2022 Honda Grom 125 SP

Check out this sweet ride!

The Grom SP is a special version of the regular Grom.

This particular one has been treated to a few more special goodies:

-Rear fender delete

-Brand new grippy Heidenau SM tires

-Bar end mirros

-Variety of anodized hardware throughout

After getting an edgy styling refresh in 2017, the Grom was updated for 2022 with a new look, a revised engine, a new transmission, a larger fuel tank, and a thicker, flatter seat.

The goal was to make the Grom easier to customize, more comfortable, and – dare we say it – more practical.

The Grom is half the size of a modern standard. It doesn’t occupy much garage real estate and it is one of the easiest street-legal motorcycles you can ride.

If we had to retake a motorcycle endorsement skills test, it would be aboard a Grom.

Despite its diminutive size and sub-4-foot wheelbase, the cockpit can accommodate full-size adults. A flatter one-piece seat, with denser foam, makes it easy for tall riders to scoot back in the saddle opening up legroom.

There’s also room for a pal, with a weight capacity of 309 pounds.

A helmet hook beneath the seat keeps your lid safe when away from the vehicle.

As opposed to a scooter, the Grom offers a traditional and manual motorcycle experience.

The cable-actuated clutch offers light lever pull with a wide engagement. Throttle response is mellow and well suited for new riders.

Although there is no lever position adjustment, the OE setup works for a wide range of hands.

A new five-speed gearbox adds versatility, both in terms of acceleration and fuel mileage in top gear. The first four cogs are shorter as compared to the previous four-speed design.

However, fifth gear is a tad taller, which helps eke extra mpg at highway speed. We registered upwards of 97 mpg.

With its larger-capacity fuel tank it gives a 240-kilometer range between fill-ups.

Outright top speed on level asphalt is roughly the same (100 kph).

However the ‘22 Grom is capable of achieving extra speed down hills.
