I have a ducati monster, and a few classic bikes, and my 19' monkey and 22' grom are by far the funnest bikes I have. There is nothing better then running mundane errands around town with the mini motos. Being able to go WOT through 4-5 gears and still do the speed limit while getting 100+ MPG when gas is $4+ a gallon is fantastic. And the best part is, there is so much aftermarket support with them, that if you do get bored, slap on a new ECU tune, or slap on a different exhaust, or slap on some different wheels and tires, it's truly endless. It's just like the saying for a car says "its more fun to drive a slow car fast then drive a fast car slow".

The Monkey has a more vintage cruiser vibe feel to it. Meanwhile the Grom feels more refined, and it handles a little better, it really likes being pushed in corners. So if you're in a "I'm going to take the long twisty way" kinda mood, the Grom. If you're in a "Lets blast some Led Zeppelin" kinda mood, the Monkey takes the cake that day.

This Daily Rider episode pointed out one shortcoming of the format for me. Since Zack shoots almost exclusively in first person POV we don't get to see how he sits on the bike from a decent angle like a side-view. It would help to get a better idea of the riding position, seat height, and fit if he did that. One KZitemr, Mark Pulling, uses a similar format to Daily Rider but always includes a shot of him sitting on the bike from the side - which I really appreciate since he happens to be the same height as me.

I obtained my motorcycle license in 1976 and over the years I've owned in order a Can-Am 125 enduro, a Can-Am 370 MX bike, a Husqvarna CR430, a Suzuki DR 400, a Kawasaki 350 triple two stroke, the original iteration of the GSXR 750, a Yamaha Vino 125 scooter, a Vespa GTS 250 and I now drive a Grom. For my current requirements the Grom is just about perfect. I live in Edmonton Alberta on the Canadian Prairies where the speed limits in the city max out at 80 kph. The municipal governement is very aggressive with photo radar so almost no one speeds. I rarely feel as though I need more power to keep up anywhere in the city. The top box I added is rather small so repeat trips to the grocery store can be required. I'm OK with that. When I park beside the bicycles on the sidewalk, no one gives me the stink eye. I'm guessing the reaction would be very different for a Harley or a Ducati rocket ship. I recently installed a T-Rex Racing center stand and to do so I used the elevator in my building so I could do the work on my living room floor. I just didn't want to lay on my back on the concrete in my parkade and the Grom's diminutive stature made it easy to avoid. The Grom provides buckets of fun and it would be very difficult to find a motocycle that has a lower total cost of operation.

I've had an og msx from new and even though I've ridden a lot of bikes over the years - and still own some nice ones - there is something very special about these little bikes. You can just drop on it and go without any messing about or planning or any of the usual stuff and even when you're really on it you can throw it into a wet corner and even if the front slides its easy as pie to get it back. Because of that it makes it completely worry free. You're never thinking about grip levels or surfaces because it doesn't matter a d4mn - you just deal with it and bully the bike back up if it slides. Wheelies, stoppies - all easy. On top of all that mine has never been below 100mpg even wringing its neck and has been as high as 150mpg (UK) when just using it to pop to the shops and general low speed stuff. Everything is ultra cheap - tyres, chain, spares etc and even mods aren't silly unless you go for the full branded stuff you really don't need on a bike that realistically does 50-60mph flat out. Sometimes my busa is fun but sometimes I just want a bike that lets me enjoy a ride without a care in the world and the MSX/Grom is that bike.

Let me turn in a micro review. I've had precisely the same grom for a year or so and I must say I don't regret getting it after my PCX Honda scooter. It is less comfortable, less practical than PCX, but it is a motorcycle, with pegs, tank between your legs, you shift gears, I love riding motorcycles, and this is a motorcycle. It is so incredibly comfy when it comes to ergonometry. No issues there. It is not too unstable at higher speeds, you just have to keep things balanced, calm inputs, no madness. Then it doesn't matter that the wheels are only 12 inches. But thanks to the size of the wheels, of course, it is super responsive, playful, fun... Compared to my bigger honda, it is a toy when it comes to everyday riding, but it is not a dangerous toy, not a mad toy, not irresponsible to ride on public roads. Just ride the grom responsibly, don't do anything crazy and you are riding a serious motorcycle, so the way you ride really matters even with this tiny bike. Oh and the power, just a 125 cc bike, that's all. You can keep up in traffic in towns easily. Out of town, you have to be careful and anticipate and let aggressive people pass you safely.

I am very interested in the upcoming XR150L. A very simple and responsive direct acting carb, super easy to access valves to adjust, comfy seat, huge fuel range, and a luggage rack AND Honda reliability. Not great power or suspension specs but I want to get one and do a ridiculous adventure tour. I'm Inspired by Ed March and Zak and Ari's awesome adventures on small bikes.
I work at a Harley Honda BMW dealership. One mechanic has two Groms. The Honda mechanic has one. I just bought my second one today. We all daily ride them to work.

I am Japanese. GROM owns the 2013 model Pearl Queen Bee Yellow. The 2022 model body color of this Japanese specification is only silver and black, and I think that the US and UK specifications have a pearl queen bee yellow color. I will buy it if the color is restored.

I built a 1972 Honda CL70 that's stretched with a 12hp dirtbike engine. It has a luggage rack on the back and it still weighs about 100lbs less than a Grom. I look at the Groms with envy of their huge aftermarket support but I'm stuck in my carbureted ways.

I've had my 22' Grom SP for almost a year now, about 1500 miles on it, use it for twisty roads and going to work. Super cheap to maintain and parts are cheap. Shout out to anyone in or near Ventura County, Calif that wants to ride.

I have a 22 Monkey and while I don't need highway speed stock you really need to be on 45mph roads or less. Any sort of hill or headwind and you lose speed and no one does the speed limit so... Great for neighborhood roads and town/city. Easy to work on an mod, exhaust, intake, camshaft and tune will net you 11-12hp to the wheels which is a huge difference.

While so many people laugh about these bikes, usually people laugh even more when they ride them. Great little bikes that are perfect for small island living where the top speed limit on island is 60 kph. In the US where everything is spread out and speed limits are so much higher it can be silly. Still worth it for some but not everyone. Truly perfect for an island though.

It's okay to learn on, and definitely a budget bike, but not being legally allowed on all roads is a major step down. In cities it might work pretty nicely, not a whole lot of time to build speed... in rural areas, you basically either have to use the interstates and highways, or you have to leave an hour early so you can take all of the connecting backroads to get there in time.

I didn't have a great experience after i bought a kawasaki z125 which is basically the same , it could only do about 75-80 kph , i was so disappointed i sold it and bought a used derbi atlantis 2 stroke scooter for a grand spent 600 on a 70 cc cylinder , exhaust and clutch kit , now i can go 105-110 kph and keep up with traffic . cool sound at 10,000 rpm .

I bought a used MSX (Grom) in Thailand for $700. It had about 800 miles on it and was in perfect condition. I've since put a big bore kit in it using locally (cheap) available components and it screams. I run sprockets 14-35 for better low end since I usually drive in metro areas. I installed a 12 O'clock speedometer correction device in it and that works perfectly too. These are great little bikes for commuting and local travels. These bikes can be had for an excellent price in Thailand.

Bought my grom this year and put almost 3k miles on it! Not a new rider either. Biggest bike I own now is a sv1000. The grom is so much more fun! Also took it to the local go kart track, that was the most fun I've had on two wheels yet! So many more go kart track than full size tracks out there!

The reason for the disparity in MPGs might be that the onboard computer is programmed using the larger (~4.5L) Imperial gallon instead of US gallons. Prior to the metric system, Imperial gallons were commonly used in much of the world.
