[@DukeOfDC]

The ever smal and mighty Honda Grom!! Please like, comment, and SUBSCRIBE for more content :)

[@Kimbrough87]

DukeOfDC it’s Air cooled 😝

[@tanmay_6363]

Nice video Sir Are you from Canada?

[@frangatlin136]

I am 62...have rode dirt bikes in the past. Just bought my first bike ...a Grom.. .I am in love. It is just what I want to curse around on !!!!!

[@molonlabe9602]

Same age here, gonna buy me a used MSX (what the Grom is called in Asia). The new MSX costs a little over $2,000 here. Mine in mint and has 850 miles on it. I'm paying about $800 for it.

[@Shotbyemboy]

7:14 we all know he took that U turn😂😂

[@mark753357]

It's not liquid cooled, it's air cooled

[@DukeOfDC]

Slip on my end, apologies. The other 6 bikes I reviewed that day were liquid cooled.

[@mark753357]

@@DukeOfDC it's cool, I have a 2018 Grom, Grom Gang

[@greenberet3699]

Im watching on my xbox. At least its been said. Grom gang!

[@brandonpowell4205]

I thought all stock groms are air cool unless they got aftermarket engine swaps hhhmmm but just purchased a 2020 brand new an dealer sail alll are air cool

[@calebcris9096]

Brandon Powell read the comment 3 above you dickhead

[@ClutchFirst]

I wish these little bike were 2k. I would definitely buy one at that price point. Nice review as usual Duke.

[@DukeOfDC]

Thanks for watching my doood. I think that’s why those kymco 125’s are starting to get more popular. They found that price point

[@ClutchFirst]

DukeOfDC Any chance could review a Kymco? I’d love to hear your take on one. Your recommendation would go a long way. Thank you.

[@revwithkev]

It would be nice to see the grom with 250cc and an extra gear. Still a fun toy nevertheless.

[@DukeOfDC]

With a 250cc this would be amazing... a damn monster. Imagine if they did a 250cc 4 cylinder. My gawd.

[@mark753357]

You can put the 250cc/300cc single cylinder of the cbr250/300 in them

[@FrankiesWorld]

Right? I have been saying that since I got my grom. 250cc and just one more gear would be a day and night difference.

[@onehappyoldgoat7124]

That's already been done....youtube it

[@ronmendoza4916]

The Big Ruckus has a 250 motor. Good luck trying to find one. Lucky for me I got mine in 2010 for 2100 dollars.

[@mcSal]

I love my little 2020 Grom, on the street or on the ranch. We can’t get it over 56 mph top speed. Everyone like to learn on the Grom. It works hard to put a smile on your face. Just a fun little bike.

[@orangeGrom]

I have a 2018 with an exhaust and ive hit 62. Get an exhaust

[@jco5254]

I have a bone stock 2019 I’m 180 pounds 6 foot nine hits 62 on flat roads all day

[@karonmarshall8965]

The glasses with the mustache makes u look like an undercover cop.

[@Deetroiter]

Only issue I have is when the stealership won’t let you out the door with one for less than 4500. It’s a total blast of a bike, but it’s also not a 4500 bike, either

[@preachedbeast8934]

1:39 that bikes got an air cooled 125 and most lawn mowers have 160cc

[@2NinjaTwins]

Do 60fps when riding, makes it a lot smoother for us

[@DannyDorjee]

When r u doing mt-03 review?

[@kylewehrsig4856]

Does anything think it would be possible to engine swap the grom with 149cc lawn mower?

[@Laga98]

The reason I want one of these so bad is because I'm a small guy myself. It's literally the absolute perfect size for me. I can stand up over it and barely graze the seat, and when I'm sitting down on it my arms are perfectly bent unlike when I ride a Harley with straight arms

[@BluePatch-pc7sx]

2022 are going for 5K some dealers still have 2020 for 4.1K 7/29/21, for .9k you get 5 speed/ 10 to 1 compression abit more power/ LED headlight and a few more things/ tuff to choose.

[@malenycruz3061]

“If you vertically challenged” 😂 I’m offended

[@pinkiepie1656]

I’m vertically burdened. Being tall sucks.

[@iconiiccxx3328]

My check engine comes on when I turn the bike on then shuts off, everybody says it’s normal but I didn’t see that happen with this one

[@highonlifefishing4007]

I weigh 270 i wonder what the top speed in this would get me to 😭😭😢😢

[@rxonmymind8362]

10 mph.😆

[@PetroHead]

@@rxonmymind8362 10 mph? Thats way to much lol

[@jhedmanuel1882]

I just really love watching the road whatever bike you are using... Just love to ride! Looking forward for your next video... Have a safe ride!

[@haydentornoe6990]

To all grom owners: I’m looking to get my first bike - I’ve owned dirt bikes but looking for a street legal bike now I weigh 145 lbs and am 5’7” I usually am in cities and live in the city which makes sense to own one of these but also I love going on the freeway and going around places I’ve never been and exploring, should I get one or no? Kinda like the Honda 300 CBR jawn

[@speechlesgoat7239]

Hayden Tornoe I purchased my 2020 about a month ago and don’t regret it a bit! However if you plan to go on the freeways you will have a rough time keeping up odviouosly, I would recommend street use mainly, freeway not so much

[@quikboarder93]

If you’re used to dirt bikes, want something more maneuverable for city riding, and want something that can literally go just about anywhere, I’d strongly consider a dual sport. A KLX230 would likely be good for your height and it has 6 gears for expressway riding. XT250 or CRF250L are good too, KLX250 would be iffy and the WR250R or DRZ-400 would likely be too tall. A grom will suffer on expressways. What’s nice is if you just end up riding street, you can put more street oriented tires on once the stock ones wear out and basically have a street bike with a ton of suspension travel for hooligan stuff.

[@brunno8887]

z400 or ninja 400

[@xxpatrick204xx]

R6

[@georgegkiokas4946]

Does it have abs in both wheels? Thanks for the review!

[@javierramos8880]

I really wish they make the next one 250cc with a extra gear or faster it would be the best thing fr 🙏🏽 but it still really nice as how it is.

[@courtneyricks500]

Thank you for this video. I have been wondering what they are all about. Great starter bike for an 18yo???

[@sgtspooktaylor9552]

Yea. When i was 18 i took a motorcycle class and i rode a grom in training and loved it.

[@tristinjames8911]

Yeah I just bought one two months ago and taught myself how to ride it in the parking lot of this dealership actually and rode home 25 miles same day. Very easy bike to learn on

[@smoke6359]

Tristin James you need a license for it?

[@MrSurvivalexpert]

How did you get a liquid cooled one? Mine is air

[@ronmendoza4916]

A Big Ruckus is rare. It was only around 2005 to 2006.

[@lavishlex]

I’m 5”1.. I wonder if I could flat foot the grom

[@javy_0720]

Lavish Lex the Honda Grom’s seat height is 30 inches..... just giving you some specs.

[@masonj1417]

When I get my license I want one to go around town and go to school

[@ChrisMWilson]

"I kid you not my family has a riding lawn mower with more horsepower and torque than this." LOL... Best line ever. That is exactly why the Grom is a beast.... 🔥

[@DukeOfDC]

The grom is such a fun bike

[@handsomesquidward474]

In 5'4 and 18. Yes im short. Would I be able to keep it up right when stopped?

[@evelynjorge3382]

Yes bro!

[@DailyMotor]

Will you be able to do a KTM 390 Duke anytime soon?

[@jamesdu955]

Can you please do a review on the 2020 yamaha r1 or r1m if you can.

[@xcrack6364]

I’ve ridden a few bikes in the past from a 250 to a 999cc and I’m actually really looking forward to just getting one of these for some city cruising. I haven’t ridden in some years now and have sciatic nerve damage. This seems more my kind of bike now. Thanks For the review. Looks fun.

[@viivcreations9161]

Can you do reviews on UTVs and side by sides? Im looking at Polaris and Mule in particular

[@oldmanmtb1443]

Is it a comfortable bike to ride...compare to a 600cbr

[@6dyce]

Love mines! Nice video

[@IqbalSaiful]

Wouldn't it be nice if they update the looks to NeoCafé also

[@brad_Ca]

Did you leave Austin and move to California? Anyway, enjoyed the video stay safe and be happy. 😊

[@DukeOfDC]

I actually don’t live in either! I’m a traveling Duke haha

[@GravyBoat]

Thanks for the video! Grom is next on my list. 😍

[@amonGustavo07]

I’ve ran away after smashing a pricks mirror on a grom. It actually is quite good to run away only if there’s a bunch of traffic and you blast multiple stop signs

[@aidanyoung8173]

How many gallons dose it hold I can’t hear that great

[@Drive315]

Holds 1.5 gallons... I paid $2500 for my 2018 Grom, worth every penny... check it out on my channel !

[@rickymahoney6664]

So I’m looking for my first bike and I don’t want to start on anything crazy. Looking for light weight and a short seat since I’m 5’8 about 140lbs but I definitely want to go above 50mph lol. This would be perfect for me to take to work since it’s about 15 miles away and all ocean view back roads but at that price I’d rather spend a little more and get something faster. None the less u got a new sub✌️

[@johnw65]

Amazing lil machine! Your helmet-cam was making your hi speed runs look scarier than it really is. My 6'4" son just got a 2019 Grom and it's a blast to ride! No, I wouldn't take it on the 75mph interstates around here but hey, 60mph on Rt66 is acceptable...

[@specialized29er86]

What be the maximum height for some one to comfortably ride one.

[@seanciaran1112]

I’ve seen a 6’6 guy have fun with one. A 6’2 guy can use comfy with minimal knee blockage.

[@hendrix6602]

I wish they would make this in a 250cc version and increase the size a bit for 6 ft riders over 200lbs

[@Oliver-is9mc]

CB300R would be perfect for you.

[@RemedyTalon]

I'm going to buy one for my commute through the mountains.. im just worried about the hills.

[@codygrant1044]

Love the channel. Wondering if by any chance u get your hands on a new Cbr500r u could do a review. Looking for a second bike to put in garage along side my z900 for town cruisin and commuting, really like the looks of it. Can’t seem to find a solid review on it. Looked into ninja 400 but seating position kills my manhood lol. Keep up the good work lookin forward to your next vid. Be safe

[@mikestowe6136]

so often do ya do videos

[@chyeaboii]

i have a cbr600rr and fuck yea i'd buy one of these, they look so damn fun lmao

[@giniolamy]

I'm dying to get 1 I can't wait only a matter of time

[@stabbincabbincowbboy3770]

Heck Yeah... I Got My 2020 and now we are on lock down - Damn Corona

[@karonmarshall8965]

Nice I’m trying to buy one as soon as corona season is over. Did u get the abs grom?

[@stabbincabbincowbboy3770]

Karon Marshall yes ...All the new 2020 is the first year with ABS it’s a funny feeling when hinting the front break off roading / trail riding - But it works...

[@jco5254]

Shit the lock down gave me a reason to buy one and in the last week Iv our 500 miles on it

[@onehappyoldgoat7124]

I've seen many reviews on youtube of the Grom and this review is the worst and doesn't represent the same opinions as the other reviews....,you're doing a review of a mini moto not a Hayabusa.....why not compare the Grom to the Kaw z125? That would be a good review

[@jco5254]

Dan Wooten he’s a moron terrible review

[@loganalden7953]

So is it automatic transmission?

[@jco5254]

Logan Alden no it’s a 4 speed

[@joeyt6547]

It’s air cooled

[@ΓεώργιοςΧριστόπουλος-γ7λ]

If you had ride ,Honda chally ,Dax or Yamaha TDR 50 you will enjoy and understand these motorcycle !

[@__justsayno__]

I wish they would make 200cc Grom with a 5th gear.

[@Venom69696]

Yaaasssssss

[@pedlooo4967]

Whats your height in cm?

[@LucKyvNiNjA]

Dam this where I got my first bike haha nearest dealer to me

[@Collin_The_Red]

That poor bike in the end :I he had to be over the weight limit

[@gardini100]

i got his brother the Monkey , and must say it is so much fun

[@Steve-ec6ed]

no videos in 4 months?

[@Brandonk16473]

How do i get a liquid cooled grom 😂

[@shoei07]

Can’t wait for you to ride the Triumph Rocket! You forgot to get into the tuck position

[@Kimbrough87]

It’s Air Cooled

[@maguiremartin2350]

its a 125cc it would say on the bike its a 124cc but it doesnt. still a good video gang gang

[@herethereandelsewhere1941]

Liquid cooled... Are you kidding me? What kind of vlogger are you? :D :D :D

[@jrnumex9286]

wow, a grom without the stupid loud kid muffler. i just see the sidecar for it and now interested in that package. i have a ruckus, (love) and a yamaha zuma (daily driver/ love) and a ct 125 on waiting list..

[@miguelsalgado9940]

Yea it seems like you’re a bit on the heavy side for this bike lol you wouldn’t pass 70 on a 300cc

[@p.santos6644]

A true fun bike 😂 Would be nice if manufacturers made mini bikes replica of the big ones. Many people would pay 3k dollars to have a "mini me bike" in the garage. Another great review as always, keep up the good work and careful with the virus. Be safe 👍

[@drama_kaflama6175]

It’s the Kia is fed up for me 😂😂😂😂

[@ingenieriasdwight9585]

In mexico people uses a lot of Chinese 125cc bikes for all kinds of work, they cost about 500 dollars new hahaaa

[@athulvara]

"this is a scooter on steroids"

[@sonicjackalopeproductions3342]

I don't get how Americans seem to INSIST on saying that these are "lawn mower" engines... as if a small engine is a threat to their masculinity

[@DukeOfDC]

It’s just a small engine in comparison to what most bikes here have

[@DaPopeLP]

Because it is. My lawn mower has more HP than that thing. Almost all of our motorcycles have way more HP. A grom can't even handle half of our roads

[@darrylbarba5330]

Don't let the dealership fool you they're money hungry af

[@icezilla01]

My buddy is selling me a 2020 for $800

[@realone86]

That’s not liquid cooled at all

[@icebryce4767]

Get cloths that fit

[@rowbee385]

get an education that teaches you how to spell.

[@nathanthebeeman489]

I wanted to leave a hater comment since they fuel you and I’m a helpful guy but it’s just not my style. Truth is it was a very decent review🤷 I think I’ll stick to my 117ci Breakout

[@DukeOfDC]

Haha thanks for being kind. The nice comments fuel me way more than the haters

[@nathanthebeeman489]

DukeOfDC right on that’s what’s up. I think that would be a cool little bike if you lived in LA or some big city with horrible traffic

[@bekindtoyourmother]

Just a qwik question - might you have a partner or someone on staff who might actually be vertically challenged ( 5ft 5 and under) and perhaps even of the female persuasion to do a review ? Lots of us with the big booties and short stumps like riding the bikes as well. We need a chicks review. Just sayin. Please and thank you.

[@molonlabe9602]

Not liquid cooled.

[@diegodebunks8459]

Its not a 600cc we get it

[@dankrasher43]

Love the Citizen Dick reference

[@unknownartists2144]

Scooter on steroids 😭😭

[@sonicjackalopeproductions3342]

Where are the steroids? This thing is SLOW compared to a Vespa GTS or any piaggio over 150cc.

[@POOMKH4947]

Great video! I have had my grom for over a year now and love it! I am sub'd to your channel, can you hook me up with one?

My girlfriend has a Honda Ruckus. I will it bitch about a Grom.

[@cgteam4223]

Chicago can be 7

[@LiveWire276]

Imagine a 50cc Grom. That would be cool

[@andraeb1981]

Thought this was a review video not a find everything wrong an joke about it.

[@somebodynothing8028]

So you don't actually own the bike you just get paid to do a review and have to say good things got it

[@DukeOfDC]

I say really bad things about a lot of bikes that I’m offered to review. Also, LOL getting paid... baby I’m on that government cheese 🧀

[@DukeOfDC]

Also... this comment is odd on this video. I shit on this bike almost the entire time haha

[@iMotoTactic00L]

Not worth it!! 2016-2020 all the same nothing changed!.

[@Collin_The_Red]

Him: "it tops out at 60mph" *In reality* - Cant go above 50mph

[@MrChris-bx7ss]

You spent 10 minutes bad mouthing the Grom...

[@DukeOfDC]

Yeah, and?
