- Join me as I ride my 2015 Honda Grom OG and review my first impressions after owning the Grom for 1000km. I cover topics like cost of ownership, who the Honda Grom would be good for, and if the Honda Grom a good first bike.
I briefly compare the Honda Grom to the Honda CRF250L that I owned and talk about it's similarities and differences.
Check out my channel for more videos related to Japanese motorcycles and cars, a lot of which are Honda's.

Great video! I have had my grom for 2 years and still loving it. Perfect for riding around town and to work since I work 10 miles away. Cost me under $4 in gas a week! lol
Thanks for watching! Yup the Grom is fantastic a pound for pound package. How're you liking your Street XG500? Was eyeing one not too long ago.
@@RideYEG loving the xg! Just did some maintenance on it and it’s running like a champ! I am on the hunt for a sport bike now to add to the collection so stay tuned! Lol
@@FrankiesWorld I'm looking forward to it! Any particular ones in mind?
@@RideYEG yes sir. Narrowed it down to 3, but I’m 99% sure I’m going to get this one I’m checking out tomorrow. Don’t wanna say which kind so I don’t ginx it but I’ll be uploading it!
@@FrankiesWorld Haha completely understandable. I will await patiently for the upload! Ride safe✌️
i am going to get a grom
Nice, which generation/year are you thinking? Thanks for watching✌️
We have one of a similar engine but not a Grom, it's now covered 250k kilometres and still running okay smooth. Just regular maintenance using Castrol fully syn oil, the only thing we have to replace was piston ring once. Honda reliability is amazing.
Hold up, like 250,000km? That's insane!
@@RideYEG yep, it's called XRM my family has it in the Philippines, its semi auto gearbox, has gears but clutchless like the Cub. Bought brand new in 2006 as daily runner for our business, fast forward 2021 still running, we're aiming to achieve 500k kilometres and hopefully Honda will buy it back for good money as promotion lol.
@Gibbon Yes, the bike is 15 years old this year. I'm 100% sure it's the same engine as the Grom, however being 2006 model it isn't fuel injected yet but never had an issue with the carb. apart from general cleaning and servicing of the bike.
@@jeremycubs8331 that's amazing!
Looking into getting the 2022 grom once it drops in May! Cannot wait, it’ll be my first “street legal” bike but it seems a lot more fun and cheap to own/ride and super customizable which is sick! Wish I had patience tho! 😬
Congrats! The 3rd Gen looks amazing especially with the 5th gear. Keep me posted how it is - May will be around the corner in no time ✌️
@@RideYEG The 5th gear is definitely one of the best upgrades for the 3rd gen! I just hope we’re able to get all the colour options here, atm it looks like just the “SP” version is coming to Canada. I’ll definitely let you know how it is! I’m little boy excited haha 😛 Great vids btw! Keep up the good work 🤟🏻
@@colethemole1993 Oh yeah I saw that bit about the single color. What part of Canada are you located?
Thanks for the feedback and kind words. Ride safe ✌️
@@RideYEG Personally I would get the black! But I’ll take what I can get haha And I’m in Ontario, but if I ever come your way I’ll bring the Grom and we’ll have to go for a ride! 😀
YEG Rider, I am in the process of watching this Grom video of yours on my big Screen TV.
I just noticed that you are on a Purple Grom. That's gotta be the Grom I seen for sale on Kijiji.? Did you sell your Baby.? - Angel
dam bro clean build looks nice!
Thank you!
素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます‼️
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
どういたしまして
What levers do you have? They look nice and I’m looking for something similar for my 2015 Grom. Thanks!
These are some MZS levers just off Amazon!
Good 🏍 I have grom in south California
That's a great place to have one! Ride safe✌️
I wanted a Grom but ended up with a Monkey I do not regret it it is the same little fun ride with a really comfy seat :). but they are both great little bikes :) and they both look cool in their own weird way :)
I'm obsessed with the Honda Monkey but they're super hard to find (if not at all) in Canada. Where are you located to be able to get one? Congrats on the superb purchase 💯🔥
@@RideYEG I got lucky I got the last yellow one in Norway, I'm weird that way it had to be the yellow one :) tries to find Rebel 750 to make out as a Bobber right now :).. it might be a Vstar /dragstar from Yamaha as well, I'm on the hunt :D
@@gardini100 Haha nice. My Grom is technically yellow under the purple🍇 Would be cool to see your bobber project if it happens!
When I was 16 I was deciding between a grom and a truck, I bought the truck and I pay $50-$70 for a tank of gas. $3 for a tank of gas why didn’t I buy this thing??!!
It's never too late for a Grom! I've ridden and owned bigger bikes but I can't imagine life without my Grom haha. Thanks for watching✌️
you made the right choice back then
I have a route from home to work that makes me go over a couple of overpasses their speed limits are 35 mph. Can the grom do that up a steep overpass or will it bog down and lose power up a small steep hill?
35mph is about 56km/h in Canadian 😂 so I think you should be fine. I can hit 70km/h (43mph) pretty comfortably but I'm about 138lbs. If you're under 200 lbs I think you'll be okay✌️
I am going to get one once i get my license next year
They're fantastic for new riders! Where are you watching from?
I am from south east asia from a small country called malaysia
@@couchpotato4625 Nice! I hope to visit Kuala Lumpur one day - maybe the same time as when I visit Vietnam✌️
@@RideYEG noice my guy
I thought about getting a grom for first bike, but I went with R3 instead.
How are you liking it? Both solid choices, slightly different uses. I might try the MT-03 out this coming season
@@RideYEG , I just purchased it last week on Wednesday and only drove it home and around my block a few times lol. I'm in Texas and the winter storm came next day. Can't wait until weather clears up though so I can get some seat time, then I'll let you know!
@@jamestkirkcameron9189 Sounds good, congrats! Hope it clears up soon, the white stuff normally stays until April for us here in Canada. Ride safe✌️
I'd like to get your mic setup!
For this video I just have a $20 Amazon lapel mic plugged into my phone as separate audio from the gopro! Mic clips into the cheek pad of my helmet
Thanks for the video ! I am looking to buy a new motorbike for almost a daily use. I am actually 1,85m tall. Will you recommend me the grom ?
Hi there, where do you live and what kind of roads will you be riding? You might feel a bit cramped on the Grom and I would maybe look into something between 250 and 500 cc.
I'm 180, it is ok but I'd recommend getting a flat seat so you can push yourself back a it more
Hi ! I am actually living in the south of turkey. Roads are not so bad
@@raslekepi I think for daily use you may enjoy the CB300R more
Ok, thanks guys for your advices! I was also checking the XPulse 200T (bs4) from the Indian manufacturer Hero. Looks good and even cheaper than Honda, with good reviews. Do you have any idea about it ?
The only bad thing is the display color hate the orange my 2018 is blue I like it way better but I do like the gear position display
Is the blue a mod or stock on your 18? Thanks for watching ✌️
@@RideYEG stock but I saw a video that you can send that part to a company and they mod it so you can cycle though every color
Lucky you were on grom, if you're on faster bike, the guy in BMW definitely clip you.
Yeah that was super sketchy, but I generally try to be really cautious and read situations. Ride safe!
i am actually between bying the grom or the z125 pro
I was in the same boat but I'd highly recommend going with the Grom. More aftermarket parts, bigger community, and the one guy that owns a Z125 in our Grom group always gets made of☹️
@@RideYEG yea and it has a lot secon used ones too while the z125 doesnt and the grom is like 300 to 200 euros less in my country
Hi friend, we need driver license for 125cc? Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Here in Canada, specifically Alberta, a driver's license (class 5) is required to operate the 125cc Grom. You will also need a class 6 motorcycle license.
Where are you based out of?
@@RideYEG I'm from US 🙂
@@haileyfung826 Yes, you need a motorcycle license
i am 1,90m, is it a good idea to ride on a grom??
Should be fine if you're riding in urban areas only. If you need more power check out my CB300R videos it's basically a big Grom
I got a honda cbr600rr but im looking too get a grom for mi 2 bike
Grom is the best second bike there is! I ride it more than my big bikes ✌️
@@RideYEG when I did my msf course that's what I use a Honda Grom that's why I like them so much they are the best
Back out of a parking spot? I always park backwards
Same here lol. But getting the bike parked backwards needs backing in sometimes!
How tall are you?
I'm 5'6 around 168cm. I show the seat height in depth in this video: th-cam.com/video/WGuPCGFi2e0/w-d-xo.html
