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

@@nellieallen1433same here, in my 50's.
Just left the dealership with mine this morning. I'm in love
After watching this video? Just curious if this video had anything to do with that lol
@@PetroHead no i saw this video after I got home tho! It's an amazing bike for me !
Congrats enjoy!
Did they make you sign up for insurance coverage and show proof of motorcycle license?
@@chiefz3d396 no I left went and got my mc permit and insurance right after
Why can't all youtubers make clean videos like this? Liked and subbed!
Alabama looks a dream land, so green, clean and spacious.
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.
Built engine '22 with 7k miles. I'll keep it as long as it runs! Love the grom.

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…
Great video mate.

Awesome! Thanks for the video.

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
I’m Gunna go order a abs model today
There bad ass
Grom Bikes.
Wish they were
400 sized motors.
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.
I heard the ecu tuning is different on the 25, correct me if I'm wrong.
What’s kinda mpg and range?
I almost bought one but figured I would want to upgrade after a year.

Try daytona engine swap

I can confirm at the press event that the Grom is usually a second bike. Honda knows its customer base very well.
@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
Excellent ❤🎉
what is the top speed on the 2025 ?
Cool little bike! But, I am sure it would be much better with 16" wheels on it. It certainly has the clearance for them.
Isn't the fuel injection new?
How do you carry groceries? Ahh, probably shopping for pickles 😂
There’s carry bags you can put on it

What’s your weight??
A man never reveals his weight.
SF still looks the best
so I was told for a beginner bike to get a 250cc the grom is a 125cc rite...what's top speed
I will buy one when I get out of my homeless situation under the bridge
Eesh
Good luck
What is the maximum weight you can have on this 2025 honda grom?
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
Hi Hi, I'm reading mixed reviews on this question but is the 2025 Honda Grom a bit more powerful than the previous years?
No
It is more powerful if you’ve lost weight from the previous years. But if you’ve gotten fat, it’s less powerful.
bummed you couldnt make the race but it was good to race with you in other conditions lol
Fosho! I’m so jealous though! Awesome to meet you 👍
@PetroHead likewise dude. Especially since this was the last year 😪
No more small bore event?
@@PetroHead no 😪 MNNTHBX made a post today about it
I'm torn between this and the honda 150xrl
4 speed is superior and here's why. No reason to have an extra shift just to end up at the same top speed.
It’s for fuel efficiency.
@@PetroHead I could see that, but I also personally enjoy my 4-speed for drivability
@@dw0095 You can stay in 4th gear when you ride. Getting into 5th gear is optional but you already know that.
Anybody in LA area that got one and if so how much OTD
I wanna know this too 😂
Hopefully will find out tomorrow 😁 @Ivaj666
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 😅
Probably needs heavier oil than the recommended 10w30.
@@jimstenlund6017 Probably right. Also need to put that reliability back into Honda
@@mirchiboyzthat is absolutely false, there was no gear problem in the grom, you just spread lies without knowing
@@jimstenlund6017Another stupid thing, do you think you know more than Honda engineers? well no, you don't know anything

Is it happening or happened with someone else?
Yup, same thing happened to mine. Needed a full rebuild. Paid $1,360 for parts and labor. Good luck.
I still think the gen 2 is best looking grom
Interesting bike but pricing is 2x in Europe making it unreasonably expensive for what it is.
It shows that you don't have a grom, in Europe everything is more expensive, not just a motorcycle
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.
Yeah ima grab me a blue one
I wonder if they addressed the problem with the engine.
what problem
@@rogerrtewwr4723 I've read people were having engine/ transmission issues.
piggin hate rain on bikes
Basically a small supermoto.
You were doing great, then all the profanity?
