I’ll be 50 next month! I took the state safety course and got my mc license with my youngest son. Buying the blue raspberry 2019 Grom tomorrow. I’m 5’2” and 118 lbs. It fits me perfect!!

Liability insurance? Haha with a bike like that if you hit someone all they will have to do is turn on their windshield wipers to scrape you off. Looks like a really fun bike

I'm 45 and 5'10, call it a mid life crisis, i want one

"Got multiple speeding tickets on my Grom" -no one ever

Good review, the reason I even got into groms is because of fooligan. I love this thing I wish I would have bought one like 4 years ago lol. Nothing but pure fun when riding it. I just hit 2000 miles last weekend, owned it since October.

Imagine just seeing a person on one of those going no hands to do hand gestures

"Motorcycles are dangerous" No. Only when you do sign language while riding one.

Great review. Really the point everyone has to understand is what is the purpose of buying a low cc bike. I got my 2017 grom brand new, a few months ago and I absolutely love it. I've not owned a bike before I bought my grom but I've experience riding 600cc sport bikes and 1200cc cruisers. And to be honest I was not looking for power, I was looking for something to get my mind off work and life in general. Many people told to get at least a 500-600 cc bike and that I would be bored fast with 125ccs. But I haven't got bored with it. I love the fact that I take it anywhere and not get in trouble with the cops lol. Groms are fun when you really love it and understand it is not all about power in a tiny bike.

You'll learn wheelies really quick if your not afraid to crash

I got mine new for under 4K. I also paid it in full. I also get 115 MPG on mine. So far I have paid for 1/8 of the bike in just gas saving vs driving my 03 ranger.

My son found a 2018 Grom at a garage sale for $500... Neglected, left outside, He replaced the fuel pump. Cleaned the tank with acid and gravel. Rewired all the after market lighting. and WOW! I find it to be a blast! And, I own a 2015 Honda VT1300CT Interstate! SON just bought a HONDA NAVI for his wife. I added a 2008 KYMCO People 200 to my collection so we can go out on country roads together. (I'm 72)

Its a honda, keep the air filter clean and at least change your oil and filter once a year and enjoy the ride. Enjoyed the review, you got yours looking good.

Your dead on about fooligan man. Everytime i watch his videos it just looks like every bit of fun that I'm missing in my life

The Grom is the BEST starter bike. You'll learn to work on it, you'll dump it, and you'll keep it forever because of how fun it is.

I personally like the deeper lower exhaust tones vs the screaming high pitched ones.👍🏼

im 5'7 and 140 lbs and i think this would be a perfect first bike for me!

LMAO trust me, going from a 1970 Chevy K20 and driving 60 miles total for a daily work drive (To and from added up), you do save enough money that makes the grom's gas mileage amazing. Imagine spending about $40 every two days on gas, versus $2 a week. Big difference. I work 4 days a week, so a total of $80 a week in my K20.

hi i'm new in you're channel and i'm from the Philippines... i really really wish i have that grom :D thanks for the review god bless

I’m almost 69 years old and have ridden my 2023 grom 6300 miles since August 29 th 2023 . It’s a blast ! I’ve ridden most of my life .

i feel like it’s a great first bike, i’m not looking to do 100mph or hit the track i use mine to go to work and cruise around town not hitting the highways on it or anything

can't wait to get mine!

Awesome video! Was looking at one today at the local dealer - still haven't decided if I'm gonna get one yet, but I liked how detailed you were with everything. It def. looks like it would be fun to tool around town on and stuff like that.

Took me about 30 seconds to realize you were riding right down the road from my house. Recommended by KZfaq for me to watch. Stopped to say hey and awesome review. I've been thinking about getting a Grom for a while, I think a Ruckus would be funny and a blast too though.

What is it with people, give them a go pro and suddenly they have the need to wave their hands around everywhere to talk despite being at the controls of a moving vehicle.

Holy shit, I knew exactly where you were after you went around that roundabout. I don't think I've ever seen anyone online from where I live lol

Cool video, but It's funny tho how he says $3,500 is too expensive than proceeds to put $500 shocks on

I to have followed the Honda Grom since they came out. I have no regrets buying mine. I keep it in my bedroom during the winter.

This is the best review of the Grom, I've seen. All that we need to know. Great, just great !

I personally feel that a 650cc bike as a first bike is a death sentence for most folks. I learned to ride, mopeds as a kid, then 50cc Honda's, 80cc, 125, 250, then jumped to 750cc when I had plenty of experience. I feel this would make a great first bike for anyone under 200lb and under 6ft tall. Good review though, thx for sharing. Peace.

Only 3k miles? I've had mine for a month and put 1100 miles on it

wow the road was amazing there is almost no traffic in the road !!! and people stopped in the crossing for no reason !! it's almost like rural areas with no people in it . You are lucky to ride on a road like this ... it would be a dream in my country ....

Spent $3,600 myself and did not have this amount of heartburn about it. I love the bike and feel it’s worth it.

Man, this was a great review. Really in depth and informative!

This is my dream bike! In Israel, it's called MSX 125. I wanna buy this!

have been looking into groms and this review was perfect👏🏼👏🏼 thanks man!!

Absolutely incredible review I am so happy I found your channel

Im definitely getting a grom for my first bike for city riding only since I have a car already.

Imagine if they did a full-fairing Grom Type RR lmao

Thank you so much for making this video and explaining this bike before watching this I already had my mind made up that I was going to get one now I feel like I know what I'm going to get with a Grom thank you sir

im 6'2 245 and got mine coming in the next 60 days. im so very excited! mines a 2020 with 0 miles. big anthony! your vids have helped me out and have been kind of an introductory course to street bikes for me, as this is my first.

Thank you so much for the information bro. Imm bout to buy one with 5k miles

Plain and simple: It's a Honda. You can beat any Honda down to the ground and it'll still run strong.

For me: This is a great review. It's real and it is coming from the perspective of a user. And to him, I want to say thanks! I stopped at roughly 8.5 mins which is much longer than I usually watch a video yet the person posting kept me involved. I will go with the Genuine Hooligan. But again, a really great and appreciated post.

I picked up a 2017 Sport model brand new in March for $2500. I paid cash. It was transferred to my local Honda dealer for free from a Honda dealer 200 miles away. I've only been riding it for about a month solid and I love this bike, but I'm also 5'6" 180lbs and don't travel outside of my city much.

Great review, Just swap out the stock tires with some michelin power pures sc and thank me later!

I would want comprehensive coverage on a motorcycle one person can carry off.

I have a 2017 Msx125 from new.Ok,I have being racing/riding for over thirty years.Ok,so the Grom has little Horsepower,but man the fun factor is full on.Mods,Polish and more Mods,its endless fun to see people look at my Grom and say,'Oh Wow,I love that little bike man"..They are fun,if you want fast,buy the 1000cc..and pay for it...Go fun,Go Grom.

Flickability, that is what a Grom is all about, Thanks for covering that.

I have no interest in a fast motorcycle. I want something so drive around on april-october that will cost me almost nothing after the initial purchase. I am debating between a ruckus or a grom. I do like the fact that with the ruckus i dont need a motorcycle license for it.

i really want a 750 but if Honda starts producing a 250 grom i'm getting it immediately!

I got mine half price off with 9000kms on it and a few extras (at the Honda official dealership) gonna go get it tomorrow

Finally a good review of ANYTHING! Everyone talks about the features of the bike, and the overall fun they have, but no one ever goes into detail like insurance, maintenance, reliability, as well as controls for those who don't know how to ride a bike. $6 a month is like a fucking Spotify Premium subscription, and I know it'll vary depending on the person, especially for new riders, but at least people can have a tiny bit of what to expect for insurance cost... I pretty much wanted a Grom just to thrash around without worrying about destroying a bike, or not being able to recover/pick it up fairly easy.

I’m a “kid” looking at a first bike so thanks for that lil bit on basics. Much appreciated. 😂👌

I’m getting a Grom as my first bike I love the groms

Thanks for this video. I just saw my friend rocking up with one of these and have never seen this before and now this has become a bike I want to get, even if it is my first bike. I might consider getting it second hand though. I don't know much about bikes, but I love the idea of having it as a commuter, perfect for what I would use it for. Greetings from South Africa!

I'm 58 and got one, such a blast for around the neighborhood. First good bike would be Honda 250 Rebal.

So I see these are barely over 220 lbs... Any worry about someone just taking the whole bike from a parking lot? Any security devices to stop that from happening?

Two tips for your first bike: -Buy used -600cc

You did a really kick ass job on Description and all the small details including the insurance, finance stuff ... just found your channel keep it also I saw your Honda video nieccccccccc !!

Picked mine up last night, am 17 and got quoted 600$ liability for the year, no tickets or crashes.

I’ve seen that exact same video of that guy in his garage at 2 in the morning 😂 Ik exactly what your talking about 😂😂😂😂

you say financing it is a bad idea but that isnt always true. If you plan to upgrade to a bigger bike later or are younge then financing it is good to help build up your credit.

S/o from idaho, I'm in boise, nice work on the video, it was a fun watch!

This video was great! My brother just got this exact bike and I’m just learning but for sure getting one now💯

I'm 4'10 in height and I'm looking to learn how to ride. I'm very small and petite so I'd like get one of these to learn. I'm not tall enough to ride a real one lol

Your paying for Honda quality!! If taken care of that bike will run 100,000 miles easy

Great video. Very informative. Looks like those bikes are Way Too Much Fun!!!! Im getting one. Thanks for putting this up.

Excellent review, I'm trying to decide between this and the Van Van 200. Thank you for everything, super informative

I don’t want a motorcycle to go fast. I want one to have a lot of fun with, and many other reasons. The grom will be perfect for me. If only my mom would let me get a motorcycle

dude, thanks for the review, helped me find its not me in my current situation, but what skid lid and microphone system do you use, it seems very good

Just got mine. 2013. 6'1" 300lb. I love it!!

thanks for all the info, been looking to pull the trigger on one of these for awhile. you sold me.

Liability only was qouted at $45 a year for me, Which is INSANE. I pay $100 a month for my minivan!

"stock tires are made from recycled trash can lids" = laugh and subscribed

In terms of aftermarket fun, the Grom is to motorcycles what the Honda Metropolitan is to scooters. Just silly shenanigans and so many smiles per gallon. 😁

I don’t know if you’re going to see my comment, but thanks for making an instructive video like that ! Very cool video man ! continue your passion man. PS: Hi from France

This dudes here paying 75 a year for insurance and im over here paying 3900 in down town Toronto and im the same age. Feels bad man

In UK you cannot drive a bigger bike than 125cc even after you have passed a test; for people under 19 (I think) there is a category A2 driving test that limits you to drive bikes up to 500 cc and only "proper adults" are allowed to drive 600cc + bikes after passing category A test... So the power of Grom is maximum you can drive anyway before taking a test, regardless how old you are. I still wouldn't get Grom as a first bike simply because the transition to proper sized bikes may feel daunting and take time to adjust. Even jumping from 125cc semi-automatic Suzuki Viva (in Asia: lower seat and feels more like a bicycle) to more modern Suzuki 250cc feels a little bit of a jump. Having said that, I will buy either Honda Grom or Kawasaki Z 125cc because I never got round taking a test and here in Cambodia it's the biggest bike I can drive without a licence - those two bikes are the only options of fully manual bikes for a reason. Congestion is a big problem in many cities and gear change every couple of minutes, sometimes in less than a minute is a pain when you have to have your wits about: bikes and sometimes even cars can literally come from all directions (including against the traffic on the wrong side of the road) and following traffic laws and stopping at traffic lights is optional. Grom seems like a perfect bike for a city, especially if you are short like me.... But I still beat motorbikes to the front of the queue most of the time because I can squeeze through narrow gaps with my bicycle that any any other bike. Of course the motorbikes will soon drive past me but I will catch them again at the next traffic lights.

U iz WIRED! Ok, I'm awake now. I liked all the hand puppetry😄.. good review!

Good informative video man, just picked up a 2018 as a secondary (primary GSX-S1000).

Unless your driving a monster truck... Looks at my Land Rover disco that gets 11 mpg 😭

3-4000 for a Honda bike new?? That’s greattttt!!!

Hey man, I'm a 6"5' tall guy 75 - 80kg, looking to buy a first bike, I was looking at taller bikes in the lower cc range ( because I live in Australia, and there are size limits for learners ). But then I realized throughout my time searching through the internet I have found that most people get bored of the lower cc bikes extremely quickly, this led me to the Grom, as it is something I believe I would personally never get bored of, and if I were to then get a 'bigger' bike I would most definitely keep the Grom regardless. Oh, and I live in a small town, so I don't need any speed. I was just wondering how cramped I would be on this cute little beast, I'm fairly flexible and won't mind uncomfortable riding positions. I just need someone to shed some light on my situation and you seemed like a fairly knowledgable individual And thanks for making an in-depth review to help everyone.

Groms really are the best aren't they. Love mine, after owning so many bikes. All I can say is it just has that fun factor.

Someone did a hit and run on me and broke my 50cc moped so I was looking at waiting 2 months till I can get a Grom as they aren’t too fast for a 125 just unsure about the cost. Where I am from the speed limit is only 40mph so a 125cc is the max you really need

I found one for 1500 dollars on craigslist I might buy it.

Well, I look at it this way. Riding a slow bike to its max potential is more fun than riding a fast bike slow. I've owned three bikes before. A CX500, a CBR600F4i, and a DRZ400SM. Hands down, the DRZ was the most fun. It was just fun to dick around on as well as a good commuter. Right now, my main mode of transportation is a bicycle, so a Grom would be great for when I need to go longer distances. Also, it looks fun as hell to dick around on.

This is an upgrade from my road bicycle when I'm lazy to go cycling.... hehehe.. Perfect daily for me from melt of snow to first snowfall

I really only need this bike to get to and from school going to friends house messing around with my friends and running errands.

He talks for 16:31 before he starts talking about the riding experience.

Yeah, that parking lot is nice for light - and it smells great there. And cruising the roundabout on Pine is fun. Glad you are liking the Grom.

I've been riding for 3 years. I had my first ride on a 125cc dirt bike when I was 8 years old. I own a Suzuki Gw250 and a Yamaha FZ6R and although I have lots of fun,I want a Grom....

It passed a Prius good enough for me. I''ll be back in 5 years.

1 year and only 3k miles?

I saw one on the road today in Japan. Black with gold wheels/trim. Love it. So I am here. I already have two bikes, but I guess it's too late now. It is gonna become three.

19:20 - fit some trick bars then, some crash protection. Make it the ultimate hooligan Grom. This is my fear with my big adventure bike, so I bought Outback Mototek crash bars & once they're fitted it'll be a tank.

ok so im thiccc as hell but I really want something like this cause it would be so much to mob around. I just dont wanna look like a bear on a bicycle

Do you think it makes a good commuter bike? My round trip to work and home is 7.5-8 miles through the suburbs, max posted speed is 35.

Thinking about getting one, this review helped out a lot and it was extra cool because you're riding in the same area I live xD

Fun,fun,fun.My grom is fun to Mod,Fun to own and more fun to ride around the CBD.I have an ScProject exhaust and muffler,sounds real trick.Fork,airbox,Ecu mods and yes I did change my chain,tyres and brake pads from new for a much better ride.I am mid fourties and love my Grom.Change engine oil every few thousand Klm's for better gear change and to look after that small engine.
