The Little Grom That Could | 125cc Road Trip!

- My longest Grom ride yet! We push our 125cc Groms and Z’s to the limit with a 160 mile ride through the smoky mountain twisties. Just to prove that the Honda Grom does it all!
While the top speed on the Honda Grom (MSX 125) isn’t anything to write home about, the bike is extremely nimble in the tight corners. I give you guys my review of the Michelin Power Pure tires as well as some feedback on my new Zoom Brute Exhaust. Overall, these bikes did amazing and completely surpassed my expectations on what they are capable of. I understand why people turn Groms into track bikes or make them dedicated Canyon Carvers.
Our ride consisted of going to roughly the mid point of Idaho, stopping for a quick bite, and then back on full throttle. To be honest, we all must have been pinned for several hours and the Groms took the abuse. Both the Grom and the Kawasaki Z are extremely reliable and nobody had any issues during the ride. I would have no problem taking my Grom on a longer road trip in the future as long as I had some spare tools with me! I hope you guys enjoy the video!

I like how 125 riders seem to appreciate the destination so much more than bigger bikes and vehicles
I agree! Not always about the power
On big bikes I’ll go on a 4 hour ride and not care where I go but a small bike I’ll go on a 40 minute ride and have a great time getting there I love them both tho
And it was a hell of a trip in the summer i enjoy traveling although i'm a speed fan but still going in a road trip means having a bike that wouldn't struggle along the way
Factz
I think ya miss more on The bigger bikes because your always moving twice the speed and have to pay way more attention
Man cameras don’t do groms justice, they look way small on the internet
Dude I have one they ARE small 🤣🤣🤣
@@user-zq7oe3bl6k he’s been blaming cameras for years 🤔 😂 💀
@@user-zq7oe3bl6k i mean from a go pro they look like a 50
@@blixxy1320 that is true but gopros have fisheye lense which make everything look small lmao. Only reason I haven’t bought one is because they make everything look less eventful IMO.
As a matter of fact you’re right , groms are remarkably bigger in real life , I mean sitting on one of them if you’re not that big of a guy is pretty decent , I’m 6’0 and 64kg the bike feels and looks decent on me being on it
Beautiful bikes and gorgeous roads this is what life is all about. I got my CBT in 2 weeks, Grom is my dream first bike
@5:18 as someone who currently lives in FL i can appreciate the scenery. Looks so much fun to ride through. Im scheduled to get my endorsement this weekend and already put a deposit on a brand new white 18'. I am beyond stoked to explore EVERYWHERE. Love the vids wish youd make more grom stuff like this!
You can remove the seat, take it to an upholstery shop and they can remove the cover , replace the crap foam with high density foam and recover the seat for around $125-$190.00 . High density memory foam is the way to go with any motorcycle seat .
Man this gives me some flashbacks... I was stationed in Mountain Home AFB last year and would ride the loop on my BMW f800gs with my buddies all the time, epic camping out there.. Enjoy it bro!
Out almost at the base gate and turn right towards the black sands loop?
That's a nice ride for sure
This looks like an absolute blast!
Looked like a good time, thanks for sharing
Man I can't wait, spring is almost here and we'll be doing long grom runs again!
Coronavirus bitch
Next group ride u should do a walk around of your buddies Groms. I saw some that looked dope! I love how u can personalize them and really make them your own. I loved that dark green one but that black and red one was bad ass with that custom seat...Crazy ride tho, 160 miles!🤯
Can't wait for the next ride!!
Just got me a 18 ssr motorsport 125 just like yours and can't wait to build it abit faster. U got the prefect grom video out there
love watching these man! I ride big bikes but love my little Z125 & im 43yrs old!
They are an absolute blast!
That’s awesome me too I’m 39 years old and I’m love It!!!
I'll be 58 in April and just picked up a Z125 for stunt's . got a Supermoto and FZ09 too ' (just can't seem to grow-up LOL )

Great to hear! I’m 47 and thinking of a grom for wheelie and stoppie practice and thought I was to old for it
Age is just a number my friend. As long as you are able to, keep riding!
"160 something mile ride, basically doing a loop of Idaho."
Me from Texas......jealous that people can run across their state so easily.
You make a nice vid. Really enjoyed it. I live on the coast so mountains are about 2 hours away. Have to ride mostly on flat land but the Grom makes it fun.
That loop is an amazing ride ,idaho city to Boise is really pretty
I thought I was done riding.. but after seeing these lil bikes on the streets here in Miami I think I'll be back on the road..nice video btw...
Dream trip right there!
I grew up in East Tennessee so when i read in the description that you were taking them to the "smoky mountain twisties" i was thinking the great smoky mountains national park in gatlinburg tennessee hahaha fun video either way!
So amazing brother
Wow Idaho is beautiful👍👍
That looks super fun. I need to get my Grom to the mountains.
Also spotted some side-car action at 5:09!
Fire Dog dude it’s a blast!
Fire Dog is
At the end of the work week my tiger 800 is put away and the grom comes out ...I love mountain rides on my grom good video
Davyboy Colon haha yep! The Grom can do it all
Hitting the twisties👌
Cute and fantastic little bikes. I had a long road trip with my 2014 going through BC. Looking to buy a new one if I can find one.
Yes indeed life is good. first, i need a license. Thanks for this video. Definitely getting one.
awesome vid more grom content pls
Great video
where are the grom videos 🙁 i watched this video twice within 2 months, this is such a banger
“Well this is Emmett. So...that’s pretty much uhhh all there is to say about that.” Lol. True. I live in meridian and I’m seriously considering upgrading from my Ruckus to a Grom. 🧐
I’m in the same boat as you were haha! I want to get a Grom so bad I have a ruckus right now. Did you ever upgrade?
Good content thanks!
I live in florida we dont have that 🥺 watching the roads was therapeutic
Me and my friends took our 50cc's on a 292mile roadtrip through the swedish wilderness.
Awesome!
been monging it on grom vids the last few days and yours is the best so far, no talking like a rapper/gangster bell end, or with stupid sayings/voices etc, music's not too overbearing (could be less of it n more of the engine exhaust sounds)..... you not allowed to filter/overtake stationary traffic? that sucks arse .crackin looking ride out though.....👍
AYE! I've lived in Boise my whole life and want to get a Grom in the next couple of weeks!
What people don’t understand is that supermotos and groms kill it at the dragon. It’s switchbacks, sport bikes barely get out of 2nd if that. Plus by that time, you’re speeding and ol state trooper will get you. I miss my hometown and being able to go to the dragon whenever
looks amazing!! reminded me of the Carolina crawl.
west coast moto it was a great ride
Carolina Crawl??? Details please.
@@HuangHangLo it's a event in Townsend Tenn/ NC with groms,and all mini cc bikes/scooters. It's so much fun.
west coast moto ooooooohhhhh! You mean the Smoky Mountain Crawl! Lol I go there every year.
west coast moto I thought the “Carolina Crawl” was a separate event.
Just subscribed I'm from east Idaho here
Groms are the funnest 💯✊️
Fun!
A guy here in spokane rode his all the way to seattle and back ..it took him a while though lol
linkkris haha I don’t doubt that at all!
I love my grom
any information on year round riding in Boise Idaho areas ? (or at least amount of sunny weather riding ? ) I'm starting to get tired of all the rainy and cold/cloudy days here in the PNW. looking to Move out there if I can plan for it ...
What performance upgrades did you do to get it that fast?
Idaho is so freaking beautiful. Didn't know there were mountains near by lol. All I saw when I went through idaho was desert and plains. Got some Mountains up here in WA I wanna hit real bad with my grommy
*Old town road intensifies*
Lol
nice i wishs i was there with the crew
Hey did you have the 14t front sprocket on for this ride?
I've always wondered what Idaho looked like street level. I've heard they dont like outa staters there.
It would be great if you had fifth gear. Any chance of retrofitting 2022 gearbox for your bike?
You just sold a Honda grom great video
How is the handlebar vibration and resonance?
I've wanted to take my Grom out to McCall for a long time but I'm almost positive I'm going to die on Horseshoe Bend Hill lol
I work for the usfs and was thinking of getting a grom before this fire seaosn to cruise on mountain roads in my freetime, this sold me. was looking at bore kits though, any input?
Can’t speak to the big bore kits, but mine seems to do pretty well on the stock setup
Anthony does the grom have a built in quick shifter ?
I live in Boise, I want a grom so bad!
Let me know when you drive around riverside yucaipa area im.ig its haji_rocket_bunny
all that land covered and not one potato field
Life is good
I wish I had a squad like that lol
I’m about to buy a new grom, my first bike - thought I have ridden 110cc motorcycles throughout asia. Do you think abs is needed for this kind of riding on Groms?
The great smoky mountains are better but this is still cool. Plus they have the smoky mountain crawl on the dragon
how are you catching intercom and gopro all into one?
Thanks for telling me to ride my from in the mountains.. bike is totaled and I have 3 broken ribs SMH.
do u drive in mph or kmh i dont know if the grome can go big over 50mph?
Any idea on city grip 2 tires?
How i wish i could go to USA just to ride motorcycle and start vlogging
Shout out to the Anthonies
Lol THOSE roads are messed up? Come to MS bro.
when u guys going on a trip again should have a walkie to talk to each other
I would like some input on what kind of helmet people would recommend for my wife and I to be able to communicate as we are on our individual bikes. Of most importance is the safety value and the voice clarity Thank you for any input
You can add a cardo or Sena(paid reviews) to any helmet about 520$ for 2 units if you ride in groups or about 300 a set of you just want to talk to each other. Look at the cardo packtalk slim!
-Keep the rubber side down
What kind of tires are you running on your Grom ?
How does it do uphill?
Awesome video. Just a tip.... never put your helmet on the ground as it is a signal to other bikers that you are in danger.
How do you record your voice?
What’s done to your grom how does it got 72
Bro looking to ride roughly 500 miles each way on a trip. Any advice? Think it's gonna screw anything up? I'll probably take a break every 2 hours or so.
Did you do it or nah?
I'm saving up for a grom
Isn't tomorrow yesterday today?
i wuld kill for a grom i cant wait to turn 16
How is your Grom able to hit 60-70mph
Is nyc by there
How much do you weigh any mods
What size Michelin tires do you rock front and back ?
Snapback_BR yes sir!
ALLDAYANTHONY what size front and back did you go with ?
What size tires did you go front an back
If I’ve never ridden a bike - is this a good learner?
I think so yes
How do you get your Grom to go over 50mph?
Probably mods
How did you make your grom reach all the way up to 70mph?
Mechanical knowledge
Full tuck, downhill
in miles?
im 6’1 and 200 pounds. Thinking about getting a grom but worried it wont have enough power for my big a**. Does anyone my size have a grom and can share their experience?
wonder if its still 14/36 gearing.
No likely
5:50 true mate👌
Any of you guys over 6ft?
I can't ever get my grom to go 60 mph. Especially not up hill. How do you do it?
his exhaust is better and i think he might have an ECU map?
shoutout to the one z125 lmao
There was 3

What's The Grom Top Speed For You ¿?
Funny that we clicked on this video from the FB Grom Riders group!
What state
Please when lunch in india this bike I love...
Am I seeing that right how you going 60 70 mph
Philadelphia Grom Squad you are! I was hitting about 60+ in some of the twisties and 72 for a split second on a straight. Pretty sure the wind was in my favor though
I wanna go 60 70 highest I get is like 45 50
