Hey guys, I see a lot of you here are from the US - super nice to see. I want to make more content for you so if you have a car or a bike you'd like to see me make a video on, or any video topic in general, please reply so I know what to film for you. Thanks!
honestly idk who is more of a legend here
the guy filming or the bike
50/50
Thanks bro
love seeing the progress bro!
Thank you Mr. J!
Picking up my 2024 Grom tomorrow! Pretty excited
Hell yeah, enjoy it
Sorry to hear that
@@highoffgunpowder8208 Sorry to hear that you don't understand personal preference LoL
Where I live is great for a Grom, I've been having a blast.. Two of my buddies, who both have Yamaha R6's, are picking up their groms soon 😉
Random tip about the helmet hook- turn your helmet around so the opening faces the fairing rather than the sky. That'll keep your helmet protected from rain, dirt, and bird poop 🙃
A lot of the time it’s a tradeoff between the potential bird poop vs the sure dirty fender. I mostly go for the bird poop side and since I also put my gloves in there it feels less risky
nice video dude :)
Thanks Finn!
So I have behind the supercar, which has the same engine as the one that you have here. But it’s got bigger wheels and it also has shipped gears, but you only shifted with a heel tow shifter and you don’t have to manipulate the clutch with your left hand the heal toe shifter disengages the engine, and all the shifting is done with your foot but it does have years and you have to use them, and it has four gears and neutral. And I have about 5500 miles on mine in less than a year probably about six months or so they had 9 miles on it when I got it used. It has been awesome. I wanted that one because it has more capability for storage capacity. I added a rear rack to it and I have a 65 L locking waterproof box on the back. Also when I wear a backpack, all the weight of the backpack rests on the box, which is awesome, I plan on putting a little front box as well I have to mess around with that because it’s gonna affect the horn outside of putting the wheels onto the rims. I have done all other maintenance, but I have switched the rims with new wheels on them. I have replaced the chain adjusted the chain just did the rear brake change the front brake pads. I have adjusted the valves but they really didn’t actually need it but you’re supposed to check them in 4000. I have changed the oil multiple times. And I’m really curious to see how many miles I can get out of the thing we shall see. I was thinking about buying a bigger motorcycle, but I’m being cheap about it and I’m just gonna stick with this one except the faster highways it can go anywhere on the road. I almost bought the Honda trail, which is the dirtbike on off-road version, but it was another thousand bucks and it didn’t have a gear indicator a gear indicator. But yeah, I’ll get another bike someday it’s probably gonna be quite some time till I need to do it. There was another guy that had on ground that I was watching a video about and I believe at 82,000 miles the top end of the motor had to get rebuilt, he did it himself and, still ran luckily though from the factory mine came with LED lights all the way around and lock brakes in the front. I personally would not get a motorcycle without an electric brakes at least in the front but in the back is actually a drum break that’s purely mechanical. I actually prefer it that waybecause I know that if I need to, I can lock up the back tire if I need to and the front having the ALO break would not be so great unravel but on the road it’s great but I’m not taking it off road that much so it’s all good
yo that bike looks fire
Thx Yallseen
very good video.
Thanks Kruppie
The nice thing about the Grom, is it doesn't really look like a mini motorcycle or scooter, because it actually is fairly high off the ground. So I shouldn't feel to embarrassed riding it around like I would a scooter, and have to wear a full face helmet so no one would recognize me haha.
Best looks in class IMO
I support this message
👏 samo taki nastavi 🫡
Hvala Andreja
Can’t wait to learn to ride bike and eventually when I get familiar with how to ride I really want to get one of these
Going to be amazing
I own a 2017 honda grom such a good bike
Agree
everyone should own a Grom. is just that good and fun.
Completely agree
Or a ‘GROM clone’
A good report... PS- your English is excellent. If you get a bigger bike, I would love to see more of Serbia from it
Thanks Jack, will do!
The Grom is such an awesome bike if you already own a bigger motorcycle and just want something for around town. I would not own a Grom by itself. It’s just too limiting.
Agree completely
Rest in peace to the Power Pure 😭😭 best tire i’ve ever had on any bike
Quite annoying the selection of tires for the Grom. I ended up buying KENDA KT1 or whatever they’re called. KD1? Idk. I was looking at the Pirellis but the reviews sucked for the Diablo Scooters. Then I was looking at the Angels and the Michelin whatever the heck they’re called. Idk. Just wish they would make something better for the Grom. Something a little more aggressive but then again I’m basically going the speed of a very fast road bicycle so I guess I don’t need anything that serious.
“How often do you get to see a bike for the first time?”
I want one of these with a Honda NSR 250cc 2 stroke install.
Better HP to weight ratio than a Koenigsegg
Crocs with Socks?
Hell yeah
i like how he said "factory zip ties" on the battery. lol. but continue.
What do you mean? Obviously they are factory. Did you not see how they chained them together (from the factory) because they didn't have longer ones?
@market_car lmao. If you really think any motor vehicle manufacturers stock zip ties on any vehicle, you should mot have the word car anywhere in your user name. I honestly don't even take this channel seriously now that you really think zip ties come stock.
@@E.K.Hernandez1987 Whatever man you’re just hating because your bike didn’t come with zip ties
@@market_car 🤣🤣🤣 sure. That's what it is. I'm hating cause I have no zip ties. Lol.
@@E.K.Hernandez1987 It's okay man, I understand. Not having zip ties is nothing to be embarrassed about though. And hey, if you really need them, I can lend you some of mine which came extra from the factory.
The moon phase 🤣🤣
Koja je cena ovakvog primerka, kako se krecu cene? Super klip inace. ✅️
2500-3000 otprilike. Hvala.
@@market_car Iskreno, mislio sam da dosta vise idu cene, kod nas u SRB sam ih slabo vidjao, mozda jednog i to na godisnjem nivou 😅 Super stvar za razbijanje gradske guzve
@@Arsa52 Retki ali dobri!
Really nice bike. Would it be suitable for a tall person?, I'm 6ft 1.
11:07
the moon phase😅
Where did you buy a Grom? In Romania I can't find any
I bought it used
Which website can I order one from? I’m having a hard time
I can help… Are you in the US?
Debating getting one for my girlfriend so she can learn to ride, what would my bank say
Don't worry I just got you pre-approved
@@market_car much appreciated haha
get her a 2023 cfmoto 300ss or 300nk. they have sales on them that make them cheaper than groms right now. all the power is in the high rpms so they are super safe for beginners but still fast enough for freeways when she gets confident enough
I already had a bike on loan, went to check out a grom, told me I don't even need anything down so I got it🤷🏽♂️😂😂
@@aakeon9149 I’ll look into those also thinking crf300l
I always wanted Honda grom but price and used market availability are not great so I ended up with almost new Chinese knockoff.
NGL I have a blast with it 😂
I’m picking up a 2020 Grom for 2500 bucks Friday! Only 2k miles
Update Grom was stolen picked up a 2023 KLX230sm for 2700
The knockoffs probably aren't that bad either, the thing is: this thing holds resale value so well that you are probably going to end up breaking even on your ownership so for me it didn't make sense to go for the inferior product. Cheers.
@@2020franco Sad to hear, but happy to hear.
@@market_car yessir! It’s just a taller Grom lol love the vids man!
You know you can replace the motor with a CBR 250 or 300 motor.
Yeah but the bike will stay the same size sadly. I NEED a giant one
Better to replace it with a 750 motor. I would then recommend to replace the frame as well.
I heard the MPG's isn't that great for the size of the engine
I don't know about that, but if you compare it to a car or a bigger bike, this thing basically runs for free.
i dont know about that mph i have a neighbor that that just bought a 2023 grom new last week. and its stock. and with him 5'11 220 pounds it will run 74 mph and when my light butt compared to him i can hit 74 mph pretty fast and on good road get it to 76 mph and its stock as of today. now next week will be another story because hes already looking at parts.
Keep it real with you the speedo on this thing is kinda off, like 10-20% off. And it has the factory size tires and everything. So it's possible to get it even more off by changing things. I don't know if 76 mph is doable at all. Maybe with the newer Groms it is?
@@market_car maybe it is the new ones i dont know but hes about to turn it into a 181cc
How tall are you bro
11:07
I hit 70 on a full moon
Im joking, I don’t own one 😔
Me neither, moons are getting pretty expensive 😔
@@market_car 😂😂😂
Bro looks like Daslim.
I don't know him but thanks
cant find em for less than 2500-3k.
What can I say... they hold their value well
@@market_car yep seems to be the case. Even the clones go for about half of a real one from what I've seen
Why are you in Serbia?
I happened to be born here and I haven't found a reason to leave
@@market_car how come you accent sounds American?
+ Serbian girls are baddddd
It's a natural consequence of watching too many Doug DeMuro videos
Girls are kinda gay bro @@market_car
you forgot to sum your weight not?
I'm afraid if I added my weight the bike would be twice as heavy + a pillion would make this heavier than the Hayabusa
nope. tomorrow my honda xr150L shows up tomorrow. honda is delivering it to my house. the honda xr150l is the best small bike. over the grom and the beneilli tnt 135 etc.
Double nope. The Vespa is the best bike ever made. Point invalid
Nope to both of you!
The Yamaha tw200 is not the best bike ever made.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@MOUNTAINOUS where'd you buy from for them to deliver it straight to you? I'm just curious because I thought buying new you have to go through dealership aswell as pay all the dealership fees. How much are you paying as well?
@@nathanieltheanimal9450 dealers do home delivery
@@nathanieltheanimal9450Honda didn’t deliver it to him a dealership did 💀
Ppl plz don’t spend 4k for a ANY grom FFS PLZ no ! lol 4.300 to be exact just NO !
Price is relative to the consumer
Also depends on where you're located. 4k is for the abs model in my area. Brand new base model is 3,300 - 3,500
What kind of man rides one of these I thought it was a joke at first then I noticed he wearing crocks with socks guess different strokes for strange folks.
I do
Normal ones. The Honda cub is the number one selling personal vehicle of all time.
Men who don't have to compensate. Or impress their friends. But ride because they actually like to ride. Small bikes are awesome, i want one.
I wish they would launch this in India
Probably wouldn't be that difficult to import either
Nice bike for beginners
For sure
Can you drive it as an automatic?
no you cant but the honda navi is essentially an automatic grom
@@4kaddi the grom doesn’t have dct ?
No DCT, but honestly you don't need it. This thing is fun with a manual.
