13 Years Late to the Party… But I Finally Rode a Honda Grom!

Thirteen years after the Honda Grom first landed, I finally got my chance to ride one. The MSX125 has built a reputation as a fun, accessible, and slightly cult-status small bike - but does it still make sense today? In this video, I take a proper look at the Honda Grom from a real-world perspective, covering how it rides, what it’s like to live with, and who it actually suits. From engine performance and handling to comfort, practicality, and ownership pros and cons, this is an honest review based on my time spent on the bike - not just the spec sheet. I also talk about rider fit and confidence at a standstill, with reference to my own height and inside leg, and whether the Grom works as a daily runaround or a second bike alongside something bigger. If you’ve ever wondered whether the Honda Grom is just a novelty - or genuinely worth owning - this one’s for you. __________________________________________________ 👉 Support the channel by checking out my incredible channel partners: 🛫 Canary Motorcycle Tours - Ride with them in Spain! https://canarymotorcycletours.com 🎧 Custom Fit Guards - My go-to for pro riding earplugs (CODE: KATE10 for 10% off): https://www.customfitguards.com 🛡 Bikesure Insurance - Motorcycle insurance specialists (Ask for me by name!) 📷 Aoocci C6 Pro CarPlay for your bike!
