Honda Grom in the city - Is it the perfect commuter bike !!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июн 2016
- Meeting first thing in town, forecast to rain, decide to take the Grom, she is a very good commuter, give it an extra 5 BHP and she would be perfect.
Lots of info, pictures, etc.. on my website, Facebook, Instagram & Twitter:

Traffic and Rain are always guaranteed.
RJ. What do you think Leave or Remain in the EU? Or do you want to remain neutral?
I despise politics and politicians.
yeah, doesn't matter the country, they're all greedy assholes that only care about themselves :/
rj,can you do a video about ruckus
Love the small bar width bikes.. makes filtering so easy. Mines about 26inchs, so many gaps that is before the handlebar shuffle.
I agree, I wish Honda would bring out a 150 or 175cc version, this it would be the perfect commuter. It is also good for poorer parts of the world with poor roads as it has maneuverability to ride around potholes and obstacles. And of course the fuel efficiency is excellent.
Your comment has lasted for 7 years and I confirm now it has become true. Especially in Asia, 150cc are common and better than 125cc in terms of performance.
That’s been accomplished with the XR150, but at the expense of an additional 60lbs.
@@yourwifesboyfriend6081 XR150 is just a quite a little bit of bigger bore and bigger wheel of the CRF125F. Just get an XR190L and it is better anyway.
Love how it revs high and fits through traffic well
I always thought if they did a Grom 250 it'd be amazeballs
This is why I love my Grom, fits everywhere and it's a blast to ride.
yeah it has little power but in trafic you cant go fast anyway
I just watch how well you're driving in traffic !
Respect from Hungary!!
RIding in the rain is so fun, I love that sound and fill that the rain gives on my helmet :3
Love my grom. Just got it and have no regrets. People love it as well.
Oh my, this bike sounds exactly like the 125cc pitbike with Honda engine I had as a child.
Thanks for the goosebumps good Sir.
It’s base on the Monkey albeit one of a few Honda did as a modern take, so chances are your pit bike and this are most likely related lol
I love the aggressive no courtesy way of riding rj has adopted so cool
you're the master of filtering RJ. I like that so much
That was the day in London last week when the M3 became a river. Forget keeping dry, having rain coming through the inside of your visor adds a new dimension to survival.
Dang it, RJ makes it look so easy to surf among the heavy traffic in those tight streets. The streets in my country are wider but shorter so it's a hassle trying to pass a couple of cars just so you have to slow down right after to watch out for incoming traffic around the corner
No matter what Bike, you are the "Filter King". There sure are a lot of very narrow streets there. Thanks for the video.
I love the Grom! my next bike :D ! Again a great Video!
Man, now i just want to take a week or two and ride a Grom around London. Great video man.
loved that last part on the bridge clear road :D
I don't know why but this is really satisfying
Another awesome video
Streets of England are the most joy to ride through... when the weather is nice :)
that sound. love it
I agree with you RJ just watching you ride it you can tell it would benefit from that bit more power to get you out of sticky spots that bit quicker.
Also nice example of the black art that is filtering.
You're an animal on that thing! I need to get mirrors like yours so I can split lanes easier ...I've got the bar-end mirrors & they add like 4" to each side!
You zoomed past me yesterday on your Grom.. man that thing is loud, your video's Audio does it no justice.. or maybe it's my speakers... anyway, love the videos man.. fingers crossed I spot myself on one of your Video's one of these days :)
You riding skills are impressive!
My man’s nice wit it
wonderful sound *-*
This little fooker sounds pretty damn good!
sounds soooo gooodddddd !!!!!!!!
I LOVED to ride on the rain with the Transalp and now even more with the Grom! It's so nice to feel the water... it's harder to ride because cars get 'rain' sickness and behave like dicks but other than corners, I drive almost like in the dry.
Nice rainy weather RJ , our winter is probably your summer here in Australia , the Grom maybe good in the city but when you went on the motorway she runs out of puff , :-)
Welcome to freezing wet Britain for 8 months of the year! Has a lovely note that Grom. :)
we got the new GROM driving in few weeks i can't wait ti check it out ill try to do a review or first thoughts vlog,
RJ, great video. Regards from Miami. I wish south florida has cities like Europe has, in order to drive small cc motorcycles. Here everything is highway and above 60mph. Anyways just want to salute all RJ and motorcycle fans.
@royaljordanian nice video man keep it up i like it!!!
świetnie dajesz filmy aby tak dalej spoko
2:10 Jimmy Dean: Big Bad John, surprised they listen to that stuff in England.
Grom?
Oh the msx!
Yeah that's one freaking small bike ahah!
I like it.
Damn man, the famous UK weather, rain and hail in middle june???
"Perfect" is maybe too much said, but she can certainly compete with the rest of the family. At last also some (!) footage of rain in London for those who asked. Thanks RJ.
be careful at 1:09 going in front of that truck if the lights change
Now that's what you call traffic, and I thought Dublin Ireland was bad :) always raining here too, summer my ass
Got to love our London weather :(
That's UK's Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring for ya. Pretty much all year round. Island climate sucks. Even though I live in the Netherlands, the city I live in is technically an island too. It's surroundes by rivers on all sides. And even here we have to deal with a partial island climate. It can be raining all around the island but be dry and sunny on the island and vice versa. Sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes it's a curse. But whatever we do, we never trust the weather reports here.
For inner city riding yeah, you don't need big bikes but get that towards an A/B road and motorway and does it not leave you wanting more? Like a WR250/450?
The Grom does look perfect for city commuting.
It fits easily in gaps that are tighter than a nun's nasty.
RJ, rain hail or shine :)
Would love to see you ride an mt-07 around town sometime.
You can get big bore kits for the grom like the finbro 235cc kit
I would love to see RJ ride a two stroke motorcycle.
am currently changing my gears based on how the bike sounds...if it sounds like the rev is too high, I shift up.
What gear is best in a 20 zone mph
is there some rattling or weird audio issue on this vid? Or do I need a new pair of headphones?
nice bike
stay safe brother
You once stated having feels for the Z's. Would you consider switching to the kawy side ? With the brand new Z125 Pro
i from malaysian, i like your superbike!
You certainly can cover the ground in London RJ.
that bike is the coolest
+RoyalJordanian why dont you press the clutch when you go upshift? isnt it bad for clutch?
People in the UK love german cars
Lewis Hamilton may be apart of that influence.
Germany builds luxurious cars and if you can afford London, you can afford these vehicles. You wouldn't believe how many Bentleys and RollsRoyces are driving in London. There are more Bentleys than small city cars. And there are a lot of Prius-cars. Sadly.
+eins whats so bad about a prius
Most Prius drivers are terrible.
I think people of the world love german cars...
It looks like a motorcycle just suitable for city use, especially in big cities, but what are its limits? For example a person's height as it affects? (for example, 180 cm)
2:31 that looks nice
i wish I could have your same bike RJ
Oh yes love the rain pffff
what are these people doing? U-turns in the middle of the road?
Any chance someone can tell me what these mirrors are called or where I can get them by any chance
RJ, are you The Stig's bike riding cousin!?
but RJ talks
User5220 Yeah true, but then again, he's probably not the shy one; also, cousins, not twins.
He's the black version of Stig
aaaah yes.... London in summer, aint she beautiful...
RJ, do you ever think your bike may be too loud? Do you use ear plugs while riding or doesn't it bothers you at all?
PASSED my MOD2 DAS today 1st time
Perfect Ride RJ I Injoyed the View what kind of tires you have on your Grobie to ride in the rain I still have the VRubbers on my grom are they safe to ride in the rain
How is it compared to an automatic scooter in extreme heavy traffic though?
And I thought traffic in Moscow is bad...
p.s. Love that sound!
Is all the filtering you do considered legal? (oncoming lanes etc)
What's the recording device you use to make your engine sound the way it does on youtube? Someone showed one in a video but I forgot. Makes a huge difference.
Its in one of his Q and A videos
Please explain the double clutch pull at 11:52ish after pulling away from the traffic lights
Just having fun with the gear change, not for any other purpose.
Sounded a bit like tarzan
can u imagine if you just casually pulled a wheelie? That would have been cool .
Hi RJ! Greetings from Sweden!
I was wondering if its a good starter bike? What do you think?
//Wille
Man I wish we could filter in Canada..
I don't think it matters what you're on mate. You can slice up traffic like a hot knife through butter on any cycle.
It still looked miserable weather and traffic in London is pants (even with +10 filtering boots that RJ has)
U are a professional lanSplitter
I miss the days of the BMW C1 being commonplace across London, they were very ahead of their time
Those things were ugly as hell. Also, ever seen somebody 'riding bitch' (back seat passenger) on a C1? Yeah it's even worse then.
What''s up with the display? (speedometer etc.)
I’ve just bought a grom literally this morning! What exhaust is this? Would love to order one for mine!!
that 1 cylinder sound :>
I'd like to see you test ride a Mt-09
If they decided to ban filtering what would you do?
Thank you for the ear massage :}
All grom needs is Aprillia RS125 de-restricted engine, would be fun.
why did you sell your grom?
What has happened to the dashboard?
I believe it is the perfect bike once upgraded - but the upgrades will cost as much if not more than the bike - wich makes it an very bad investment.
I still want one though 😆
Did you forget the "?" in the title?
Maybe you can increase the Groms ouput by 5 bhp if you put some rallye stripes on it and an open intercooler! ;)
Or put the S1000R's engine into the Grom!
why you not use the clutch? Greetings from Chile
a lot of people say that London is not a good city for living!
Ahhh I really really want to buy an msx. but don't know whether to go new or used and if I can afford the upkeep of my mt07 and a msx. I know I'll use the msx more as the weather is always pants and hate taking the mt out in it 😣😣
Hey what mirrors are they i need new ones for my grom . originals are poo
Nice, does your bike wares tires for rain ?
Hmm - what did you do to your speedo? It looks like it's 'turned off' or cencored, is it like that in real life?
In 'real life' it is normally visible. To prevent distraction by viewers it is edited afterwards.
hey RJ whats a funny story that happen while filtering ??? reason why im asking is at 0:14 all i can think of is you hitting the truck mirrors... god forbid lol
kick that clutch!!
RJ, what do you think about kawasaki z125 pro? Make a comparative test with honda grom
I don't think the Z125 is actually coming to the UK. But I might be wrong.
Hes the filter king...RJ ,how about another mini bike
