      Have fun and ride safe,leave the stupid stuff for the foolish.Just ride n ride n ride.Fun,fun,fun.Be sure to buy a sports exhaust system,works great.

    • @jakekelly7634
      @jakekelly7634 6 лет назад +1

      Heck yeah, already bought the Yoshimura R2 exhaust for it.

      awesome, I dumped a cool grand into new gear and mods the first week I bought it:)

    @xCanuckfan16x 6 лет назад +5

    Clocked 2500 km and still love the Grom. Think it's about the power though not enough for people but for me it's perfect. I don't group ride and mostly solo commute but it has gotten me to join a group and look for rides. I do find myself looking at buying another bike but no intention of selling as its just a fun bike

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад

      Exactly, it's the best 2nd bike you could own!

    • @danielmcgrath9369
      @danielmcgrath9369 6 лет назад

      Best mod is a stainless steel exhaust system by Sc Products.Adds more low end torque,go man,go have more fun.Buy another Grom yes,another bike,nahh...Ridn on,Ride safe.

  • @charlieTDP
    @charlieTDP 6 лет назад +9

    Just bought my grom last week! The cruise video you last did sold me on it. Its hard to take it to seriously but damnit its hilariously fun to be on.

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад

      as a second bike they are perfect!!! I'm so glad i helped in some way to make your decision, if you are in Florida be sure to search Facebook for all of the Florida groups.

  • @danielmcgrath9369
    @danielmcgrath9369 6 лет назад +1

    I got a nice Blue 2017 Grom.I love riding it,Sc Stainless low mount exhaust system give me loads more Bottom end torque.It keeps going up to 6500rpm really good.Pulling race changes I keep up with the 60+yo's around the city.The grom is working hard on the Hiway.Coloured leavers,coloured stand foot,blue Led lighting hidden and only used off road here in Australia.Great fun to play with and add mods for bit more zoom,zoom.Good bike Honda.

  • @80sruler
    @80sruler 6 лет назад

    Road mine for the 1st time today and put 15 miles on. I was thinking of changing the seat but it fits fine. I ordered an exhaust and a fender eliminator but probably won’t do much more with it

  • @averageguybodybuilding

  • @lagrangesix9836
    @lagrangesix9836 6 лет назад +4

    I'm a little suspicious about buying used stuff, motorcycles in particular, and Groms even more so. No telling how they have been abused doing wheelies, stop-o's, not to mention all the crashing.

      If you change the oil religiously, they will go for 30,000 miles.

  • @ShellShock794
    @ShellShock794 6 лет назад +1

    The problem is people that buy a Grom as their only bike. It's fun and everything but that novelty can wear off very quickly if you don't also have a real bike to take on the freeway/pass some cars

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад

      yah I think people should buy a used bike and then get the grom or the other way around.

  • @jacspring7729

      the truth man! These are great little toy bikes.

  • @mrvwbug4423
    @mrvwbug4423 6 лет назад +1

    Groms have their use, mostly as a stunt bike or play bike. Most people I know who actually keep Groms are stunters (the Grom is an insanely good stunt bike).

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад

      half of the grom riders at the 904 grom day last weekend were stunters!

  • @Spartan375X
    @Spartan375X 6 лет назад +1

    I am really considering getting a Grom, hopefully by this summer. I've been looking into getting one for a few years and test rode once last year and again over the weekend. I even brought my camera during this test ride to have like a motivational like goal, kind of like the poster of a kitten hanging onto a branch.

    • @Spartan375X
      @Spartan375X 6 лет назад

      Also subscribed, I saw some of your videos a while back when I was doing some research for the Grom.

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад +1

      Feel free to ask any question, I will always do my best to help my subs! Used will save you a few thousand for sure but I am seeing some killer deals on the Honda Grom Facebook groups right now for 2018's if you can buy one now, talks like 3199 out the door.

    @petebusch9069 6 лет назад +1

    Groms are more of a really cool scooter that an actual bike, that's what makes them cool and suck at the same time. If you compare this to an actual bike you may be disappointed, its a fun toy.

    • @NicheRiding

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад +2

      The mirrors are "Neverlandback" mirrors, you can buy them off of Ebay. I have the exact link in my mirror install video, the mirrors in that video are the old ones but in the info below is the exact link to the new ones I bought! I hope you get a Grom soon:)

  • @jdogg661420
    @jdogg661420 6 лет назад

    good idea bro i got mine used with1700 miles for 2k with a decent amount of mods on it. i posted a vid if you want to check it out. its a 2014 and i still love it. i already doubled his miles and more within the 5 months ive had it lol. i offered him 2k an he said ok right away i should have tried lower.. he had two though so that might have helped also. ps. i use it as my daily in the city i live in. and it saves me lots of time in the morning splitting lanes when all the soccer moms trying give their kids a ride to school ..i work local though so it works out. though ive taken it to the valley here and we have a lot of side streets and old highways in california so i can pretty much take it anywhere. im at over 6k miles now.

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад

      They are truly all around bikes until you need the speed for the long distance runs or long highway runs!

  • @kaiobikeg8749
    @kaiobikeg8749 6 лет назад

    I was wondering this same thing. Got a Grom Facebook group here in Lafayette, Louisiana. I just bought myself a 2017 Grom brand new and now everyone in the groups have their groms for sale. Like why? On top of that they are asking $2500 for a 2014. That’s almost what I paid for mine. Lol

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад

      ridiculous huh? I mean yes they hold their value much better than the Kawasaki Z125 but wow that is a great resale. I say offer less and see what happens. I wanted this bright yellow and no other color so I had to go new.

    • @danielmcgrath9369
      @danielmcgrath9369 6 лет назад

  • @blueweb00
    @blueweb00 6 лет назад

    Why did you go to the dealership at only 1,500 miles, when the manual says to go in next is 2,500 miles after the 600 miles mark?

    • @NicheRiding
      @NicheRiding  6 лет назад

      valves say 1k miles last I checked. At 600 miles I only did the oil change so this was its first valve adjustment.

  • @jdogg661420
    @jdogg661420 4 года назад

    two reason they sell i would say cover probably 95% of riders... first is the standard.. they use it as first bike to learn to ride then move on up the ccs.. since there hasn't been mini bikes for awhile. the grom is the new one but more or less its most 250s you see on craigslist.. 2nd is the fad chaser. they don't really know what the grom is about they see it think its cool and buy it and for some reason it doesn't fit their needs.. I bought a used one with 1700 miles on it a couple years ago and I have 20600+ miles on it now.

  • @texicano_fxdls3411

    My chinese TT250 would dust that grom. I got to 67 in full tuck GOING UP A STEEP HILL. It'd prolly do 70 easy on a flat. I couldn't ride a grom, I'd just look like a man riding a goat.
