Grom suits taller riders, Z suits shorter riders(handlebar to knee clearance). Grom has better brakes, Z has better suspension. Grom has bigger tires and lower footpegs, Z has smaller tires and higher footpegs. Grom has the top end, Z has the bottom end. Both have plenty of after market parts now and so all you need to do is go and see which one fits you better really. These bikes don't stay stock for long so choose your flavor and go and have fun.

@@EP-pg3xs- You never tell people, Especially new riders, to lower their bike. That make the bike dangerous to ride. The bike would not function as it should. And it is a waste of money and time. And the bike is to heavy and big, to learn on. Learn on a 50cc - 125cc. And become a better rider, faster. On a bigger bike, most will never be a good rider. Just look at the statistics on how many die, because they have to keep up with traffic on a big bike. The fast bike don’t make you a better rider. It makes it much harder, in some cases, impossible to learn. Most crash or almost crash, and stop riding. Or just give up before they really tried.

I am a Honda guy I like the Grom better but the Z has an adjustable rear shock and an oil pump that won't let you blow the engine up if you wheelie for a long ways 2 things you don't have to change but you do on the Grom. The front shocks are also a little stiffer on the Z. I am 6 foot tall and I don't like the way the tank pokes into my legs on the Z or the new Grom but they are both fun as hell no matter which you get.

Interesting. I was thinking for a long time which one of these I would buy, but I went for Honda because of two reasons: Grom (2017 model from Thailand) was $300 cheaper and the seat is low enough for me to put both of my feet flat on the ground, whereas with Kawazaki I could only touch the ground with my touch. (I'm a shortass, so that was one important factor when choosing a bike for sitting in traffic jam for most of my commute.) P.s. There is no noticeable difference between the seats over here; if anything it is the Kawasaki that has more dipped seat.

@oakstrong1 5 жыл бұрын

At least it is the case in Thailand, where both Grom and Kawasaki are made; Kawasaki is actually the more expensive one. Perhaps it is to do with the import costs of Kawasaki or because Kawasaki has not yet got the same name recognition as a reliable make. Honda just goes on and on... Although, after a fall (sliding across the road) mine wouldn't start for a while afterwards. But when it did, it ran like nothing had happened and the only sign is the scratch marks on paint of the the casket and stock exhaust. And of course the sticking out indicators were broken. (It's not been moded but thinking of getting rid of the tail fender.)

The z125 has better acceleration and better low end torque based off this video when you's both stop then accelerate the z125 seems bit quicker off the bat but the grom seems to kick in at the mid range it catches the z125. Top speed of z125 I think is faster too unless you are much heavier than your friend

we’re about the same size and i’ve ridden my buddies grom before and it held up really well, it struggled uphill but that’s really it! never ridden a z125 but i’d imagine the same. They’re more for around town havin fun tho so it’s still worth it for sure

Great video and info guys!! What do both of these bikes cost used down in your area? Maybe like a year or so old low miles? The reason I ask my son starts to drive soon and I may surprise him with one of them I have a GXR 750 and I really want him to go riding with me and I want to help teach him and after he gets a little experience under his belt we will take a cross-country ride maybe to Vegas or something!! Thank you guys!!👍💯 BTW I started out on the Kawasaki 250 ninja!! 😂!! Lastly what are you guys using to talk to each other? Thanks bro

@@toqir-dar- Senna or Cardo. Think he use a audio recorder, and makes the video on his computer. That is not how most people start. I think about getting a 360 cam. Because the GoPro and other action cams are so bad. Don’t buy to much, before you done it for some years. Because is a hard job to make videos. And you probably are not going to do it much. Even some of the people, doing it for a living. Are not making lots of them. So don’t waste your money.
