It looks like a toy, but a fun one. It’s the new 125cc Honda model dubbed the Grom, a fuel-injected, single-cylinder machine with a four-speed transmission that’s designed for both newbies to learn on and experienced riders to play on.
Honda unveiled the new bike this morning. Available in red or black come August, the 2014 Grom weighs only 225 pounds, has a 29.7-inch seat height and 1.45-gallon gas tank. With an MSRP of only $2,999, the compact Grom seems well suited for nabbing newbies as well as veteran riders.
Also for the street, Honda took the rapper off a new 2014 Forza scooter. It features a 279cc, single-cylinder engine, a 35-liter rear trunk and optional ABS. It will be available in July. MSRP is $5,599 ($6,099 for ABS version).
So, what does the Grom look like in action? Take a look:
