Overview

Introducing the 2016 Honda Grom, a pint-sized powerhouse that has taken the motorcycle community by storm. Positioned firmly in the sport category, the Grom delivers an exhilarating ride paired with unmatched versatility, making it the ideal choice for both urban commuting and weekend joyrides. With a price tag of just $3,199, this miniature marvel offers an accessible entry point for new riders while also appealing to seasoned motorcyclists looking for a fun, lightweight bike that’s easy to maneuver and park. At the heart of the Grom is a spirited 124.90 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, designed to deliver a lively performance that belies its size. With a compression ratio of 9.3:1, the Grom is engineered for efficiency and responsiveness, enabling it to achieve remarkable fuel economy—an impressive 133.65 miles per gallon. The power is transmitted through a smooth 4-speed gearbox, allowing riders to zip through city streets or cruise along backroads with ease. The lightweight chassis, weighing in at just 102.1 kg (225 pounds), combined with a low seat height of 754 mm (29.7 inches), creates a confidence-inspiring riding experience perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. The Grom is packed with features and technology that enhance both performance and enjoyment. Its electric starter ensures hassle-free ignition, while the advanced PGM-FI fuel injection system guarantees optimal fuel delivery and efficiency. The bike’s suspension setup is designed for nimble handling, featuring a 31 mm inverted front fork and a rear single shock with a steel box-section swingarm, providing a plush ride over uneven surfaces. Riders can also enjoy the stylish aesthetics offered in color options such as Black, Red, Yellow, and Pearl White, ensuring that the Grom stands out on the road. **

Pros

  • Fuel Efficiency: With an astonishing 133.65 mpg, the Grom is incredibly cost-effective for commuting and leisure riding.
  • Lightweight & Maneuverable: Weighing just 225 pounds, it’s easy to handle and perfect for navigating congested urban environments.
  • Fun Factor: The spirited engine and agile chassis deliver a thrilling ride, making it a favorite among motorcycle enthusiasts.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highways: The 124.90 cc engine may struggle at higher speeds, making it less suitable for extended highway travel.
  • Minimal Storage: The compact design leaves little room for cargo or storage options, which might be a drawback for longer rides.
  • Basic Features: While it excels in core performance, the Grom lacks advanced tech features found in larger, more expensive bikes, such as traction control or ABS.
