The Honda Grom is SLOW, Get Over It!

[@AryanDiablo]

It's a lot more fun to ride a slow bike fast than it is to ride a fast bike slow.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

agree with that!

[@jcb0249]

Woah Yeah!

[@danielmcgrath9369]

We can only ride a slow be fast if its got any fast..

Ive owned too many bikes to list, from 50cc to 1200cc. When I first seen the Grom in real life it was bigger "taller" than what I was expecting. For the longest time I was thinking the Grom was much smaller than what it really is. I can reach 60-65ish mph for top speed. My highest local speed limit is 45mph so this works perfect for me. It can hold 50-55mph easy. I ride my Grom more than any other bike that I have in my garage. PLUS for 3$ you can travel around 100miles lol. The Grom is a great bike and once you realize how versatile it can be on and off road just makes it even better. I'm approaching my 2k mile mark soon and I love this bike. I purchased a 2015 Grom (black) with 600miles on it and many mods for around $2500. This is a great bike for me

[@lensperspective9753]

E Curb Did it hold 50-55 easy after mods or before?

[@joebobbyrobot]

It's not a bike to be taken seriously on. Honda did a great job making something cheap and just plain fun to whip around town.

Grom is the Best Bike Ever. It may be slow but the super fun factor way more than makes up for the lack of top speed. I ride mine daily. I have a Harley FXR and a KTM400 and my Grom. The Grom is always the 1st bike I roll out of my shop to ride. Thanks for the video. Well spoken

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Same here, the Grom is always the first bike I want to ride

[@LR0545]

I have a z125 pro. I've had it for more than 1 year and over 10k miles, its my daily and it does the job. School is 25 miles one way, 5 days a week and cheap on gas, like $7 a week. I love it and don't want to get rid of it.

[@apecrzy1640]

ik this is 2 years later but im 14 and im saving up for first street legal bike and your comment gives me good reason.

[@mtlnascarfan]

To clarify.. Compared to larger motorcycles...yes, the Grom is slow. Compared to other bikes of the same size...no, the Grom is NOT slow. And you shouldn't have to justify your choices to anyone but yourself. If you're influenced by what others think about what you ride, you either need to grow a spine and stand up for your decisions, or eliminate them from your life. You're never going to be happy if you live your life according to what others think.

[@ripmax333]

ego is men worst enemy,'' You're never going to be happy if you live your life according to what others think.'' 100% agree with that comment.

Just bought mine Friday and I love it!!! I'm new to riding a motorcycle so this is perfect!!! A bike or a car doesnt need to be fast to be "cool." And I can't wait to do little changes to my bike to make it my own style 😊

I know this vid is a few yrs old but Honda Grom or even a Grom Clone = endless fun. I started of on a Iron 883 but as soon as the Grom hit the market I knew I wanted it. Don’t care about speed, if I wanted that I’d go full on croch rocket. It’s all about the fun in the ride. Stay safe and have plenty fun.

[@simsesworkshop1546]

I paid 3.459,53$ for my grom.. i could easily have bought a kawasaki ninja, my opinion is the Honda Grom is a lot om more fun 🤘🧡people always turn around to look and wave

[@speedbird8987]

I bought mine as a second bike for running around town. Perfect for situations when I don’t want to pull out the FZ09. I love it and look for excuses to ride 😎 And I got an Aodonly exhaust.

[@vong_sak]

Had mine for two years now as my first bike, been up and down a few mountain twisty roads, commute almost everyday on the things so I can say that it is a great way to get into motorcycle for someone who had never ridden one, but I’m starting to feel like I want something more “legitimate”, and the new Honda cb150r and cb300r is looking rather attractive, but I’d still keep my grom because it’s a grom.

[@edgufler1122]

A lot of good insight in this video. Thank you for producing it.

[@gromernaut]

Every biker amigo who first laughed at me getting the GROM stopped laughing at the grom after giving it just a very short ride around the "house" more or less and couldn't stop laughing because they had so much fun even on this little testride ^^

[@whiphore]

I love the way it rides and love the size only reason I’m going for a little more horse power is I like riding it in the mountains and I’d like a little more up hill that’s really it

[@Godsslave777]

Dude wait until you see my grom I bought it brand new one week later custom forks , bars , rearsets ,seat , shock , stretched, lowered, pinstripe paint, carbon fiber tank cover , belly pan , fender , and side panels , custom levers ,led front , and tail light 10k spent on a slow bike and I 😍 love it

[@vicnguyen6809]

Slow bike 🏍??? Are they out of their mind ? For city commute 35-45mph grom can travel along with traffic, for highways commute 45-60mph grom is still can be catch up with traffic...for freeway commute, then yes the grom’s are slow, but my concern, who’s stupid enough purchase the grom for daily/random use on freeways? So for those are complainers, the grom are slow, do your homework before start to complaining....

[@berkk29]

Well i switched the grom from a 115cc yamaha scooter and it felt a lot more faster. Plus i am very light so the bike can make 0-50km (0-30mph) in 2.2 secs. Accelaration is perfect for me and i love it. Yes it is slow but when you move from a scooter it feels fast. It actually can accelarate better than other 125s until 80kmh (50mph)

[@blackkitutjimmy9870]

I'm buyin grom because it's grom. Fun ride 👍🏽

[@Cobsspeedshop]

I have no problems riding my bike back and forth from downtown nampa to meridian everyday and its great

[@davephillips5868]

According to folks who have ridden them both, the new very agile and lightweight Honda CB300R rides and handles like a somewhat bigger and much more powerful Grom. Still not a rocket, but quick up to 65 and with a top speed over 90 mph. Some folks with mechanical ability are sticking used CB300 engines into used Groms. That gives around 25 HP to the light Grom and serious performance for about the price of a new 125. Definitely not for beginners. Me ? When I get my Grom it will be stock and it will be for backroad areas that are not suitable or fun on a 1000.

[@MrPlumloko]

63 stock 88 built there really just perfect. Funnest bike to ride.

[@aaronhayes8429]

In the uk the nation speed limit is 60mph n 70mph on a motorway, I don’t see the Point in getting anything bigger than a 125cc because you can’t use that power

It’s hella fun to ride a slow bike fast. I love my Grom. Looks sick next to my F4i.

[@aeror115]

[@bobgc1954]

Is it "slow" on the twisties compared to any other bike? Will it have to try to overtake other bikers on the twisties? Depends on both riders abilities? Slow from A to B on straight flat or hilly roads, YES.. But maybe not so much in general. Many bicycle riders are held up by motorcycles on tight curves and sharp bends. PS I have FJR, Grom, and BMW1150

[@melaniabladeofmiquella]

Thank you so much for helping me make up my mind with your honesty, guess I'll get something a bit more powerful for now

[@jeremyhindert4384]

I’m about to buy one for my first bike and I’m really into cars and I love going fast and I’m worried that the grom might be too slow and I’ll get bored fast but I also LOVE IT and have wanted one since 2016 when fooligan started posting grom squad vids

[@whoozyyy]

I just got one as my first bike.. Since I drove manual cars since I was a teen, riding the Grom was easy. I stalled randomly once.. but it’s fun, it’s feels fun, yeah I’m not going 100mph but going 50mph on it is pretty fun. Plus you can give it full throttle and not break any laws.

[@davidjones6634]

[@christianfontaine712]

Here s my list, Im 55 years old in the past I own, a Kawasaki S1 Kawasaki H1 2 - Honda CBX six, now I have Suzuki VZ 800 and now I want a grom. It cute it goe off road a bit and thats remeber me the mini trail 70

[@Peep18m]

Nobody buys a grom for speed. They buy it for the fun factor. I will say if you’re not a social person do not buy a grom or clone. Everybody and their mother will be stopping to talk to you about it. Even the old guys will honk and give u a thumbs up. Everybody loves them. The other awesome thing is you can ride it where you can’t ride bigger bikes. Reason for that is some people think it’s a mini bike. I bought a clone and I was surprised at the size. I genuinely was expecting it to be smaller. I’m 190 swapping mine now to get the 5 speed.

[@Nukes25]

I bought my grom brand new last year, it's my first bike, I bought it to start and have fun, I did do a big bore 3 months/ 2000km into ownership, I did it because I got a great deal on the kit, and I like tinkering/ working on my vehicles. I bought an 1100 sport tourer a month ago for a big bike. I still love my grom, it is still comparatively slow, but it is a riot and a blast to ride, and it's funny to see the reactions I get on the road, me being 6'4" on the grom :p Do I regret it, or the money I've put into it? Not at all, I knew it was always going to be slow, but, it's fun to ride, and easy to work on

[@cblancin7244]

Amazing how much people overlook the main question they have to ask themselves when buying anything 'what am I wanting? Speed? Comfort? Etc.' What is the philosophy of use but instead they want to just compare it to bigger bikes. It's apples to vodka shots people, it's a fun little bike or commuter it was never advertised or implied it was a track beast.

[@scuds03]

I have a ridiculous amount of fun on my Grom. Worth every penny. Something about just always being able to flog it and bang every gear WOT at redline with margin for error is fun. On urban streets it’s wayyyy more fun than my liter bike.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I agree man. Love my Grom to death

[@maximilianschmitz1988]

Bought mine a week ago to get comfortable riding a bike. I really like it, except the clutch. Stalled it too often already😅

I got a new one just before Xmas 2022.For me its a back lane little dirt pig that i use to get to work n back daily. My route is flooded,muddy country lanes,i have a rack on it for a big back n i rarely go more than 40 mph. Its ideal for this purpose.Have had 1000 cc in days gone by .If you want to go faster,get s bigger bike!!

[@ShellShock794]

I knew I wanted a Grom but I had EXTREMELY low expectations on the speed and I was actually surprised at how "fast" it accelerates. It's hard to explain to people why I like it so much. Most people don't understand and just kind of look at you like you're stupid and you just have to accept it or let them ride it lol

[@martin2520]

ShellShock794 , i have a 2015 grom with a twin 200mm carbon fibre Delkevic exhaust system and the airbox mod . It does 31 mph in 1st gear , leaves the traffic behind at junctions lol . Not really tried for top speed run but did 67 mph :)

[@jcb0249]

I would have to go through some SERIOUS inner turmoil trying to justify the purchase of a Grom because...

[@melvin5818]

Buying a Grom never makes sense we do it because we want to or like it same reason we install bbks. It's just fun tweaking and fixing this simple motor and squeezing every little ounce of power out of it.

[@danielmcgrath9369]

I bought my Grom for fun,Mods,Polish and max shine.If you want a speed machine,buy a bigger cc bike.The Grom is fun in city traffic,until I do anyting over 80 KPH. That's life,get use to it.

My max speed so far is ..... 45 !! I ride mine a lot - I use it to practice slow speed maneuvers and leaning into curves. I’m going to put knobbies on and use it a little off road. I don’t think I want to go that much faster on that bike geometry with 12” tires

[@ronmendoza4916]

The Grom is perfect at the speed it goes. Want to go faster? Buy a motorcycle with a bigger engine. Don't waste money modding the Grom to go faster than it was intended to go.

[@datingsas]

Thing is people buy hyper bikes like the h2 and zx14r and modify those to go faster. So nothing wrong with modding your grom or z125 to go faster it's just what everybody does to bikes. I have a z1000 and it's modded to go faster. Thing is insane fast.

[@bankfishingislife5484]

i wanted a grom because it is a street legal mini bike. when i was younger there was the ysr 90s or whatever size they were but they were the same street legal mini bikes. there are tons of mini bikes but rarely are they street legal. i rode mine for 4 years straight in cali and then sadly i lost power one day riding to the lake and some white smoke was coming out at around 27k miles or so. i wouldnt mind putting a 250 or 300 in it now but then its about the same price as a new grom. so not sure if i want a new grom. or just to fix the motor and keep it as it is. though i wouldnt mind having a 250 or 300 grom. just because then its a more of a one off mini bike. i loved it in cali though. i lived in a city with a lot of traffic and it made lane splitting super easy. later man.

[@mojoe1824]

They need to give you a option to upgrade from factory.

[@williamkerry2626]

I’d like to add, that yes, the grom is a slow bike. That said, I like to think of the grom as a momentum bike, kinda like the Toyota AE86 is a momentum car. A slow bike can be fast using the momentum to keep speed. Just my 2 cents.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

That's a good way to look at it! I love the AE86

[@bakeot]

I'm not knocking the grom but they want way too much for it so I pick up a boom vader instead such a fun little bike

[@jdogg661420]

the thing about pimping it out with a 300 or 250 swap is dude you have a 250 or 300 minibike.. trust me if I was balling hard I would already have a 300 grom or at least the 250 swap.. there are positives to it... freeway number 1... but ya I got mine used for 2000 to do the swap is probably like 3k or more if I don't do the work myself and if I can even find donor bike cheap ect.. so yes its really hard to spend that kind of cash on a bike that I got for half the cost of the upgrade.. but then it would be a pimped out mini bike that is capable of rolling on the freeway and keeping up with traffic ect though mines rolls at 60 easily on flats with my weight and 50 uphills... honda should have made it 250 6 speed option also... the bad thing besides the expensive motor upgrades is really I don't like the body style of it im more of a sports bike look like the old Yamaha ysr. honda lacks with body option also. and then that tyga kit is expensive!!! lol though the big bikes the mods are a lot more money... so you can pimp out a grom still kinda on the cheapside compared to trying to pimp out that 1000cc..but what options for mini bikes do we really have in America... 0 you got a Japanese grom.. or the Chinese knockoffs which I don't really consider true alternatives to the grom.. all other small cc are crappy scooters... which are a European thing not so much an American thing... the companies fail. part is also because the California carb law... if not for that shit we could have a lot more options in America..

10hp that’s about as much as a classic Harley Davidson board track racer and those would hit 90mph not that you’d want to go that fast on a Grom, but it is possible.

[@Botzz28]

Whatsup Anthony. I’m thinking about getting the aRacer mini 5 for my 2018 grom. I think this will help my bike so much allowing it to adjust air fuel ratio and all that. My question is if this alone will have auto tune. I know the aRacer mini2 needed the AFR module for the auto tune but on drow sports the aRacer mini 5 is Bluetooth to your phone and gas auto tune in the description. Will this alone be able to adjust air fuel ratio and auto tune my bike ? Or will I also need the AFR attachment ?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I don't have much experience with the aracer to be honest

[@Botzz28]

ALLDAYANTHONY I might start at the spark plug. I might go with the NGK cpr7 to run a cooler plug.
