2014 Honda Grom

Anyone seen the new 2014 Honda Grom? Looks like a great commuter bike to me! http://powersports.honda.com/2014/grom.aspx

 

Should be the Hot new Toy!!

 

No thanks... I'd much rather have a dual sport. There's no way in hell I'd ever buy a 125cc road bike and I'm not a big guy.

 

It seems the pre-order lists are getting deeper by the day, these things are going to sell like crazy! Current estimates for gas mileage are about 110 MPG. It only has a top speed of 65 MPH stock but there are tons of mods available since it is being sold as the MSX125 in several other counties. MSRP is $2999 plus $125 destination fee. I am going to test drive one as soon as my local dealer has one in stock but I do plan on purchasing one unless there is something I really don't like about it. I hope I can lift it into the back of the Taco by myself, but I do have a ramp if needed.

 

looks like fun to ride around the neighbor hood and get the mail and go to the local store to get beer and do all sorts of goofy stuff on it.

 

definitely look like fun little run around/play bikes, but I'll stick to a full size street bike for anything more than city streets.

 

eff that, 450 or bigger

 

Drop a 450 in it then you're talking. But may be a hell of a lot easier to fit a 250 2stroke haha. It does look cool though, like a functioning pit bike.

 

I got one its fun as hell

 

Looks hilariously proportioned, who am I kidding I'd ride it!

 

Its a different type of riding only goes 65 but around town I love it. Turns on a dime throw it over easily in corners and best tank ive got was 119 MPG.

 

I've always valued honda for trying new or odd things. I have an 87 tlr200 and it is insanely cool.

 

Just my .02 a 125 is way too small for a street bike. My wife rides a Ninja 250 with a pipe and stage 2 carb kit and it still feels anemic. I can't imagine a 125 lol I guess if you don't do any highway riding it could be ok though... and 110 mpg is hard to beat!

 

Oh its defiantly small I wont take it on the highway but around town and to work its perfect.

 

It looks really cool but I would not feel comfortable on the streets with it, nor with many small machines, my XT250 pushes the small limits for me at times.

 

I am impressed with these new Honda models of 2014. All designs are new and are quite impressive. Thanks for sharing these pictures.

 

Rode behind a Grom this past riding season at the Dragon. Was a funny little thing. Not my cup of tea though.

 

I feel like this bike would only be good for the city. However i would love to ride on around and play on it just to see how fun it would be. I would probabley jump the crap out of it haha since it is so light and all the fun you could have

 

It looks neat, maybe good for someone living in the downtown area of a medium to large city but I would never buy one; doubly so since I love my bike around town.
