Top 3 Pros & Cons of Daily Riding a Honda Grom 

What is cheap are the Chinese Grom clones, or the Honda Navi. The 2020 Groms were $3k, but after covid tax, they became $5k.

​@@ProDigit80definitely 5k

When you make your payments try to pay on the phone, pay more and tell them whatever extra you pay to pay it to the principal! You will knock out a lot of interest.

Man that is awesome!! Glad to hear you're doing good! That's what it's all about right there, enjoying the times we're fortunate enough to have like that. I think I'd have to agree with ya too, i try not to lug mine around too much either. I've heard a handful of people say the same thing about the 5th gear on the 23's. You guys stay safe out there!

Bless you that's awesome

The only "cons" I have about the GROM are the mirrors are too close together so I only can see my shoulders. If the stems were 3 inches longer you could actually see in back of you and it really could use just a bit more displacement as I am a heavy guy and the bike tops out at 59 MPH. It would be nice if top speed was about 68MPH

You can't lug the engine. The compression on the new engines might run a bit hotter than the older groms.

your post has me leaning in a non-Grom direction. for 2 reasons. the 12" wheels and the wheels not having a knobby option. the honda 100 has 19" front and 16" rear wheels. here in colorado i take my honda 100 all over jeep roads and other trails. and on ebay i can get a kit to convert it to street legal. something i plan to do as my yamaha xt-225 enduro at 260# is too heavy for me to safely ride anymore on the dirt. i'm 77 . and can still ride it ok on the streets. but overall i've gotten too old for it. i do get a kick out of reading of us older boys still at it. and in the summer when i do the Tincup pass - Hancock pass loop lots of them will be out too livin' the dream. its fun to stop and visit w/ them. or even stop for lunch at that one restaurant along the way. that place is usually packed with atv'rs and dirt-bikers since it would take a load of money to upgrade a Grom to what i am already used to that path makes no sense. when i already have a dirt bike that will leave a stock Grom in the dust. its only advantage is being license-able out the door as-is ok , i know. the 100 frame size is for a teen ager in middle school. and with some 2x6 lumber and lots of foam and carpet the seat height has been raised accordingly. its weight is about 160#. and is an amount i can still get back up after a spill. in truth tho if i didnt have so many seasons on enduros already the Grom would have more appeal. all the vid's seen here show guys having fun. and it reminds me of my first doodle-bug back in grade school

Grom's are the best bang for the buck in my opinion! Even better when you have your own little squad to roll around with. That's awesome man!

How much do you weigh to get those speeds and mpg? I’m 6’1 203.

@@maybeiam3367 I'm 5'8, 157lb, and I can't go over 55 on a flat rode

The Amazon exhaust opened up our little Grom and 60mph is about it so far.. ..Next will be a new Air Intake and then an ECU re-flash.. Ours averages around 125mpg while driven hard.. It's a 2023 model

lol

I could definitely seeing it being very enjoyable!! Once the weather cools down here some i plan on riding it throughout the week a lot more often. I appreciate it boss! 🙏🏼

Thank you sir! I hated to see that thing go, maybe I'll snag another one day, had loads of fun on that little thing, one of the best bangs for your buck out there in my opinion! Appreciate the sub my guy!

Don’t get a Navi man that shit is too slow 😭 I have a grom and I’m finna put a 190 in it so I can actually get away from cars

@@zapo4867 don't need fast, don't even need stock Grom fast 🤣 If I can hold 50mph it will be perfect.

I could definitely see that leaving you wanting just a bit more out of it, and rightfully so 🤣 you'll love the Grom man!! Appreciate the watch brother!

Agreed!! Tons of that out there for sure!

How you liking it? Never owned a bike but going to go look at a 2023 this week!

@@Dxltaaaa just hit 1700 miles! I've been enjoying this bike!

@@Dxltaaaa did you get one?

So crazy to see how wide of a viewing audience I've got! I appreciate that man, once you go to the mini's you'll never look back!! Too much fun 🤣🤣

Let's go!! You're gonna love it man! See ya out and about 👊🏼

Are you content with it being stock i want one but want to get away from traffic lol

@@STuOnYt oh yeah I've had no issues with it, that's one thing I'd say is a downfall of it is just not being able to necessarily get out of the way as quick as some would like but once you're used to it you tend to ride a little more defensive knowing so!

@@NoersOn2 okay cool, can i buy it cash from dealership w/o a motorcycle license

A day closer to Friday!! 🤣 enjoy it brother!

Yes, they are metal detectors. A 4' or so diameter coil of thin wire with a small current applied. Any large metal thing that passes over the coil disrupts the magnetic field and triggers the light. Pressure sensors would be messed up by thermal expansion/contraction of the pavement as the weather changes.

Its easy to steal because it doesnt weigh 850 pounds 😂😂

​@@TheAnnoyingBossi keep my shit in my kitchen 😂 good luck stealing mine😅

Okay but will it really work or am i goingnto be hauking around a big magnet for no reason getting trolled hard

Grom all the way man. The clones aren't fuel injected so you won't have to worry about carb problems or any of that jazz, plus I've heard a lot of people complain about them, as cheap as they are anyways I'd spend the extra $$$ and just buy a grom! You won't be let down haha

Lol have fun trying to blow up that beast if a motor

@@jameschillingfpv5916 I've had mine for 1 month and I have 7k miles. Won't be as long as you think.

Slow? Obviously it’s not gxsr or cbr fast lmao what u expect it’s a grom & mopeds go 30 mph max I’ve gotten my grom 65-66 on flat I’m 145-147 pounds

@@EdwardVelez than u treat it like shi lol I know people who’s had their groms since 2017

@@slimeballson8929 M8, do you know me? So, it's safe to say you have no idea in what state the bike is. Obviously, it's not a 600cc, I was saying my pros and cons. Stop taking everything so personal and try asking questions before you even start going off, especially when you don't have a full picture. Remember bro, warm heart but cold mind.

My guy!!! You already know 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely a perfect first bike! The fuel is the best part about it, i can fill up for less than $3 🤣🤣

@@NoersOn2 thanks man for the reply when I'm older I'll look at buying the XR250 or CRF250R for now I'll buy the Grom seems perfect for my needs Hey for $3 full tank that's like 200 On it riding maybe more even

Good question man! The front brake is always going to have more stopping power compared to the rear so i tend to use more of that but also slightly dragging the rear brake on top of engine brake. There's really a lot of factors going into it but for a more simple/short answer, i do use both, but more of the front brake!

@@NoersOn2 Thank you for the tip!

They're a blast man! I will say it is 10x more fun to ride with a group rather than yourself on one though! I can agree with that for sure

Tulsa man!

@@NoersOn2 no shot same

Sheesh man!! Sorry to hear about that! Definitely thinking about him as we get closer to the warmer weather! Never something i like to hear about 😞 be safe out there buddy!! 💪🏼🫡

My guy!!

Definitely! You can find them used all day long (where I'm at anyways, kind of varies by state) for $2-3k! Just be sure it's titled and ready to go and you're set

$490 a month, you should be focused on eating brother not toys. 😂

Those were the Protaper KLX110 bars!

Brand new23

Super bright compared to stock in person! I'm borderline blind to begin with, and it's one of the best things I've done since buying it 🤣

Appreciate you brother! Keep killing it out there yourself, i see the work 👀

New cpu pipes and intake. Also weight of rider.

Zs190cc swap it direct replacement with a bracket it's a 5speed electric start complete engine kit does 75-80mph😉👍✌️💯🛠️🏍️

I highly recommend one man!! They're a a blast no matter the size! It could definitely handle you no issue, heck you could even throw a bigger sprocket on the rear and that would help!

If you get one maybe get a big bore kit to help get that little extra power for the top speed increase. My road only has 1 exit and it goes directly into a 55mph road. Nobody did does limit and if you aren't doing 60-65 you'll get hit by someone not paying attention. I plan on getting the monkey and doing the 149cc big bore kit the same time I get the bike.

would probably look at a normal size bike if I was you. You'll be pegging the grom all the time and running that thing into the ground. Look at the CB300r or CB500r, they call those the bigger brother of the grom.

I am a 75 year old man that weighs 283lbs. I bought a black '23 Grom 3/1/23 as my bigger bikes I can no longer get my leg over. I feel my Grom will not go past 60 with my weight and may be even faster in 4th gear rather than 5th, but I have not yet fully flogged this engine until it is fully broken in.

They are fine for your weight , i weigh about 240 lbs and it rides completely fine with me on it , i got a 2014 honda grom and ive hit 72 on it so far

Some taller bars can always fix that! I've seen plenty of bigger guys mobbing around on them!

Better than whatever u ride

😂😂😂😂😂

I daily mine on a 50mph road.. The Grom is just barely enough considering traffic usually moves along at about 60.. A few mods and then it'll be a lot better - ..130mpg helps ease the pain though..

@@watcherman65 z's 190cc swap 5speed electric start direct replacement with a bracket should get you 75-80 mph
