2014 HONDA GROM
While all those words
describe the new Honda
Grom to a tee, the word that
will be most used to sum up
the Grom will likely be fun.
Though it will probably be
a bit more descriptive than
that. As in, "Damn that thing
is so much F-ing fun. Holy
crap that thing is fun."
Honda introduced the
new Grom to members of
the motorcycling media
recently at its Californian
headquarters in Torrance
and to a man/woman,
you would have been hard
pressed to find anyone who
didn't gush superlatives af-
ter riding it. Okay… they all
basically said it was "fun."
Funny how a little bike
like the Grom can cause
such a fuss. In fact, we're
not sure we can recall a
bike with so much hype…
and at $2999 it's $19,996
cheaper than the last motorcycle that came with
such fanfare – the Ducati
Panigale.
So what is the Grom?
Well it's… it's… it's kind
of difficult to explain. It's a
mini-streetbike. For those
of you with a long memory,
it's a Honda Monkey Bike.
On HGH. More than any-
