So, you're ready to order a 2014 Honda Grom. You've been day dreaming about it since the launch announcement, you followed the stories on news sites about the speculation, you've watched every video. Every bike you see transforms into one in your mind.
You even know which of the two colors you want, and you've started thinking about aftermarket parts, paint, decals, and you can't wait to ride it throughout town. The big question now: ARE THEY AVAILABLE NOW AND HOW DO I GET ONE, BECAUSE I CAN'T WAIT!
Short answer: YES!!!
Long answer: You need to contact a dealer and get in early. Honda dealers have been told to expect their first order of Grom's in the first week of August 2013. That means that if you have put yourself in line with a deposit, you should be in line to get a Grom soon!
How much of a deposit? Which dealers are the best to go to? Some of the details below should help you out with those questions:
Hopefully this helps you get your Grom faster.. I know most of us here are excited about this bike. Thanks to Rod's for the great info above and helping connect our great friendly members with their dream bike.

How much of a deposit? Which dealers are the best to go to? Some of the details below should help you out with those questions:
- Most dealers in the US are charging a $100 refundable deposit. This makes your decision process a bit easier. You also won't get one without one at this point. In the words of a dealer today: "It looks like the only way you are going to get a Grom is to put a deposit down or wait until 2014 when the shipments will pickup."
- Honda Powerhouse dealers are a better choice if you are worried about getting your Grom quickly. Powerhouse dealers get the bikes FIRST, and get automatic replenishment when a Grom is ordered -- meaning, they will have Grom's first, more of them, and get them back in stock faster. You can find a Honda Powerhouse dealer on Honda's website, or you can contact Rod's Power Sports in New England. They're very helpful, have 12 Grom's incoming of which 3 are currently allocated to customers, and have both colors coming, and as of June 15th they can hold one for you for $100 US as a deposit. URL: Rod's Power Sports, Lincoln, NE. Hurry though, they go fast! [aimgr=150]290[/aimgr]
- Non-Powerhouse dealers are only expecting one unit per month for the remainder of the year. If you are going to those dealers, you better get your deposit down and work fast!
- The MSRP on a 2014 Honda Grom today (June 15th, 2013) is $3224.00 US, which includes Destination, Fuel, Prep, and Setup. This will vary by State, and is the New England price, but gives you a guide of what your price should be when you are shopping for a Grom.
Hopefully this helps you get your Grom faster.. I know most of us here are excited about this bike. Thanks to Rod's for the great info above and helping connect our great friendly members with their dream bike.
