too tall I can just shorten it. Thanks !
30i ches tall at the seat
Great review. I learnt a big fat zero. Good job
Same
Hi Tanner which one is better between Grom 4 speed or 5 speed? (I am looking to buy the 2022 grom) thank you.
5spd
That voice is grating
lol the eagle and the mario kart staging noise
bummer we don't get to meet Alexis........
Hate some American voices - screechy
She probably doesn't like the Honda Monkey because it has class compared to the Grom.
Where are you from?
@@jordanwhited9248 England but live in Thailand.
It's not an American issue mate. She's a bit pitchy but there are great reviews channels based state side.

Oh she hated for sure Monkey is alot better then a pos grom
Did you guys yell at a bicyclist at 04:48? SMH
It did seem so. SMH too.
hmm strange the Grom kind of look like a Scooter, but the Monkey feels like a Scooter but look like a real motorbike in mini size, good to know :D
I thought Lex was gonna fight a monkey....darn it :)
If I had a bad monkey, I’d prolly spank it
🔥🔥
Take it on the dirt
Comfortable but cheap feel, right? But look at that view.
It's great on the twisties
Too fast on those wet roads :(

It's funny I was telling you guys the same thing, I would love to ride your countryside for a change
👍
Monkey is better. I had one then a lady hit me so now it’s it total and it makes me sad.
Insurance cover it?
@@Partnerthedog yeah then just bought another one
Imagine dying on that monkey lol
Hope you are okay though 👍
@@sprechendemulltonne5051 oh yeah were good, got a new one after that lol
@@millzwood2399 did you get a 2022?

The 2022 grom probably is 🤷♂️
Hey
Hey
Hi Alexis
Hello!! 👋🏻
Hol up-
Hey
Cheap my ass its over 5 grand for a monkey
That sound is so fkn annoying and awful. And the bike doesnt sound good either
She’s annoying af
booooooring!!!!!!!!!!!
Do I see wet pavement?
You are correct!
It a scooter..
A street legal souped up xr50 is not a scooter.
@@2stroke4ever1987 who said anything about street legal? It a scooter.
No it isn't lol
Only relation to a scooter is the tire size. Which was a smart move by Honda.
@@2stroke4ever1987 scooter scooter scooter.
