Looks an absolute hoot ,I find these small capacity bikes with the cub type engines always put a smile on my face . You cannot feel miserable riding one ,it doesn’t matter if you look ridiculous as no body knows who you are with a full face helmet on anyway 👍.

A great review as usual. I restored a 125 for my son's partner and rediscovered that you don't need a big bike to enjoy motorcycling, they are a lot of fun. These bikes prove this

It annoys me when manufacturers don't make use of the allowed 15hp for 125s in the uk

Me and my Mrs have these bikes on GC where we go around the island. We love them and have done 8000 km there without any problem. The Grom have also opened my eyes for a smaller capacity bike back home here in Sweden. I recently saw your review of Triumph 400. A fantastic bike. Thank you for your Nice reviews! Keep up with them 😀👌💪🏼 Cheers

Nice to seeing you warming to the delights of the Mini bikes as you've progressed through them Andy, I had guessed the Grom would be your favourite, as to the small wheels that is the best part and what sets them apart from other motorcycles, the lively nature that brings is where the joy comes from, in much the same way a classic Mini drives compared to modern cars.

i bought this bike 4 month ago, pimped it a little bit. so much fun riding in town. have same color as yours.

Got the exact same one with a black widow exhaust .Great little bike handles like a Bmx through traffic .

Another great review... this is why I watch your channel. Appreciate that you bring the same level of professionalism to every episode. My garage looks a lot like yours, and I normally wouldn't have interest in these mini-bikes, but after hearing the enthusiasm you genuinely have for these bikes, now I'm thinking I might be able to squeeze in a Grom or maybe the Monkey bike :). Thank you for what you do.

That colour scheme really suits the Grom, and I like that there's a proper dash on this 125. Honda are knocking it out of the park with their selection of 125cc fun bikes. Surely it's only a matter of time before we see the CT125 on our shores.

I see what you mean about a new bike - the knobbly bits were still on the tyres as well as the multi-coloured paint rings. And yet again you have also shown us that you don’t need buckets of money or mahoosive amounts of power to have fun. Great stuff.

Great review ! I’ve had mine for just over a year now and every mile produces a smile !! 😃

Great stuff Andy ! Don’t forget the C125 Super Cub to complete the Honda mini bike review set.😉👍

I own the Benelli Tornado 125 converted to a mini scrambler, which just makes me laugh when I ride it. I genuinely love these mini bikes and I am teaching my wife to ride on it. Unfortunately I wish I had bought the Honda Grom because of the quality of the dealers, and I would recommend anyone looking at these bikes to buy the Grom. Its worth the difference.

Nice review Andy. Thanks for the last bit of information at the end too. It really was a nice day for a ride and great location for the walk around.

Absolutely loving all these mini Honda reviews, thank you for doing them!! I’d defo recommend trying the super cub 125, bit of a wild card , but with bigger wheels they handle like a dream, loads of fun

I had a grom and loved it to the tune of £2000 worth of custom bits that made it go 2mph faster😂. WARNING these things can eat cash😂 Great fun though, you will laugh out loud on one😎

perfect bike for us older guys!

A bit of trivia: in the parlance of surfers, snowboarders and skateboarders a "Grom" is a youth (usually under the age of 15) that is an enthusiast of surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, etc. which may explain Honda's naming strategy. As an adult, I'd rock a Honda Grom.

Great review, thank you sir. I was tossing up between Honda's CB125F or the Grom for my commute to work, and after seeing this I'm opting for the Grom. I'll hopefully pass my test next week :D

Brilliant Andy,the Grom is definitely the one I would have out of the three you’ve tested.

Really liked this one, chilled bike and, more importantly, some sunshine and blue skies!

I really want a grom. They always look so fun to ride. I just sold my Yamaha xj6 because of things in my life, so no motorbike at the moment, but if I were to get a motorbike, I would definitely consider one of these. Yes I could go with something more powerful and that has a bigger engine, but these just look so fun. I would love to have one in the future as I do only need to do short trips to work and back, but I need some form of transportation as buses don’t run where I live as I live in countryside. But I have a car as well at the moment and the motorbike was costing more than the car due to my age and recently passing my motorcycle test. Can’t wait for the day I can own one of these motorbikes.

Great video. Saw one of these at a Honda dealer a couple of weeks ago and it just drew me to it. ( Got to discuss with the wife). Love it if you could an "old bike" video on a ZZR1100.

“Who doesn’t like a Honda Grom?” It was you two years ago😂 I’m soo glad you’ve taken the plunge, ridden one and seen how fun they are. There are fewer things more enjoyable than you and a bunch of mates all out on Groms #gromsquad!

Nice review as usual TMF. Probably the best of the mini bikes & definitely my favourite.

Nicely done TMF. I think as a full licence or A2 licence holder I'd rather have the RE Hunter 350 for essentially the same price. Thanks as always.

The Grom ( MSX125) is very popular with the young, as a proper motorbike, in Thailand where it costs 70,000 baht = £1,630 on the road.

I cannot believe they’re nearly 10 years old lol. I started riding 8 years ago and these were the bikes used in the school I learnt at. I can’t say the on road section of the training inspired me to get a 125 for my first bike as my school was on a 100km road so that first experience sticking to the side at 78kmh getting passed by traffic going 110 wasn’t exactly confidence inspiring! But I do remember them being a lot of fun on the closed course sections of the training!

Grom looks the best of the 3 little bikes another great vid Andy keep up the great vids

Funny that they still have the same signal lamps that was on my 2014 Grom. I was going to buy a CT125 but the Grom makes more sense. Lighter, shift indicator, bigger fuel tank, aftermarket parts. Just going to buy new chain adjusters, top case rack, big block tires, miroirs and yes change those blinkers 😅

Thanks, nice job! These bikes seem to have a cult following. There are tons of aftermarket bits and pieces available for these little guys as well.

Just did my 6th CBT on one of these. At first I was like omg what is this a joke. Out on the road the light weight about 100kg is definitely noticeable, like not carrying a 25 liter water container around permanently. I was actually very impressed with it. Has abs on the front too. If space was a concern then this would be ideal, like a 50cc scooter size motorcycle. 😎👍

Hi Andy , we’ll I told you it the best road bike , monkey very close and benelli tnt aren’t bad either , you and mrs flyer in a pair of groms , perfect fun 🏍🏍👍👍

All agreed. Great motorcycle for its intended use. In the mountains of my home all smiles. There are some rear racks available for small carry along and tank bag. Not a big touring rig but if one wanted to go moto camping. that option is available

Great first ride review. Speaking your mind, you said right away that it's your favorite of Honda's Mini lineup. I have ridden the other Hondas, plus the Cub, but never the Grom. I look forward to your summation video and comparison insights.

I'd love to have one of these 125s for poking around town. If only I had space for storage. Great first look, as ever.

Just the Cub to go....😍

Great review on the 'fun loving' Grom, in the colour scheme I would pick.

Great Video as usual. I did consider one of these ,as you rightly pointed out ideal for the motorhome. However i decided that me and the Mrs looked a bit silly together on it. Btw, RAF Wycombe ( strategic command now) was Bomber Command in WW2, Bomber Harris used to lodge at West Wycombe house and drive his Bently up to Bomber Command in under 10 minutes (i read). He used to try and beat his record occasionally. Then it became Strike Command, i like you, live not far from it and it will be a target for any WW3. Hopefully i will be vapourised immediatley and know nothing about it.

Knew that looked familiar. My Dad was attached to NATO there when I was a kid. Love the review as well.

The training school I went to had several of those. They were very popular with the other students, I didn’t get much opportunity to ride one.

It’s such a shame Honda didn’t introduce the CT125 into their lineup. I feel sure it would wipe the floor in sales over the 3 bikes you’ve tested. However great reviews Andy.

Grom looks the best of the bunch.

10:55 A wing flapping Hawker Hurricane? Now I know why so many air combat simulations got their Hurricane Mk. Is wrong: They modelled their virtual ones after this rather sick looking specimen. 😊

Only suited for small rides and commuting imho. Small wheels so every pothole is a danger. No luggage capacity. No weather protection at all. Single cylinder so you have to rev it to get a bit of power. It looks cute though. 350cc is the lower limit for me because you get a normal sized bike to sit on.

Shame you didn't get to test the Cub. The most practical of the 4.

Great review, I knew you would like that one. :)

Thinking of getting one of these as a space saver bike, moved to a new house and don't have a garage or space for my bike one. But a Grom fits into a Keter storage bin!!! Do you think it would satisfy someone coming from a 600cc?

Monkey and Dax re unique. Groms are for. kids.wiith ASBO. .For adults, Pointless - If you want a street naked , buy a proper one. Monkey and Dax though , are different class. They are genuinely classic, looking, fantastic, to ride and not mini versions of anything. If you are 17, Grom it. If not, get the Monkey or Dax. Way cooler 😂

some after market company should make a "convert your honda to have the horn / indicators switches in the CORRECT positions" mod. As for the Grom, I guess I'm glad it exists. Not everyone is 5 foot 11 inches or taller. For me, at 5'11", I just find mini bikes too cramped. When I was a learner, I did also find that fuller size 125cc bikes are really underpowered for 16 1/2 stone fatties like me ! Something like a 350cc Hunter would have probably been fine, I reckon I could have been trusted with one of those as a Learner bike, but well that's not "Da RuleZ" !!

So sad our youth today don’t have the chance to ride these bikes.

It would be great if Honda put a 250cc engine in. It would be an absolute hoot.

Looks like a great bike for around town or a computer. Might be difficult for a taller rider I agree. I just watched Teapot One crew weekend on Isle of man. Great fun. Isle of man looks like a smashing ride.

As a person who is 165 cm high (about 5ft 5inches and a bit), I giggle when I hear you say you are small-medium size. LOL!

Looks great fun TMF ,unfortunately I'm in the Chopsy camp 6ft 3 so would look ridiculous on the wee bikes 🙁 mores the pity !! Great review as per usual .👍😁

Not too sure if the C125 Super Cub, with it's 17" wheels qualifies as a 'Mini Bike' but if you think so, and would like to complete the set, I have one, and only live about 3 - 4 miles from you. So, if you want to give it a go, let me know and you can ride mine.

What a lovely little bike IMO definitely the nicest of the mini bikes, if it had another 5 or 6bhp I'd be very tempted to get one as a town bike but the 9bhp seems a wee bit anaemic for A roads, nevertheless very well made and seems a bargain.

Great review thanks Andy would be my choice out of the Honda 125 would improve my riding skills. Don’t know how these smalls wheels handle but I am sure you get use to them.

Love the wee Grom and for a shorter gentleman like myself the perfect size for getting out and about. Where did you get the GoPro mount from on front of bike? Great video keep it up.👍

I’m 5’2 and weigh about 44kg. I’ve been thinking about getting a bike, and I think a grom as my first would be good but I’m not the biggest fan of the wheels; and it might not be a great idea for the long run. Does anyone know any bikes that are similar in size with the grom?

Great little bike looks good quality is it comfortable being such a small machine great vid by the way

That amazing little engine can be traced right back to the 1960s in various bikes from the c70 to ss50 mopeds and various 125s. I wonder if Honda even know how many have been made? Amazing to think they also make the mighty Gold Wing and my Deauville for that matter.

Hi TMF, lovely review! I've loved the groms (well the idea of one) for years. Finally decided to get my license and trying to find a first bike to learn on. I know you touched on it briefly but i'd like to hear a few more of your thoughts if you wouldn't mind. I've just done my CBT and looking for a 125 to get a bit more experience between lessons. I'm 29 so I will be going for my full license in the coming months, all going well. I'm 5'11 and around 11stone. My only concern is if I have a Grom to learn on in between lessons and tests, do you think that would be too much of a difference in size/weight/handling etc. when I do go for my tests on the bigger bikes and also when I eventually come to buy a bigger bike? Any input is really appreciated, cheers!

How can this be a grom review, not a single wheelie or any hooliganism was shown. 😄😉

Thanks Mr. Flyer. What a great little bike, definitely my favorite of the three "minis" especially the colour option you chose here. How would you compare this (and the other two) to a "normal" 125cc such as the Suzuki that Mrs. Flyer rides for example?

Hi.. i saw this video so i thought that i should ask you to give me a suggestion. I am a female, weight 51 kg, height 5'2.5". yesterday i learned how to ride a manual bike on CB125F. I was easily handled that bike and i pushed a little too. The weight of this bike is 117 kg. One of the man suggested that i should buy a g310r which is 158 kg but the seat height is not bad for me. The other option he mentioned is GSX S125. So Don't you think that these above mentioned bikes will be difficult for me to pass my test? I am not very strong. I heard that in bikes tests,examiner will ask me to push the bikes without sitting on it. The seat height should be 30 to 31 inches according to my height. Please suggest something. 🙏

Have to disagree about the looks Andy esp with that tank echoing the headlight. The plethora of choices for bikes these days is getting towards the problems with choosing paint colours or kitchen styles??? Maybe I'm just old.

Wasted to much time on space command and planes came here for the bike tat tat... Good review till that part.. I've got a z650 but only use it back forth work wondering if this could do over 120 miles journey each week about 26 a day...

Great review as always. What Rukka jacket are you wearing? Cheers.

Hello, thank you for the review. I had 2021 CB125F before, from pure fun perspektive, is the Grom nicer to ride than CB125F? Thank you! Greetings from Slovakia

I agree the allowed 15hp for 125s should be used for all 125s, it does make a massive difference, the grom and TNT are great looking but are not powerfull/Fast enough even for fun....

Hi Andy, yet another great review 👍 lovely little bike but not for me at 6'6'' love to have a go and be like a mini moto 🤣🤣👍🏍🏁

Beautiful mini bike. And beautiful countryside with a nice weather you're having. Cheers.

great review, while your on the mini bikes, have you considered the Benelli TnT125?

You've still got to review the honda trail 125, honda super cub 125, and kawasaki z125, then the mini bike series will be complete!

I'm about to buy my Minimoto next month, had a 2014 Grom back in 2014. Still not sure if I should go for the Grom or the Monkey. The Grom has a lot going for the price, the Monkey is the best looking of the two but it comes at a price. In Canada the Grom sell for 4,800$ and the Monkey goes for 6,130$. Is it worth the 1,300$ premium for the Style? What is your thoughts between both?

Looks great. Proper front mudguard too.

Can this bike support two people (driver/passenger)? How is gas consumption?

Power should be exactly the same on the 5speed Grom and Monkey. Not a fan of the new Grom looks. The first and second generation Grom's are way better looking

I live about 500 meters away from the spitfire and Hurricane at RAF High Wycombe. I agree with you that Bradenham is quintessentially British there’s some lovely walks that you and MRs flyer might enjoy. Or even the whole family if you’re a glutton for punishment. Your also welcome to all come round for a barbecue at our house. If you would like to.

Hey TMF! Looking good on those mini-bikes! When I first saw the photo, I thought the logo said Girl Power and that you'd turned all Woke!!

Come on Honda, why can we not get this gearbox in the C125 / CT125 ?

Unfortunately Politicians over many decades from all parties have ruined this country, so it`s great to see these gate gaurdians, even if they are fibreglass replica`s. Talking of Spitfires, any chance of you doing a flight in one of the twin seat Spits, or the Twin seat Hurricane?, that would make great video content. Great video Andy, i do like the Honda mini bikes, they seem such fun, but would make an excellent commuter bike.

Can the Grom comfortably do 50mph?

Always on indicators are dangerous. In sunny conditions someone might mistake those for indicating. Didn't think Honda wanted their riders to get into accidents.

Doesn't the s.p stand for single person? , Another great review 👍

Just wondering how the Grom handled the hill from Hughenden up to Naphill.

Looks a fun bike for a newby, light and basic. . Not sure I like the looks though a bit fisher price to my eyes. Do like a light bike though so accessible.

is the neautral still iffy when stoped

Riders should wear a high visibility jacket or vest. In traffic, something that small is almost invisible.

I'm curious , did Mrs. Flyer try this one?

What’s the seat like after say 20 miles

Took me no time at all to get use to honda indicators on my cb500x, but if I need the horn in a hurry I can't often find the damn thing with my thumb🤦

Looks good. Could you get a pillion on?

An electric version would be great instead of petrol

Does it take a lot of effort to have at least some 3rd party footage of the bike running to include in a review?

Have you tried the benelli TNT 125

Anyone know if at 6ft + 16 and a half stone I would I be too big to get away with riding one of these?

One of my lads purchased a Grom last year and he seems very pleased with it, he gets over 100 mpg on it. Interesting to see High Wickombe again as I did a security job their years ago when in the RAF. Frankly I wouldn't worry too much about the threat from Putin or Russia right now, if we had leaders/politicians who demonstrated a fraction of the common sense of that of the Russian government then we wouldn't have followed American foreign policy into so many unnecessary conflicts in the middle east or try and park NATO on the Russian border in Ukraine. No sadly we have much more to fear from the likes of Biden and Neo Cons who think diplomacy is a dirty word.

Hi, is 'Grom' an acronym for something groovy, or just it's birth 'nym' from Japan? If the latter, will they do one that belches out thick black smoke & call it the 'Gru'? Prob with small bikes is having to 'lock' them TO something else when parked up, their lightweight flickability makes them very tempting to the armpits of the criminal world too. Having a Rottweiler on the pillion may help, but good-luck getting your 'double-meat-feast' pizza home in one piece, if you did manage it, the dog would likely eat your bike : )
