One Year With a Honda Grom | Owner's Review

If you're thinking about buying a Honda Grom (MSX125), then this is the review that you have to watch! I will go over everything you need to know about this little bike in the ONE year that I have owned it!

I'm a big fan of long-term and real world reviews over first impressions. The Honda Grom is a bike that's easy to fall in love with after watching Youtuber's like Fooligan and his epic wheelies. But how is owning the Grom after spending the money and going past the honey moon phase? I give you guy's a complete owners review, in-depth walkaround, and riding experience with my 2015 Grom. I talk about modifications for the bike as well as show you the stock features of the bike that it comes with new. I also talk about the top speed, reliability, maintenance costs, and insurance/payments, etc.

Buying a Honda Grom isn't what I would consider cheap. So how does it make for a good first motorcycle? I give you guys my thoughts about dropping the money on a new Grom and whether it MAY or MAY NOT be the right bike for you. The Grom makes for a great stunt bike, mini-track bike, or just an all around commuter. The gas mileage (MPG) is ridiculously good. It may be a goofy looking pit bike on steroids, but with the right mods, it can look awesome!

This is a long video, so sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!

I’ll be 50 next month! I took the state safety course and got my mc license with my youngest son. Buying the blue raspberry 2019 Grom tomorrow. I’m 5’2” and 118 lbs. It fits me perfect!!

Liability insurance? Haha with a bike like that if you hit someone all they will have to do is turn on their windshield wipers to scrape you off. Looks like a really fun bike

"Got multiple speeding tickets on my Grom" -no one ever

My son found a 2018 Grom at a garage sale for $500... Neglected, left outside, He replaced the fuel pump. Cleaned the tank with acid and gravel. Rewired all the after market lighting. and WOW! I find it to be a blast! And, I own a 2015 Honda VT1300CT Interstate! SON just bought a HONDA NAVI for his wife. I added a 2008 KYMCO People 200 to my collection so we can go out on country roads together. (I'm 72)

Good review, the reason I even got into groms is because of fooligan. I love this thing I wish I would have bought one like 4 years ago lol. Nothing but pure fun when riding it. I just hit 2000 miles last weekend, owned it since October.

"Motorcycles are dangerous"
No. Only when you do sign language while riding one.

You'll learn wheelies really quick if your not afraid to crash

[partyplace]

The Grom is the BEST starter bike. You'll learn to work on it, you'll dump it, and you'll keep it forever because of how fun it is.

I’m almost 69 years old and have ridden my 2023 grom 6300 miles since August 29 th 2023 . It’s a blast ! I’ve ridden most of my life .

Imagine just seeing a person on one of those going no hands to do hand gestures

I got mine new for under 4K. I also paid it in full. I also get 115 MPG on mine. So far I have paid for 1/8 of the bike in just gas saving vs driving my 03 ranger.

Great review. Really the point everyone has to understand is what is the purpose of buying a low cc bike. I got my 2017 grom brand new, a few months ago and I absolutely love it. I've not owned a bike before I bought my grom but I've experience riding 600cc sport bikes and 1200cc cruisers. And to be honest I was not looking for power, I was looking for something to get my mind off work and life in general. Many people told to get at least a 500-600 cc bike and that I would be bored fast with 125ccs. But I haven't got bored with it. I love the fact that I take it anywhere and not get in trouble with the cops lol. Groms are fun when you really love it and understand it is not all about power in a tiny bike.

Haha! Seven years after posting this video it's still relevant content! I'm 69 and I just purchased my first motorcycle, the Honda Grom 125AS. 60 miles of absolute fun thus far. The one minor con and easy to fix, the stock mirrors need to go.

[Theflyestfisherman]

Your dead on about fooligan man. Everytime i watch his videos it just looks like every bit of fun that I'm missing in my life

[Stretcher]

Its a honda, keep the air filter clean and at least change your oil and filter once a year and enjoy the ride. Enjoyed the review, you got yours looking good.

im 5'7 and 140 lbs and i think this would be a perfect first bike for me!

[LifesAScript]

LMAO trust me, going from a 1970 Chevy K20 and driving 60 miles total for a daily work drive (To and from added up), you do save enough money that makes the grom's gas mileage amazing. Imagine spending about $40 every two days on gas, versus $2 a week. Big difference. I work 4 days a week, so a total of $80 a week in my K20.

[michaelcoffey]

I personally like the deeper lower exhaust tones vs the screaming high pitched ones.👍🏼

Plain and simple: It's a Honda. You can beat any Honda down to the ground and it'll still run strong.
