My week long review on the 2020 Honda Grom 125. I commuted on it in city traffic, some in town curvy roads, but didn't take it out on the highway as it tops out at just 62 mph. I put on just about 100 miles on it. Thank you Jay for letting me borrow your spare bike after your accident!

Grom is the ultimate learner bike, it was my first bike and it really helped with getting comfortable on 2 wheels and gain the confidence to play with how to shift properly and leaning/body position without getting into too much trouble. It really helped me understand the fundamentals of riding a motorcycle and transitioned effortlessly to my SV650. I bought a used grom to learn on and it was the best $1,500 ive ever spent....years of fun!!!

you make such a good point for people just starting off and people that don't hold the skills just yet to do things on bikes. Start off with a smaller bike and train yourself on EVERYTHING. Then slowly move up in cc and go from there. Too often you see smaller people like yourself get a bike that is just simply too much for them. Not saying thats what you did but a lot of people end up doing that cause if you ride a motorcycle you must go fast! Start small and work your way up.

My Silverwing 600 would go over 100 mph, but 2 of us rode coast 2 coast(separate bikes) without ever getting over 60. People were super friendly and came over to talk to us at almost every fuel stop. I've heard stories from Grom travelers that say the same. People aren't as friendly when you ride a sport or loud-pipes-saves-lives bike. Thumpers are great bikes.

There's a thing I started practicing recently. Imagine duck walking the bike, but with only 1 leg... So my butt is scooted outside the bike, so I can flat foot with that 1 leg, then slightly lean the bike towards it to create this solid tripod thing with me leg and the bike and then just push forward or backward with that 1 leg when I need to. If I need to turn the bike, the bike is somewhat leaned over already, so turning that direction is easier. If I wanna go the other way, I just switch legs. Idk how well it'll work with heavier bikes, cuz my bike is only about 430ish lbs.

in singapore, we have class 2b 200cc and below for ur first licence. U need to wait for a year after that to go for class 2A courses and test to get a class 2A licence (400cc and below). Then you have to wait for another year to be able to go for another course to get class 2 licence which enable one to ride 400cc and above. Literally the government made it so difficult to get a USA equivalent beginner bike here. 3 years if u don’t waste any time. And we have high import tax and a bike ownership certificate which only valid for 10 years (costs abt 5k usd) . And for any bike it added up costing 3 times more than in USA.

The game was to fold up the gearshift side foot peg. Just keep my foot on the right foot peg. Then proceed to ride in a circle without touching the ground or minimally do dabs just for saves. Just making power broad slides just for practice and fun. Some days would hardly dab the ground at all. 'Twas a lovely motorbike. I was probably six feet tall at the time.

Funny that in other countries, a 125cc is basic, but super normal, every time I go home to Mexico, I see a lot of delivery boys and regular riders in their hondas and itálikas of 125 and 150 riding in city traffic all the time.

My next door neighbor has one and loves it! He's 6'5" and 240lbs. 😱 He swears he can get up to 65mph, on a good downhill, full tuck, and a bit of a tailwind. I have yet to see it happen. 🤣

There are a lot of motorcycle with shorter seat heights. (Example, all the Honda Rebels including the new 1100 by 2.5 inchs or more. Even the Goldwing by over half an inch. But these seats are a little to a lot wider.) The clutch has a fiction point instead of a fiction zone. (This may be improved on later model years.) Only bicycles have a greater tendency to do brakies when doing a quick stop. (Which can be fun when done intentionally.) It is the only motorcycle that I have ridden that I make a big effort to shift my weight toward the back well practicing actual quick stops. After all my complaints, I still think it is a very fun bike that is great for some situations. It is also a great bike for some people.

My boyfriend and I are considering getting one each just for fun lol do you guys think it’s worth it? Seems like everyone loves them! Thanks for the video :)

We’ve got a pair of them and love them. They make great second bikes. I prefer the flat seat of the MK1 makes it easy to move around on/get comfy

It looks impossible here in the Philippines that one will buy at that price range. Though it looks cool

cb300r.. still very light-weight, has more than twice the power and is capable (tho a bit scary) of going on highways. It's the grown-up Grom.

I ride a 150 (SYM Wolf Classic). It's become my primary mode of transportation. Highways are not really a big deal, but I rarely ride them anyway because they are not curvy or scenic. The real problem with a little bike is comfort on long rides, meaning there isn't any. Atlanta to Savannah takes all day and you feel pretty beat up at the end. I am considering a second, "touring" bike, probably a Versys 300.

Nope, if it was the only bike sure I'd happily ride it. At age 17 bought a new 1976 Honda XL175, on 2nd ride used it to get motorcycle endorsement, yes used to be easy. 3 weeks later I was sick of it, too slow for me. Was drooling over the Bonneville but couldn't afford one, Honda 450 took care of me for a few years. Now my VTX1300 seems adequate, almost bought the 1800.
