I'd like to see a mention of the rpms at 55mph, and 60mph, in 5th gear, on a flat straightway.

That's probably because it's not 60 mph. My new 22 stock Grom speedo indicates 12% faster speed than actual GPS measured speed. My top GPS speed is 51 mph.

@@edwardlacika3022 With that argument (which is probably true because all 125's I've ever known show 5kmh higher than they are actually doing) then the 60mph should be looking slower, because it is.

Can we get a Grom POV/review on TheTopher 😉

Check out this little bike kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eeCWiZRi2L60hWg.html

Mine does 67 indicated GPS 63mph 2024 model I weigh 195lbs. Now the speed drops into the low 50s into a strong headwind.

Glad to hear you're supporting Honda in your older years, Mr. President.

GROM ❤️

How much did you pay for it?

hello and how do you see the 5 gear?

Thanks! I think the Navi will be reliable too, but the Grom will be more fun and usable. Honestly, if you're only going to have one bike, you may want to save a bit more and get a CB300 or a KTM Duke 200. Much more of a usable bike.

@@DailyMotor really just looking for something fun to commute to work on and that’s brand new. Not looking to spend anymore then 4K on a bike. I’ve got plenty of time tho so will keep those in mind.

@@DailyMotor looking to stay in the 125cc range with the minis :D. Will never ever be on the highway and only using it to ride to work and the gym :).

You could always get the plastics for the black bike, I can't imagine that they cost too much. Or get the panels wrapped in a nicer color.

@@Daniel-dj7fh like 200 bucks give or take from what I've seen

@@dusty1268 ouff, on one hand it is to be expected, on the other how does Honda expect to sell a bunch of these haha

@@Daniel-dj7fh 200 bucks to change the color of your bike versus 1000 or more for a full size bike is GREAT lol makes me not care about buying a grom that's a specific color when I can just buy the plastics in the color I want for a measly $200

@@dusty1268 Yeah but if you think about it, ususally not so liquid people get themselves a grom because they're not too expensive. And 200 bucks for some plastics is in relation to that still quite high. I remember how much I had to sweat to get the Muffler for my cb500f haha

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words, and I hope you're enjoying yours. I've got a Benelli TNT 135 now, and my intro video on that is coming next month.

@@DailyMotor Oh very cool! I will look forward to that. How many vehicles to you actually own? I could not find any Benelli dealerships near me in Southern California, but it will be interesting to see any comparisons MPG wise, as well as, comfortability compared to my Grom. Ride safe.

@@morgantalbert7103 I've got two bikes and three cars, although they rotate around for various uses. SSR might be the parent dealership listed for Benelli, but I prefer the Grom overall. I'd really like to find a Monkey, but they're tough to find.

@@DailyMotor Those Monkeys look pretty cool. But I love my Grom. You got me beat on the cars (Me Two), but I am in the lead when it comes to motorcycles(4). I really liked your review on the DCT CTX. I wish Honda would revise that bike and bring it back.

I own a Grom 2022 and resent that. You don't need to be a happy hair dresser to understand. If anything you need to be a hoon (it will make you one)

@@miketran4289 Obviously never driven a Miata.

@@mattdebyl3586 I've never driven an mx5 or ridden a grom, but both I want

I might be dumb, but what's the difference between these, the previous and the first groms mirrors?

what is SP? I saw them but they have same price and all? jut a different those decals?

No

abs is never a bad thing to have. But good tires make more sense than abs on smaller bikes. On my old 125 with cheap chinese tires, my rear blocked in the rain once and I came to a stop 20m after the traffic light. Thank god nobody was there, and the junction was a safer one.

Yea that fun you're having is the fun of wringing out the whole engine, something you can't really do with bigger bikes. Personally I think that a 300- honda's 500 are the limit to where power and usability sit, anything higher and you're never reving the motor at all. My cb500f does about 90kmh in 2nd, revving out 1st is always janky on any bike. Meaning the only real revving you can do legaly on that thing is between 2nd and 3rd on backroads (where you don't really fully use the 3rd gear). And lets be honest, the highway isn't much fun.

I've also noticed that on my 500 that the bike moves faster than I can enjoy the moment of riding. Back in my 125 days every corner I take I would have had time to think about the line, the angle, and everything. Nowadays I'm around the corner before I even register it.

All great points. I think the Grom will be a valuable member of the stable for many years.

Did you watch the video you need to rewatch it again

@Frank Dux What do cb500f's cost over there?

Yes

I don't think it really matters on low capacity, non race orientated bikes.

Good ol GoPro Hero 8 Black!

If it's going to be your only bike, I would recommend something like a KTM Duke 200 or a lightly used 250-400cc bike.

@@DailyMotor well I have a 04 soft tail but I’d use this next bike for a daily rider but regardless I think ima get a vstar 250 tho mayyybe a mt03 because the past 2 days stuff has changed and I can afford a little bit more than a grom

That's a big bummer. Yeah these are at stupid high values right now.

Tank capacity 1.59 US gal (6.0 L)

I'd say about 150 MPG

I've been averaging about 125 mpg over the first 250 miles of ownership, at least according to the bike's computer.

I get about 150 miles to the tank and I’m 200 lbs

125's usually eat around under 2,5l/100km, depending on your weight and how much you pin it maybe abit more. That would make about 100mpg, but mpg is 70% riding style.

Rebel will be more relaxed, Grom is more fun at lower speeds.

@@DailyMotor thx, having a had time deciding, mostly just short comments

To muchhhhb

I've also been thinking about the KTM e-xc freeride for a good 6 years now.

Just the stock Honda tires. I'll have to see what they are

@@DailyMotor Na I got the ones that came wit it too and they’re trash to me. Gotta swap em out

@@dujuanjohnson5025 What tires are on there, I'm curious.

Yup! It wasn't bad! Good amount of low torque

Ooof! We're in Michigan, and the dealer we bought from was in Ohio

I paid 5,9kusd converted from euros for a 500f, groms are expensive af over there. groms go for around 4,2k usd over here

I was quoted $5283 out the door in RC Hill Honda, in DELAND Florida. I will look elsewhere

Plus, you can do a little off roading too!
