Overview

Introducing the 2017 Honda Grom, a playful yet capable motorcycle that has carved out a unique niche in the sport category. With a price tag starting at just $3,199, the Grom is an accessible gateway for new riders while also attracting seasoned enthusiasts looking for a fun, lightweight machine. Its compact design and spirited performance make it an ideal choice for urban commuting and weekend joyrides alike, embodying the essence of Honda’s commitment to delivering reliability and excitement on two wheels. At the heart of the Grom lies a 124.90 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine designed to deliver a delightful blend of power and efficiency. With a compression ratio of 9.3:1 and an electronic fuel injection system, this little dynamo produces a zippy ride with ample torque for city streets. The efficient air-cooled engine is paired with a 4-speed gearbox, allowing for smooth shifts and responsiveness that enhance the overall riding experience. Impressively, the Grom achieves a remarkable fuel consumption rate of 1.76 liters per 100 kilometers, translating to approximately 133.65 miles per gallon—making it not just fun but economical to ride. The 2017 Grom is packed with features that appeal to riders of all levels. Its lightweight design (weighing in at just 229 pounds) and a seat height of 29.7 inches ensure that riders can easily handle the bike, whether they’re navigating tight city streets or tackling winding roads. The suspension system, featuring a 31mm inverted fork in the front and a single shock in the rear, provides a comfortable ride over various terrains, while the hydraulic disc brakes ensure responsive stopping power. With eye-catching color options—Matte Gray Metallic, Pearl Red, Pearl White, and Bright Yellow—this motorcycle doesn’t just perform well; it also makes a statement. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Maneuverable: Ideal for city riding and new riders, making it easy to navigate traffic and tight spaces.
  • Exceptional Fuel Economy: With a staggering 133.65 mpg, the Grom minimizes trips to the gas station and maximizes riding time.
  • Fun Factor: The zippy engine and responsive handling make every ride an exhilarating experience, perfect for both seasoned riders and novices alike.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Riding: While great for urban environments, the Grom’s engine may struggle at higher speeds, making it less suitable for long highway journeys.
  • Small Fuel Tank: With a capacity of just 1.45 gallons, riders may need to refuel more frequently, especially on longer trips.
  • Suspension Travel: The relatively modest rear suspension travel may not absorb larger bumps as effectively, which could lead to a less comfortable ride on rougher roads.
