Is anyone else surprised that the coolest new bike is a 125?

Probably hasn't happened since the 70s

Pretty cool, isn't it? Liter bike motors are pushing new heights of horsepower, and here comes the Grom at the other end of the spectrum.

Since the Yamaha YSR-50, 1987 time frame

and for Honda the 1970 SL-125

I was speaking with one of the local Honda powerhouse dealers and they were telling me how Honda is now letting their engineers go buck wild on new bike designs, I think the Grom is just the beginning!

The CB125S was a very cool bike, as well. This was taken last night in Seattle at the monthly Backfire Moto meeting.

Coolest new bike since the ... Ruckus. I really wish that Honda had'nt done away with the Big Ruckus so quickly!

I for one am happy these smaller displacement bikes are getting the recognition they are. I'm sure the huge mpg ratings played a pretty big role here in the U.S.. The overall handling, miniscule insurance policies, and very cost efficient parts are just the icing on the cake!

I agree. It's hard to find any magazine or publication these days that don't only cover all the huge, higher cc machines, or they just have a small write up on something like this.

Cycle World for example in a recent issue had mention of the Grom on the front cover so I flipped frantically through the pages only to find a measley half page BS little write up.

Glad I have the Internet in my pocket these days, screw magazines.

I've owned several street bikes but the zuma is the only one that put a smile on my face the entire time I rode it!

I'm assuming the Grom will do the exact same and be way more fun!

Can't wait for mine!

The last time it happened, gas prices were nuts, just like they are now. Its not surprising!

I've always wanted one of these

 

[Doc]

I hope that this is the start of a trend. I think a lot of people buy too much bike.

 

[mr.chops]

this bike will change the way people think and ride imo... my last bike was a 08 600rr, yet i cant wait to try this badboy!

 

[FunSize]

I think it's still somewhat a secret so I'm looking forward to getting one of the first ones in the state!

 

[tantrman]

I have a 93 EZ90 Cub and now I must own a Grom to go with it. Leave it to Honda to come up with a kick butt mini

As long as you like the bike and it works for you who cares about the size.

The CB125 had always been popular in the vintage world. , Prof Stack. Are you getting a Grom. I'm having a hard time finding any soon to be new Gromers in the Seattle area.

 

[timmyspiegs03]

I had that exact same bike sitting in my garage years ago, my uncle parked it there and said it was worth a LOT of money...... Are these bikes valuable ???

 

[swankster]

You boys got it all wrong; this baby was the mightiest of all the 125's.
Revs like a Mfer above 20,000 RPM. nothing sounded better ..........except maybe there 250cc
