    Nice to seeing you warming to the delights of the Mini bikes as you've progressed through them Andy, I had guessed the Grom would be your favourite, as to the small wheels that is the best part and what sets them apart from other motorcycles, the lively nature that brings is where the joy comes from, in much the same way a classic Mini drives compared to modern cars.

    It would be difficult to make an air cooled fuel efficient 125 that meets euro 5 produce 15 bhp. All the 125’s that come near the 15bhp limit are water cooled. This would take away from the simplicity of design of these mini bikes. There are water cooled 125’s that are over 14bhp if you wanted one and they tend to cost about a grand more. These bikes are not designed just for the U.K. market, as the U.K. market is tiny.

    Morning Andy, loved the last review of the mini bike series. A case of here today, Grom tomorrow! I know the Grom has a huge cult following and would make a great little fun bike as would the Dax and Monkey, as you say they are bikes you can have fun on without going silly speeds, though living in Wales where our government is about to impose the 20mph built up speed limit on us without consultation they are capable of silly speeds😳 Anyway, ride safe.

    I cannot believe they’re nearly 10 years old lol. I started riding 8 years ago and these were the bikes used in the school I learnt at. I can’t say the on road section of the training inspired me to get a 125 for my first bike as my school was on a 100km road so that first experience sticking to the side at 78kmh getting passed by traffic going 110 wasn’t exactly confidence inspiring! But I do remember them being a lot of fun on the closed course sections of the training!

Out on the road the light weight about 100kg is definitely noticeable, like not carrying a 25 liter water container around permanently. I was actually very impressed with it. Has abs on the front too. If space was a concern then this would be ideal, like a 50cc scooter size motorcycle. 😎👍

    A bit of trivia: in the parlance of surfers, snowboarders and skateboarders a "Grom" is a youth (usually under the age of 15) that is an enthusiast of surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, etc. which may explain Honda's naming strategy. As an adult, I'd rock a Honda Grom.

Btw, RAF Wycombe ( strategic command now) was Bomber Command in WW2, Bomber Harris used to lodge at West Wycombe house and drive his Bently up to Bomber Command in under 10 minutes (i read). He used to try and beat his record occasionally. Then it became Strike Command, i like you, live not far from it and it will be a target for any WW3. Hopefully i will be vapourised immediatley and know nothing about it.

    Hi TMF, lovely review! I've loved the groms (well the idea of one) for years. Finally decided to get my license and trying to find a first bike to learn on. I know you touched on it briefly but i'd like to hear a few more of your thoughts if you wouldn't mind. I've just done my CBT and looking for a 125 to get a bit more experience between lessons. I'm 29 so I will be going for my full license in the coming months, all going well. I'm 5'11 and around 11stone. My only concern is if I have a Grom to learn on in between lessons and tests, do you think that would be too much of a difference in size/weight/handling etc. when I do go for my tests on the bigger bikes and also when I eventually come to buy a bigger bike? Any input is really appreciated, cheers!

    Only suited for small rides and commuting imho. Small wheels so every pothole is a danger. No luggage capacity. No weather protection at all. Single cylinder so you have to rev it to get a bit of power. It looks cute though. 350cc is the lower limit for me because you get a normal sized bike to sit on.

    some after market company should make a "convert your honda to have the horn / indicators switches in the CORRECT positions" mod. As for the Grom, I guess I'm glad it exists. Not everyone is 5 foot 11 inches or taller. For me, at 5'11", I just find mini bikes too cramped. When I was a learner, I did also find that fuller size 125cc bikes are really underpowered for 16 1/2 stone fatties like me ! Something like a 350cc Hunter would have probably been fine, I reckon I could have been trusted with one of those as a Learner bike, but well that's not "Da RuleZ" !!

    That amazing little engine can be traced right back to the 1960s in various bikes from the c70 to ss50 mopeds and various 125s. I wonder if Honda even know how many have been made? Amazing to think they also make the mighty Gold Wing and my Deauville for that matter.

    I'm about to buy my Minimoto next month, had a 2014 Grom back in 2014. Still not sure if I should go for the Grom or the Monkey. The Grom has a lot going for the price, the Monkey is the best looking of the two but it comes at a price. In Canada the Grom sell for 4,800$ and the Monkey goes for 6,130$. Is it worth the 1,300$ premium for the Style? What is your thoughts between both?

    Hi.. i saw this video so i thought that i should ask you to give me a suggestion. I am a female, weight 51 kg, height 5'2.5". yesterday i learned how to ride a manual bike on CB125F. I was easily handled that bike and i pushed a little too. The weight of this bike is 117 kg. One of the man suggested that i should buy a g310r which is 158 kg but the seat height is not bad for me. The other option he mentioned is GSX S125. So Don't you think that these above mentioned bikes will be difficult for me to pass my test? I am not very strong. I heard that in bikes tests,examiner will ask me to push the bikes without sitting on it. The seat height should be 30 to 31 inches according to my height. Please suggest something. 🙏

    Hi, is 'Grom' an acronym for something groovy, or just it's birth 'nym' from Japan? If the latter, will they do one that belches out thick black smoke & call it the 'Gru'? Prob with small bikes is having to 'lock' them TO something else when parked up, their lightweight flickability makes them very tempting to the armpits of the criminal world too. Having a Rottweiler on the pillion may help, but good-luck getting your 'double-meat-feast' pizza home in one piece, if you did manage it, the dog would likely eat your bike : )
