Honda Grom minibike

Introduction for Honda Grom minibike:
     The Honda Grom is, without a doubt, one of those bikes most macho riders wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole. But it’s also a back-to-basics ride that consistently delivers spontaneous grins and unexpected fun, recalling the sorts of low velocity thrills you’ll find familiar if you ever grew up on a minibike.

     While certainly not for everyone, Honda’s $3,000 Grom is welcoming to a wider range of people than you might expect thanks to its manageable ergonomics, user-friendly controls, and modern touches like fuel-injection and a digital instrument panel-and it's so perfect for new riders, it easily earns a spot on our list of 10 Great First Motorcycles while also sporting the lowest price. The Grom may not be a practical solution for a long distance daily commute, but its focus on fun makes it a great replacement for casual urban runabouts like scooters, offering legitimate motorcycle mechanicals for a fraction of the cost of a full-sized bike.

     My only regret? The fact that the Grom’s 125cc engine prevents it from being freeway legal… but hey, Honda product planners haven’t ruled out the possibility of future spinoffs like a 150cc version, as they did with the Honda PCX. With a bigger, highway-legal engine, the Grom just could outdo itself as the ultimate— and most usable urban micro machine.
