    The new Honda Grom makes around 9.65 HP, underpowered for a 125cc motor. I like it overall though.

    I'll let you know how "boring" they are in a few weeks.
    Contemplating grabbing another one in may when the 2022's make an appearance at dealerships......touch higher compression and a five speed tranny opposed to 4speed in earlier models.
    Spring is not coming fast enough! I really want the charcoal black one!!!Click image for larger version.

    A Grom is a hi performance moped if you ask me. JMHO. For the same price you can get a used real bike.

    Your right a step or two above a moped, they interest me and the family because there easy to load in a pickup, fast enough to have fun scooting around town or alot further, good on gas, my youngest (16) works at a pizza place next town over and his bosses both have the monkey bike version also 125cc and cruise them everywhere. Funny thing is his bosses also have "full size" bikes but they'd rather most of the time just jump on the monkeys. I personally would not want a used full sized bike, its just not my thing unless maybe it had 3-wheels and not the azzbackward ones that are out there now. i was actually at a KTM dealer last saturday looking at a new ktm duke 390, nice looking bike but again i wasn't looking for a full size bike.
    I suppose if these groms are a real letdown the resale value is strong.
    dual sport tires are going on mine/ lots of smaller trails to explore around here and powerlines to check out.

    But yup i agree a high performance moped/ actually had alot of fun on mopeds in my younger yrs.

    Yamaha also makes an MT3 with is a nice bike, on the smaller side, and significantly less expensive than their big brothers. My son loves the Grom but I can't stand them. A good friend of mine has one and I tease him something unmerciful. He calls it his "sport bike" I'd much prefer to zip around town on a supermoto, but to each his own. I can see how it would be of interest to you and the family for putting around town. Whatever you decide- good luck! And if you do convert it- be sure to post pics and a build thread.

    Why don't you get something vintage lik an xl125, you could also take it off road some if you wanted. Can't do that with the Kawi, plus it won't depreciate as much.

    I LOVED my mopeds!! Had a couple around 15/16 and we went everywhere on them. I truly had a blast as a young kid, always had something to ride...

    On Honda's motorcycle website they have a downloadable coloring page for the Grom, which they call COLOR MY GROM.

    My artistic ability is a little rusty, but I tried to draw a rider with teal shorts and a purple helmet, you know, 90's colors. Maybe it's a little too Lisa Frankish. What do y'all think?

    the grom is miles above and beyond a moped.

    I bought one the year they were released in the states. Im 6'2 and 230lb and the little thing will carry me along 55-60 mph while getting 100mpg. Installing a big gun full exhaust and removing the intake snorkels & screen on the back of the filter gave me an honest additional 5mph cruising speed.

    If I were to install a cam, a "cold air intake" and get a tuner for it.. it would carry me along at 80+mph easily. Mpg would drop to around 70-75 though.


    The grom is an absolute blast. Doing figure-8s while dragging foot peg the whole time is a riot. It is the ULTIMATE bike to hoon around town on, no doubt about it. Just don't wheelie it for miles, they'll lock right up on ya.

    I will add, it appears as if a carrier&axle from a 110 are roughly the right size to adapt to the groms swingarm.
