Grom suits taller riders, Z suits shorter riders(handlebar to knee clearance). Grom has better brakes, Z has better suspension. Grom has bigger tires and lower footpegs, Z has smaller tires and higher footpegs. Grom has the top end, Z has the bottom end. Both have plenty of after market parts now and so all you need to do is go and see which one fits you better really. These bikes don't stay stock for long so choose your flavor and go and have fun.

D4W_OG DirtyPete agree 100% coming from motocross scene, ill take a kx450 before crf450 all day. In fact honda is last on my likings when it comes to dirtbikes.
I'm only 5ft 120 lbs and I've always wanted to ride but the bikes have always just been far too gigantic for me to safely operate one. I gave up on ever having one until I heard about these two-- this was an awesome and super helpful comparison video!! :)
@@EP-pg3xs- You never tell people, Especially new riders, to lower their bike. That make the bike dangerous to ride. The bike would not function as it should. And it is a waste of money and time. And the bike is to heavy and big, to learn on. Learn on a 50cc - 125cc. And become a better rider, faster. On a bigger bike, most will never be a good rider. Just look at the statistics on how many die, because they have to keep up with traffic on a big bike. The fast bike don’t make you a better rider. It makes it much harder, in some cases, impossible to learn. Most crash or almost crash, and stop riding. Or just give up before they really tried.
my place used to sell z130 scooter for 1200 10 years ago. that one has full cluster speedo u prob only find on a goldwing LOL. even the gear lights are horizontal across and they have separate for speedo tacho and lights inficator.only thing missing is radiators(its air cooled lol)
@@neonafterglow4451- That is not the point with bike’s. Riding fast on a bike, is for the track. Not the roads. That is what makes most people stop riding, very quickly and often permanently. You have fast riders, but not many old fast riders… You have get really good at riding slow, before riding fast. A bike don’t even need you to go fast. But it is hard to learn how to ride slow. That is how you learn how to become a good rider. Not by riding fast.
I have a Z125, and my son has a Grom. I think the Z is more comfortable. But they are both a ton of fun. Reminds me of being a kid and just having fun like when you used to go to the go kart track when you were a kid. Change the oil one or two times a year is the only major thing you need to do.
Very nice video. The comparison is awesome. You're giving a real time visual of both bikes at the same time. Good editing as the video is not too long or filled with things we don't need to know. Much appreciated
I'm 240 lbs and I love my 2023 Grom The most annoying issue so far has just been the stock chain. It keeps getting loose and I have adjusted it maybe 5 times in 3,400 miles
I bought my z because I could get one $800 cheaper than a grom and that goes a long way in mods. Also I dont like the stock grom seat forcing my crotch right into the tank. Z seat is more versatile. Plus I prefer the analog tachometer.
I put that Noi slim seat on my z. Lowered seat height of about 1 1/2 INCH LOWER. Which makes the bars feel taller, really close to the way a 140L rides.
If u looked u could have gotten a 2015 model that has way more room then the new Style i went out and bought a 2015 model new in 2016 right when they are coming out with the new style for the groms don't care for the new style you're stuck in that position like the old style your stretch back cuz I'm 6 foot 1 and need the room I've sat on the new styles don't care for them much
I've been trying to talk myself out of a Grom since they first went on the market... But now that I've seen a Z125, I think I like the gauge cluster better, for whatever that is worth. Now I have to talk myself out of either a Z125 or a Grom. I've never met a person who had a Grom who had anything bad to say about it.
Oddman1980 I totally understand brother, there’s so much that tends to prioritize things. Hope you can compete ur projects and get back to the hunt ( summertime weather is the time to be having fun with one of these things LOL )
ok ok, so I'm looking to get start riding in the spring. I live in Halifax (Canada) now, so I'm waiting for the spring. Halifax does have a lot of potholes. would one of these bikes be good for starters?
how about avoid altercation at all costs...if someone is willing to pull a gun because they got angry driving, they're probably willing to fire it. Why charge the situation by showing him your own? just disengage, don't get involved
I have ridden stock Grom and Z also a z with the hop up kit to make it a 142. I am a Honda guy I like the Grom better but the Z has an adjustable rear shock and an oil pump that won't let you blow the engine up if you wheelie for a long ways 2 things you don't have to change but you do on the Grom. The front shocks are also a little stiffer on the Z. I am 6 foot tall and I don't like the way the tank pokes into my legs on the Z or the new Grom but they are both fun as hell no matter which you get. There's 8 people in our group youngest guy is 29 the oldest guy unfortunately is me 47 buy whichever you like and have fun it's hard not to grip it and twist it ride like hell.🤘👊
embrj145 In Thailand the Kawasaki has been selling 110s of similar stance for well over a decade... those people make them look normal sized... especially when riding four or five family members on each one (not joking).
ive got a z125 and its been the most fun smaller bike ive been on. mines still stock but i bought it new from a dealer (3 miles on odo at purchase) ive put 1400 miles on it since purchase and its been amazing ever since
i bought a 2018 z125 off of some kid on craigslist for $2,300 with a stunt cage and sub cage. i was going to buy a grom but then i learned that the z125 has an actual oil filter and you dont have to take the case off to do an oil change and they dont starve for oil when you wheelie them... they both have their pros and cons like the grom make more power is slightly faster and has better brakes but the z has a better stock suspension gear indicator the stuff i mentioned before but o will have ti say that the grom sf looks a fuck ton better but the oil change on the z was definetly a deciding factor for me. but at the end of the day, they are both great bikes
I have 2017 version of Grom. I take it to garage for oil change but I never see the mechanic take to case off to do an oil change. Also, in another video in youtube, a guy showing how to do an oil change (for the first time) he shows the crap on the filter... I was only glancing at the video and listening with half an ear so I'm not sure if that was "and actual oil filter" - but if it wasn't, what then WHAT was it?
the Honda Grom is like the Honda Civic for the motorcycle world. Small, lightweight, fuel efficient, not very powerful. But theres a FUCKTON of Aftermarket for it B)
I love both bikes but in terms of price I'll go with the Z plus the Z look more like a mini sportbike...out the door the Z was way cheaper or probably the dealership I went to was excessive on the price but I'll keep shopping around..I hope I get one before the summer is over cause I'm looking forward to take a ride to key west 😃
A few weeks ago i had the cam & piston kit installed on the Z125 pro and woah, that thing moves pretty good on take offs, red line in third easy and about 9500 rpm in 4th, it even pulls pretty good in 4th this is with a 28 tooth rear sprocket well also exhaust, intake. I do recommend it And change your spark plug to a cr8hsa if you do these mods but that may depend on your location
you awnserd a question i needed to pull the trigger im looking at the 2020 for 3,659 i just am not sure on what color, love the videos cant wait to get into the grom life
Kawasaki is faster and better quality all the way around specially all the new kawasaki bikes are burning the bike market. Is just we have stupid fanatics that are used to the " other brands" but kawasaki bikes are wayyyyy under rated.
I bought the slim seat or low profile seat from steady garage. Its comfy as any other seat and now i sit more upright and i added 1/2 inch bar risers now it feels like a dirtbike
Block, i'd love for you to test ride more non-harley bikes, maybe find some that pique your interests such as the Triumph Street/Speed triples, dunno if you like those bikes or not but i figured it would be nice to start doing more of that
Don't forget the Smokey Mountain Crawl up here in TN. Every June we have over 1000 groms and Z's on the road. We just took ours to the Dragon. Super fun on the Dragon!!
BLOCKHEAD check my bike out they have just become popular in the USA and I’m sure it could help your channel as I don’t think any big motovlogger like your self in the USA has had heir hands on it yet.
Excellent reviews! I go to Bike Nights at the Ace on Thursdays, so if I see yall out there I'll say whatsup! I'm currently on a 2007 ZX10R, but I'm tempted to scoop a Z125 as they look like a blast.
Hey Blockhead! Great review/comparison :) I was also wondering how you got the communicator audio recorded for your vlog? Thanks and stay safe out there! :)
im 55 seconds in, and let me say god damn the quality of this video is sooo amazing i had to give credit, im watching on msi gaming lap top nothing special, and it feels like im there myself, sheesh what was this shot in god eyes 10k or something haha.
Wait what? $1k difference? I thought there was only like a $200 disparity between the msrp of the bikes (yes, I know about all the extra fees that dealerships tack on, but I can't figure out how that translates to such a massive difference in TTL prices).
At least it is the case in Thailand, where both Grom and Kawasaki are made; Kawasaki is actually the more expensive one. Perhaps it is to do with the import costs of Kawasaki or because Kawasaki has not yet got the same name recognition as a reliable make. Honda just goes on and on... Although, after a fall (sliding across the road) mine wouldn't start for a while afterwards. But when it did, it ran like nothing had happened and the only sign is the scratch marks on paint of the the casket and stock exhaust. And of course the sticking out indicators were broken. (It's not been moded but thinking of getting rid of the tail fender.)
Interesting. I was thinking for a long time which one of these I would buy, but I went for Honda because of two reasons: Grom (2017 model from Thailand) was $300 cheaper and the seat is low enough for me to put both of my feet flat on the ground, whereas with Kawazaki I could only touch the ground with my touch. (I'm a shortass, so that was one important factor when choosing a bike for sitting in traffic jam for most of my commute.) P.s. There is no noticeable difference between the seats over here; if anything it is the Kawasaki that has more dipped seat.
Better and safer to have one foot on the back break, when you stop. Then you want slide backwards, if you stop on a step hill. And can prevent you from getting more hurt if another vehicle hit you from behind.
There is an abundant amount of upgrades for the z125 , taillights , fender deletes , exhaust systems, intakes, Tuners , engine bore kits Not sure where your looking for parts , grom has more forsure , but there’s tons for the z125 as well
I know this is an old video but at 5-8 and 236 I was wondering how either of these would hold up, I love nimble bikes as I ride a sporty with a 1200 kit regularly but these look Awesome did around town
we’re about the same size and i’ve ridden my buddies grom before and it held up really well, it struggled uphill but that’s really it! never ridden a z125 but i’d imagine the same. They’re more for around town havin fun tho so it’s still worth it for sure
Great video and info guys!! What do both of these bikes cost used down in your area? Maybe like a year or so old low miles? The reason I ask my son starts to drive soon and I may surprise him with one of them I have a GXR 750 and I really want him to go riding with me and I want to help teach him and after he gets a little experience under his belt we will take a cross-country ride maybe to Vegas or something!! Thank you guys!!👍💯 BTW I started out on the Kawasaki 250 ninja!! 😂!! Lastly what are you guys using to talk to each other? Thanks bro
@@toqir-dar- Senna or Cardo. Think he use a audio recorder, and makes the video on his computer. That is not how most people start. I think about getting a 360 cam. Because the GoPro and other action cams are so bad. Don’t buy to much, before you done it for some years. Because is a hard job to make videos. And you probably are not going to do it much. Even some of the people, doing it for a living. Are not making lots of them. So don’t waste your money.

Is it basically necessary to get aftermarket parts for these bikes or are they still pretty good without mods?

this is the primary reason I wanna get one' ( I hear the grom needs a aftermarket oil pump device to prevent oil starvation during wheelies ? )

Yea ... It was founded there sooo
I didn’t know sorry m8 for offending the ace cafe
No reason to apologise 🤷🏼♂️ just something i thought you should know
Yup, Ace Cafe original location founded in England! We have the one other one in the world here in Orlando, pretty cool!
BLOCKHEAD ah sweet man
Don't forget the Smokey Mountain Crawl up here in TN. Every June we have over 1000 groms and Z's on the road. We just took ours to the Dragon. Super fun on the Dragon!!
tat2 wheelz what time of the year does this happen
You should compare a benelli tnt 135. I own the tnt 125 and they are awesome bikes 👌
Don't know anyone that owns one locally, but I'll keep my eyes peeled!
BLOCKHEAD check my bike out they have just become popular in the USA and I’m sure it could help your channel as I don’t think any big motovlogger like your self in the USA has had heir hands on it yet.
Excellent reviews! I go to Bike Nights at the Ace on Thursdays, so if I see yall out there I'll say whatsup! I'm currently on a 2007 ZX10R, but I'm tempted to scoop a Z125 as they look like a blast.
Beautiful scenery! What time of the year was this recorded? Where is this? I want to go there... Orlando?
Hey Blockhead! Great review/comparison :) I was also wondering how you got the communicator audio recorded for your vlog? Thanks and stay safe out there! :)
All I wanna know is how much is insurance (liability) for one of these?
Liability 2020 grom, 100 usd for the year in Texas
M666 how bad on insurance
do you think it’ll be for a first vehicle
Do they have a digital gas gauge on the instrument cluster or is it "been a minute since my last fill up, it probably time to get gas"?
They both have gas gages. Digital.
@blockhead what tires do you have on the Grom
The Grom looks so fun! I wonder if they would ever make a mini Bobber? I guess the Rebel 300 is smaller but it's not Grom small lol
Great Video! Im leaning toward the grom and this video made up my mind!
i was on a grom during my m2 course and it felt like i was on a clown bike. it was amazing
im 55 seconds in, and let me say god damn the quality of this video is sooo amazing i had to give credit, im watching on msi gaming lap top nothing special, and it feels like im there myself, sheesh what was this shot in god eyes 10k or something haha.
How would you say the after market is now for the z 125 now that is 4 years later?
So I’m 6’6 280 are either of these a realistic option for me
Probably would be to small
David Cowell I figured but a big guy can dream
@@biggrizzlycards3205 lol,,, you may be able to ride the Z 125 , it's a little taller it seems.
Wait what? $1k difference? I thought there was only like a $200 disparity between the msrp of the bikes (yes, I know about all the extra fees that dealerships tack on, but I can't figure out how that translates to such a massive difference in TTL prices).
At least it is the case in Thailand, where both Grom and Kawasaki are made; Kawasaki is actually the more expensive one. Perhaps it is to do with the import costs of Kawasaki or because Kawasaki has not yet got the same name recognition as a reliable make. Honda just goes on and on... Although, after a fall (sliding across the road) mine wouldn't start for a while afterwards. But when it did, it ran like nothing had happened and the only sign is the scratch marks on paint of the the casket and stock exhaust. And of course the sticking out indicators were broken. (It's not been moded but thinking of getting rid of the tail fender.)
Everyone is like the grom the z, and I’m just like nice dixxon bro. Lol great video, hoping to get a couple of these soon to rip with my son
I seen you around Orlando! Love the video, looking into a Grom.
Excellent comparison blockhead ✌✌✌💪💪💪💪
Thanks!
Grom is the OG. Will forever be my pick
Getting a halo light for my z125
Kawasaki knows how to make a bike. Great comparison video
Hey @blockhead what kind of camera r u using?
Interesting. I was thinking for a long time which one of these I would buy, but I went for Honda because of two reasons: Grom (2017 model from Thailand) was $300 cheaper and the seat is low enough for me to put both of my feet flat on the ground, whereas with Kawazaki I could only touch the ground with my touch. (I'm a shortass, so that was one important factor when choosing a bike for sitting in traffic jam for most of my commute.)
P.s. There is no noticeable difference between the seats over here; if anything it is the Kawasaki that has more dipped seat.
Better and safer to have one foot on the back break, when you stop.
Then you want slide backwards, if you stop on a step hill. And can prevent you from getting more hurt if another vehicle hit you from behind.
Hey Blockhead, what kinda of bad end adapters are you using?
There is an abundant amount of upgrades for the z125 , taillights , fender deletes , exhaust systems, intakes, Tuners , engine bore kits
Not sure where your looking for parts , grom has more forsure , but there’s tons for the z125 as well
Do you have a website by chance
Dang, 4 years later and the Grom is 1k more out the door
Man those tires on the grom are rad what are those?
Awesome vs video 😎 plus Orlando hype woo go Grinadeers ( missed spelled sorry)
Can these be driven on a Interstate?
Do they have cruise?
What kind of head sets do you guys use?
Love the video bro that’s a awesome detailed I was not sure which one to buy but you made it clear for me I hate Honda so z125 is for me
Are they both about the same speed? And does the kawasaki have a community as big as the honda?
What’s your thoughts on the Benelli tnt125?
Chinese
yep after watching this im going to get the z125 amazing video!
I'm in orlando also do you still have the z125 mirrors?
anybody else see the green sign change at 9:30
I know this is an old video but at 5-8 and 236 I was wondering how either of these would hold up, I love nimble bikes as I ride a sporty with a 1200 kit regularly but these look
Awesome did around town
Hold up with what?
we’re about the same size and i’ve ridden my buddies grom before and it held up really well, it struggled uphill but that’s really it! never ridden a z125 but i’d imagine the same. They’re more for around town havin fun tho so it’s still worth it for sure
Great video and info guys!! What do both of these bikes cost used down in your area? Maybe like a year or so old low miles? The reason I ask my son starts to drive soon and I may surprise him with one of them I have a GXR 750 and I really want him to go riding with me and I want to help teach him and after he gets a little experience under his belt we will take a cross-country ride maybe to Vegas or something!! Thank you guys!!👍💯 BTW I started out on the Kawasaki 250 ninja!! 😂!! Lastly what are you guys using to talk to each other? Thanks bro
Yes, in the same position with my son. Plus I’m interested in how they were talking to each other and how it was recorded on to their camera.
@@toqir-dar- Senna or Cardo. Think he use a audio recorder, and makes the video on his computer.
That is not how most people start.
I think about getting a 360 cam. Because the GoPro and other action cams are so bad.
Don’t buy to much, before you done it for some years. Because is a hard job to make videos. And you probably are not going to do it much.
Even some of the people, doing it for a living. Are not making lots of them.
So don’t waste your money.
Good job bro
where did he pick up the z125 for 2800??
Love my grom but i would also love a z125!!!
Sadly it’s not available in Europe
Yeah we only have the regular Z125 and the 125 ninja.
How does a grom cost here in Europe ? Is it worth ?
Which one has the best clutch, transmission?
I get my 22 tomorrow cannot wait
This vid is good but 3yrs old. Parts availability has greatly improved for Z125.
2023 Grom or Z ???
Looking to buy one this year
Is that in orlando fl?
had a pocket rocket when i was younger im lookin at a 2017 honda
I think I have to say that anybody whose ridden alot knows what gear their in if they know their bike
