Honda Grom & Kawasaki Z125 Pro In San Francisco | ON TWO WHEELS
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
FROM DUSK TO DAWN!
The idea behind riding a Grom and a Z125 through San Francisco didn’t actually come about as a way to pit one 125cc bike against another. The guys wanted to explore San Francisco, and when they tried to think about the perfect bike for the job, these two were at the front of their minds. After all, if you’re going to bomb around a city, what better way than with 125cc and 225 pounds of machine? Skeptics will say these two are too slow to have fun, but think of it this way: You ride everywhere as fast as you can!

Skeptics will say these two are too slow to have fun, but think of it this way: You ride everywhere as fast as you can! Who cares if it’s only 50mph? It turned out the real struggle was packing enough stuff into one night. Ari and Zack bombed across the Golden Gate Bridge, following the waterfront through Fisherman’s Wharf to AT&T Park, then wandered around the city, from Lombard Street to the Haight, before climbing Twin Peaks to watch the sun rise.
What the boys learn, as always, is that being on two wheels is fun. What they learned this time is that being on two wheels can be cold, and also the amount of horsepower doesn’t really matter, especially when exploring a city.

Yuri D. Its like a cringey knock off.
When my friends and I were young, we had a 49cc scooter gang. The initiation was that you had to ring a stranger’s doorbell, when they came out we’d all rev our tiny engines and cackle. We’d speed away at maybe 35mph. God those days were fun. Just a group of friends laughing on tiny bikes, causing tiny trouble.

Sounds like fun
I have always thought of motorcycling as a hobby of competition. Everyone is always mentioning how they have recently acquired a bigger and faster bike then the other person. I must admit, I was a part of that mindset. However, after watching some of your videos and especially after watching this one. It's clear that it's just about discovering that all you need is a bike, doesn't matter what size, and a friend that thinks the same, to have some fun. With that said, I think I have been hanging around with the wrong crowd all along. I've always wanted to buy a ninja 250 but i was always discouraged to. So i bought a fz8, it's a great bike as I'm sure you guys already know. What I'm trying to say is, I found your videos amazingly entertaining that are mixed in with a wonderful amount of positive attitude. Keep up the great work! Wish you guys the best of luck, I'll definitely keep on watching your videos and have already subscribed. -Emmanuel

I grew up in SF and this video warmed my heart. Seeing Ninjas cruising on Broadway Street in 1987 made me want to be a motorcyclist so much. So in 2021 I finally learned to ride at 51 years old and got the Z’s bigger brother the Z400. Would love one of these bikes down the road.

Better looking is completely subjective. With the exception of the Ninja 300/400, I think most Kawi stuff is butt-ugly. EDIT: Forget what I said bout the 400... I just looked at a photo... BAARRRF

Amazing video guys. Every time I watch On two wheels there's something new makes me love riding bikes even more !! Great job guys !! :)
This is one of the first duo-host style series I've seen on KZread that doesn't seem forced and ridiculous, while still being informative and helpful
Dudes! You guys have the coolest job ever! Of all your videos, this one has become one of my favorites. Keep up the good work.
Both of these bikes look like a lot of fun. I enjoy when the two of you get the more quirky bikes and really have fun messing around, like the Ural. This was one of those videos. I've been to San Francisco and can't imagine how much fun it would be bouncing around the city at 23 MPH like you two did on the Honda Grom and Kawasaki Z125.
This episode was amazing. Fantastic in every aspect. Keep the good work up guys!
Great job guys. I get a real kick out of these videos, sure hope you keep them coming.
this video was both informative and entertaining, thank you for this quality directing and filming.
It's always more fun going as fast as you can all the time! Great vid and perfect local.
You guys are great. Please keep making fun videos like this. It's why I read/watch MC...
Sick video and love that closing shot from Daly City. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video. Loved it. What a great place to do a ride. You guys ROCK
NICE! I'm not sure how this is the first time I came across your channel but I watched some more videos and they're all really good!... well done guys!
always great video from you guys
This was a great vid . Cool concept and excellent delivery . Well done lads
love your videos guys! really enjoying watching ever single of your videos. great video editing
Love watching you guys put the fun back into motorcycling. You just might save the sport.
Just love the videos featuring you guys! In particular the one where you traveled from the ocean to the ski slopes
These dudes get along pretty well and look like they have fun! That’s the key ingredient for a good program when it comes to vehicles for me.

great job as always guys, keep up the good work
This was the video I saw a few years back that sold me on a 125. I own a z125 now and love it
Sweet vid guys, keep them coming!
Another cool vid! Keep'em coming boys!
Excellent/Fun video !! I just bought the z125 KRT Pro .Looking forward to having a lot of fun on it !!!
always the best reviews. thanks guys
That looked like so much fun, you guys are awesome! You guys should do another bargain Craigslist bikes episode, I loved that one!!!
Your videos are the coolest and the best... Love it.❤︎
I like how you guys switched up and described the upsides the other bike.
Chemistry of these 2 guys are amazing... great episode

Love the channel, you guys are great and do fun and interesting stuff. Subcribed!
That's the cutest couple in KZread... the Grom and Z125. LOL
Love it! Slightly biased since I live here but yea. One of your best vids so far.
You guys are the best! Hoping to get my hands on a z125 late this year :D
Subbed you guys are awesome ! always enjoyed your videos for a few years now .. congrats on your well deserved sucess !
I don’t even own one, a good friend bought a Ruckus but these guys are awesome and the night ride looks like an amazing experience
Man guys great video. I love OTW!
Your guys content is always top notch but you still have less than 100k subs, how even! Keep it up. By far my favorite motorcycle channel :)
From Nebraska here :P and after having a Kawi G5, the Z125 would be a great addition/upgrade! Too bad local dealers can't keep them in stock so I went with a Suzuki Gw250 (which I love regardless)
I have a Z1000 and want a Z125 to play on now for around town... am I ridiculous? Why I want to look goofy is beyond me but they sure look like fun.

+Mr. Kitty Small bikes around town are more fun. My Honda Air Blade maxs out at 80mph but it doesn't matter when the fastest I've gone in my city is 45mph. A Z125 Pro is a nice compliment to a Z1000. Get one and have some fun.

great video entertaining and a good insight to the new Z125
Love it and wish this episode was longer. I just got back from the 2016 OVERLAND EXPO from Mormon Lake Arizona. While there with my Super Tenere and TW200 I saw what I been thinking about for my next light weight bike. KTM 390 Duke customized for Dual Purpose . It looks great with aftermarket seat, pipe and tires. Keep up the great work and play! If you need to do a retro story I have a 2002 Bayliss 998 and 2002 Millie R I would like see make it into one of your videos.
Nice video bro stay safe keep it coming
Well done, guys, Superb idea.
I like having the front turn signals as running lights. Definitely more noticeable at night
Great vid looked like a blast! 👍👍
You guys should make these "On Two Wheels" episodes or any of your videos longer... they are always awesome!
Great work with the videos! I hace learn quite many aspects of motocycle thanks to yo, I have a question sideways, I like the sholder back pack use un this episode, do you mind mention where to accire one.... Jaja thanks!!
assume show and great episode! :-). Considering that a Z125 might be att great choice for a second bike in the garage :-)
Loved this. What an amazing scenery, this city makes. QUESTION: Which one has the most comfortable sit/saddle ? Especially for long hour riding/ commuting ?
I never ride my bike at night but somehow i just love these nighttime reviews.
nice workout guys...thumbs up👍👍👍
Cool vid, I'd definitely go Kawasaki. Keep the vids coming, thanks.
Looks like too much fun, I still want to get a Grom to match my CB1000R, we'll see... keep up the great work though guys!!! Honda for life 😋
Stumbling in after the party went home, but this is a great show. Congrats on your new opportunity. I just can’t figure out how to find it, overseas... Fantastic content though. Mega.
Please give us more awesome content like this! With MotoUSA going belly up, this channel is really poised to takeoff.
I went with a matte black (with red wheels) brand new 2022 z125. I am very happy with it and have ZERO regrets.
You guys are nerds and I loved this vid! Nice stoppies.
You guys chose the best city to test these bikes. I ride my grom almost everyday to work here in SF! i actually met the kawi rep that put that event together. Great video!! Looks like you guys had a blast. Should of stopped by bobs donuts on polk, you guys had dinner a few blocks away.

strictlyJDM semi unrelated, but I'll be visiting SF later next week. What are some good (local) spots to visit/eat, and what spots are bs tourist traps? Thanks!
That was great, you guys make the best motorcycle vids out there. Ignore people who want boring, "serious" evaluation videos; they can go bugger off spend the next 3 hours arguing over spec sheets for a bike they don't own on a forum somewhere.
Amazing episode!!
I like the instrument cluster on the Kawi 125 Pro (Analog tach!) Also like the tail light better to than the Grom.

i own a grom, however i cant wait until all major brands have their own style out. yamaha has the tw200 which is an awesome bike also. i cant click the lie button enough. im subbing for the great open review of both bikes. and the non one sided review.
Dear @Motorcyclist Magazine, this is seriously one of THE BEST motorcycle reviews I've ever seen, just bummed I didn't see these two bombing around my city since I ride late at night too XD. Also, Zack and Ari are probably among the 5 best moto journalists in the world right now, so please keep these videos coming. Production quality is high, concept is great, and they're awesome fun to watch.
