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.
