All New 2025 Honda Grom - is it REALLY WORTH the upgrade?

What are your thoughts about the new gen Honda Grom? Leave a comment below.

[@nellieallen1433]

im itching to get it for my "midlife crisis" and ride it like dr strangelove when that dude on the bomb and it dropped...that, j/k

[@PetroHead]

@@nellieallen1433 If you want a mid life crisis bike... this is a soft bike for that. If you can't afford a 911, then at least go for a 600 sport bike but if you're 100% new, you can go the 400cc style route and get a N400, R3 or my fave KTM RC390 which is what I started with at 44 I think.

Built engine '22 with 7k miles. I'll keep it as long as it runs! Love the grom.

[@314_Grom]

I love my Grom ! I have just purchased a 2018 and it will run 60 tucked and twisted tight, lol. I like the 25’s too. Thanks for all you do.

[@morgantalbert7103]

Groms are da bomb! I bought a 2022 with ABS, after watching your review from the bike you used from Huntington Beach Honda. I am loving my 155+ mpgs. Stay the course. And thanks for the footage.

[@PetroHead]

Awesome! (Honda.. you reading this? lol)

[@morgantalbert7103]

@@PetroHead If you had any influence with Honda, I would love it if they were to bring the CBR250RR to the US with the white rims and white body and silver body with the blue accents. IMO, it is the best-looking motorcycle they make. Currently I own four Honda motorcycles. If they were to release that here, I would buy it 100%.

[@Backtothehat]

Had a 2019 GROM. Used it to learn how to ride. Love the GROM. Wish I had the space to keep it. Last gen looked better, though… in my opinion…

Awesome! Thanks for the video.

Great video mate.

[@sikknastyy3907]

Been daily riding my 2023 Grom for about a month now. Absolutely love it. Couple of “power” mods to wake it up a bit and it’s the perfect daily commuter bike.

[@meriwetherwright7779]

What mods did you make?

[@Papa_Charlie69]

Good stuff brother. Are you from Alabama area? I rock a Grom and my family and I love that Buc-ee’s!

I was invited by Honda for the press event.

[@jessbailey6718]

What’s kinda mpg and range?

[@Brahwtf]

What’s your weight??

[@PetroHead]

A man never reveals his weight.

[@CrunchDramaNetwork]

I almost bought one but figured I would want to upgrade after a year.

[@stevenjackson5541]

There is no upgrade mini bike this is the pinnacle. Unless you meant buy a real motorcycle in 1 year. This is not a motorcycle it’s a scooter that looks cool.

[@agungh1670]

Try daytona engine swap

[@NegativeSum]

​​@@stevenjackson5541It's classified as a motorcycle, it says so in the title and dmv. It has the engine in the center, unlike a scooter.Therefore, it's a motorcycle, just like the Honda 50 was many years ago. It's a mini motorcycle, that's true, but a motorcycle non-the-less. Larger bike riders hate to be associated with them, but it is what it is🤷🏾‍♂️. Edit: Just took a peak at your channel, and it confirmed what I said about larger bike riders not liking the fact that the Grom is a motorcycle. Besides, the Grom isn't our primary bike most of the time, we own larger bike too.

[@PetroHead]

I can confirm at the press event that the Grom is usually a second bike. Honda knows its customer base very well.

[@CrunchDramaNetwork]

@PetroHead I could definitely see it as the best beginner bike out there. It's something I would buy my son when he turns 16 and is able to drive legally

[@voodoocreek6219]

Isn't the fuel injection new?

[@after40california]

Excellent ❤🎉

[@newmobile1455]

I have been leaning on the Honda XR150L but I think I will get the grom being an E bike rider I just want a little bit more speed

[@charkswitlazers]

Anyone having issues with the transmission making noises on long rides? That's the only thing that has kept me from buying one since the 5 speed came out.

[@supericeman1]

I heard the ecu tuning is different on the 25, correct me if I'm wrong.

[@specter5169]

what is the top speed on the 2025 ?

[@SteveBenton-q7h]

There bad ass Grom Bikes. Wish they were 400 sized motors.

[@dancor8380]

How do you carry groceries? Ahh, probably shopping for pickles 😂

[@judger9941]

There’s carry bags you can put on it

[@PetroHead]

Homie thinks Im asking people to shop for a family of 4 on this scooter… LOL.. the other day, I drove to the market for a a bag of chips.. hey I had a craving but these Groms are designed for this kinda stuff.

[@MiamiElectrix]

so I was told for a beginner bike to get a 250cc the grom is a 125cc rite...what's top speed

[@T25de]

Depends on rider weight but your going to be around 60/65

[@MiamiElectrix]

@T25de im 188

[@chengsgroup2518]

I will buy one when I get out of my homeless situation under the bridge

[@carsondonaldson6636]

Eesh

[@burn1gotbeats]

Good luck

[@Ody-up6kg]

Cool little bike! But, I am sure it would be much better with 16" wheels on it. It certainly has the clearance for them.

[@ObiJ3ff]

What is the maximum weight you can have on this 2025 honda grom?

[@MireVoid]

Unsure what answer your looking for exactly but I've got a 2023 grom and can still hit 60mph fully tucked and I weigh about 240

[@bfarm44]

Like the new plastics but it still needs bar risers, a bride seat and the ever present waste of metal the exhaust need the recycle heap. Have the z125pro in turqoise and it’s a lot of fun but I think the plastics give this the look I prefer over the last two iterations. Be fun to build up another mini moto it’s not like they take up space

[@mrgreen_photography]

SF still looks the best

[@FRJohnny777]

bummed you couldnt make the race but it was good to race with you in other conditions lol

[@DB6904.]

Hi Hi, I'm reading mixed reviews on this question but is the 2025 Honda Grom a bit more powerful than the previous years?

[@pedrojoseismael]

No

[@Supergh0stTV]

It is more powerful if you’ve lost weight from the previous years. But if you’ve gotten fat, it’s less powerful.

[@Greenfarmer25]

I'm torn between this and the honda 150xrl

I wanna know this too 😂

[@el_chicano2097]

Hopefully will find out tomorrow 😁 ​@Ivaj666

[@dw0095]

4 speed is superior and here's why. No reason to have an extra shift just to end up at the same top speed.

[@PetroHead]

It’s for fuel efficiency.

[@dw0095]

@@PetroHead I could see that, but I also personally enjoy my 4-speed for drivability

[@PetroHead]

@@dw0095 You can stay in 4th gear when you ride. Getting into 5th gear is optional but you already know that.

[@mirchiboyz]

Last couple years, the Groms had a gear bushing issue. Cb300r also had transmission issues. Maybe it's a small percentage of bikes and hopefully Honda fixed the issues with 2025 bikes. Do your research and buy a Kawasaki 😅

[@jimstenlund6017]

Probably needs heavier oil than the recommended 10w30.

[@mirchiboyz]

​@@jimstenlund6017 Probably right. Also need to put that reliability back into Honda

[@pedrojoseismael]

​@@mirchiboyzthat is absolutely false, there was no gear problem in the grom, you just spread lies without knowing

[@pedrojoseismael]

​@@jimstenlund6017Another stupid thing, do you think you know more than Honda engineers? well no, you don't know anything

[@jimstenlund6017]

@@pedrojoseismael I know that Honda does stupid things sometimes, yes. Air-cooled engines have always used heavier oil in high temps; Hondas aren’t magically exempt from high temps causing oil to thin-out.

[@Edsdrafts]

Interesting bike but pricing is 2x in Europe making it unreasonably expensive for what it is.

[@pedrojoseismael]

It shows that you don't have a grom, in Europe everything is more expensive, not just a motorcycle

[@pedrojoseismael]

The Honda Grom is a 125 cc motorcycle of the highest quality, does it seem expensive to you? You don't know anything about motorcycles, buy a Chinese motorcycle of terrible quality and don't talk nonsense.

[@KevinLam86]

I wonder if they addressed the problem with the engine.

[@rogerrtewwr4723]

what problem

[@KevinLam86]

@@rogerrtewwr4723 I've read people were having engine/ transmission issues.

[@T25de]

@@KevinLam86there was oil starvation issues if you wheelie a lot but they had aftermarket fixes and I think they made it OEM on some later models . I have heard of any engine issues other than that myself. Sort of new to groms so take that with a grain of salr

[@bfarm44]

Yeah ima grab me a blue one

[@girlinagale]

Basically a small supermoto.

[@KROWARIZONA]

My 2017 Grom started bogging and losing power out of the nothing. Then I checked my air filter (it was normal), spark plug (normal), and valves (normal). I looked at my fuel filter and it was disintegrated completely. I ended up changing it, but the bogging issue was still there. Then I cleaned the fuel injector and it got better but still bogging and losing power in around 6k rpm. Is it happening or happened with someone else?

[@BradTheBarber1]

Yup, same thing happened to mine. Needed a full rebuild. Paid $1,360 for parts and labor. Good luck.
