When Honda first introduced the Grom 125 (MSX125 for those of you outside of the U.S.) back in 2014, the little bike made quite the splash. Some eagerly welcomed it, excited that the historically-practical moto manufacturer was finally ready to have some fun. Others scratched their heads, bewildered as to why Honda would cater to such a seemingly ‘peculiar’ niche.
Even in spite of its initial controversy, the Grom has firmly established itself within the motorcycle community. Between the compact size, the high-revving 125cc engine, and the flickable geometry, it’s a bike that has commanded quite the cult following.
Road & Track put it perfectly in their initial review: “The Grom is tiny, gutless, slow, and perfect. It’s the kind of motorcycle that probably made you enjoy riding in the first place… Invariably, it’ll make you enjoy riding again.” As with other small Hondas (like the Ruckus), one of the hallmarks of the Grom lies in its customization potential. So, while the platform is pretty humble out of the box, there’s a thriving aftermarket chock full of performance parts.
This example is VIN: MLHJC6111F5110179. The seller purchased the bike approximately 5 years ago from a local Navy vet and states, “Built as the ultimate pit bike for Laguna Seca and Chuckwalla. But selling to help with daughters flight lessons before going off to Embry Riddle in the fall.”
