Both are sick bikes. There are pros and cons of each. I decided to go with the Z125. Love it. They get a lot of attention on the road. Would love a track day! Thanks for sharing
I'd love to see yamaha throw one in the mix as well
me too...need a third sibling for these two little bikes
abbaby555 id buy it
It would definately kick ass
@@davidebellisario5300they have an mt125 in Europe. Sux we can't get it here
7 years later. If only the would
it's like watching bike racing in slo mo :)
haha...yes, but banging elbows at 50mph versus 100 is somewhat less scary
Love my Grom and the turn signals I got from you guys.
Thanks!
First. Grom is still#1 in my book.
Brandon Wilson there were times the Z could've over taken, he just let off the throttle.
Not exactly a fair fight as the Grom does not appear to be fully stock. Still, both bikes look like a hoot! The Kawi does have one big advantage and that is the extra 1.9L of fuel. That's a big difference on such little bikes as far as range is concerned.
The grom has subtle modifications done such as brake lines and an airbox mod but that's about it. Stay tuned for a part 2 to this video featuring both of these bikes plus another mini machine thrown in the mix!
I love my grom!! love motovlogging on it and everything. most fun bike I have ever had!
if these things are hitting here in the US im surprised no one has imported an Underbone from Asia. They look like so much fun
Look pretty evenly matched to me.
Nice video! Looks so fun!
how do they feel power and speed wise, ive heard the grom is better low end but the z125 walks it after 3rd gear
Power wise they are very similar. The grom has a little better top end actually but initial take off, Z was killing it almost every time. Take a look at our blog article posted in the description for an in-depth look!
All the dealers around me go hella low on grom prices and there's tons of eBay and Craigslist brand new ones for cheap af compared to msrp. I'm not actively shopping anymore cuz I already got my grom but everyone was selling the Kawasaki for straight msrp pretty much. I got my grom from a powersports place that went bankrupt and it had 5 miles on the odometer when I got it for like 2500
That looks like so much fun. I want to do that some time.
The only thing this tells me, is that the camera man is a bad driver compared to the other dude
Riber sure that‘s what all the z riders say :)
Rider
Looks like a go-cart track. Would be fun with those bikes.
i think it would be sweet to get like 2 groms and 2 Z's give them an amount of money to do mods but you cant mess with the motor size. just a thought
Hayden Honda that is a good idea. You've got my interest. If you come up with the terms we can see if we can put a budget on this and make a mini series. If you want to get involved in this please send a message through the support button on our website and ask for it to be forwarded to Bart.

hey guys ! was hoping one day you could do a sound clip on some aftermarket exhaust for the KTM rc 390 !
The RC 390 is actually a pretty small market. We may do some more videos on it but it will have to wait until all of our other video plans are realized.
I felt like the rider was driving more SAVAGE when he hoped on the grom!
Being a slightly taller rider, the GROM provided a little more comfort and leg room to maneuver the bike.
Creo que hay que ajustar lo de la reduccion de marchas y la trazada para tener mejor y mas veloz salida de curva, pero fuera de eso se nota que se lleva mas facilmente la honda!
which one would be better to take on the freeway?
Neither due to the fact that the top speed on these bikes aren't that high (around 65mph) and the speed limit for most highways is 70mph. They're better suited for city and backroad riding so we would not recommend them for any highway use.
Would a grom be a good commuter bike
If your commute involves only city and backroad riding, then yes. If you have to travel on the highway then it will definitely not work for that.
I think the Grom is better if you 5 ft 10 and up. The z is better for shorter riders. I'm 5 ft 7 and my knees tuck unlike the rider here. That's why I think Z is good up to 5ft10 and Grom for taller riders.
I have both. Love them
They are very similar bikes. Both are good but with subtle differences.
Boss ZX6-R which do you like more?
What bars did you all install on the Grom?
Pro Taper Honda Mini
So what are your plans for the the Honda Grom SF?
Once we get one in house we will be working up an entire parts package like we did for the original Grom and the Z125
TSTindustries awesome
I want to get into motorcycling and I'm 6'3. Which would work best for a tall person?
We would recommend you go with more of a Naked-Sport Touring motorcycle and feel out a lot of the different options they offer to see what feels best for you. There are different things you can do to bikes to make them better for you like changing handlebars, shocks, or rearsets to make the ride better and more comfortable.
i like z125
The Z offers so much more. Oil filter to adjustable shocks just to name a few.
OMG no way I race go karts here all the time, I did the league they hold on Thursday nights
Haha...cool. You will see us there again soon.
So, if you go off line on this track you hit tires. How cool is that. Tires have no place on track where motorcycles race.
you have no business going off line to the inside. The tires prevent cheaters from cutting corners.
GOOD KAWASAKI 哈哈 超车那不错
I need one. A Grom. White.
Get it. You will like it.
are both bone stock?
Grom has an airbox mod and different gearing. Other than that, they are completely stock. Take a look at our blog article posted in the description for an in-depth look!
why did the grom always start on the inside lane? bit of bias there
In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter on that track.
you can grip the tank better on the grom
Grom life forever!
This bike is a "just for fun" orientated bike or is a good option to be my first bike?
I want a bike for work (my work is near my house)
In your circumstance, this bike would be a perfect candidate for your first time purchase. These bikes can be considered "just for fun" but at the same time, they do teach you the fundamentals of riding. The power and weight ratio is significantly lower when compared to a sport bike so honestly, it does come down to your preferences. We will say when it comes to cost and long term, these smaller bikes definitely shine in that regard.
TSTindustries OK thank you very much. It's that I've seen a lot of videos of the Honda Grom and I always see that they use it for fun and not as a motorcycle for everyday use. It would be my first motorcycle. I am in doubt whether to choose this one or the ktm Duke 390
No problem at all Gabriel. Now that you mentioned the other bike in question, we would say go for the Duke 390. It has a couple extra cc's which would make it more usable for the street when compared to the grom. It is slightly bigger than the grom (size wise) but you will still enjoy riding it just as much..
TSTindustries thanks for your advice, I appreciate that
Absolutely, it's our pleasure!
Real good
Never thougt the Grom is going forward like that xD
what an uncomfortable riding position i dont understand why it has knee pads if your knees can safely be padded by your teeth
Fucking hell XD
so which one did you guys like the most? Z125 or Grom?
Both have pros and cons but they are equally fun to ride.
Would you lean more towards the Kawi since it is couple hundred dollars cheaper?
Think about the fact that there are more aftermarket upgrades available for the Grom. I don't know what you are going for with one of these but if you are going to race it I would consider the Grom. If it's just a fun little bike you are going to play on then the Z125 is less money and just as fun ion its stock form.
Yea I was thinking of a fun bike. Maybe use it to commute to work once in while.
honestly, you will be happy with either one.
Music?
what did you do to the stock airbox guys?
It's sitting by Jon's desk
+TSTindustries
Haha!!! gotcha!
What's the top speed on both?
60-70 depending on rider weight. Modifications can be made to increase top speed on both.
vinrx76 That's fast
We hoon these both on streets and on track. Love my Z, and feeling like it has the edge over Grom on track. Either is great, but Grom scrapes pegs way too easily, when compared to Z. Stupid fun!
how about duke 125 battle msx125 battle z125..hhhhh
it's not available in the USA
How come no one ever mentions the geometries of the saki, your knees cannot tuck into the tank, the pegs are too hi. 7 mins of bike designed for a 4 foot rider.
teamscreem everyone Ik that owns one is under aged and just avoids cops so Kawasaki and Honda know who their marketing too.
what;s wrong on you right hand?? keep the speed! u just let it down with meaningless turning
Honda
I was cheering for cowasaki
cow-a-socky?
GROMLIFE!
Z125 🤘🏼
who would ever buy one of These?
Quite a few thousand people actually. The Grom is quickly becoming Honda's top seller and the Kawasaki was just released this year. Don't knock it til you try it!
Tarantoz great around town bike. I park it on the sidewalk. It's not very good over 50mph. At least not for a bigger person like me. Did the tail of the dragon on it last week and had a blast.
The new Grom will look more aggressive than the Z, I love it
Yea the 2017 looks badass, looking to get one
trying to find a 16 as we speak but i thought the 16 was the start of the new street fighter look? if not I'm holding out for the 17. I've got my dealer on the search for a 16 right now but i thought it had the new look
2017 grom (streetfighterlook) is the 2016 model here in the rest of the world, the USA will be getting it early 2017 which is why some people call it 16 and some 17
I can't even watch the video where he has the camera position is annoying
need gta money thanks ya I took a GoPro vid with that mount and it sucks cuz it shows ur speed on mine so I can't post it. Waste of money the helmet mount sticker makes the speedometer just out of focus
Mrf 140 better
To each his own. ;)
Grom just has too much momentum already. It will be very hard for Z125 to crack unless notably better in some regard.
All good for both now
The Z125 doesn't evoke any of the positive styling queues from big brother.
So you mean to tell me you don't see similarities in lines and styling with the Z800?
TSTindustries I can see it. It just doesn't look as good as the grom. Kawasaki makes amazing bikes. I just don't how most of them look.
Goofy grom
spoiler alert. Honda is better than kawasaki period. can't argue with that.
Well if you put it that way, with all this supporting evidence that you presented, who can dispute that?
@@TSTindustrieslol
Groom is best
Probably the most annoying music ever.
Kawasucky.
hahaha...ok
Kawasexy ;)
+Jacob Clement I'm with you
aha you know it :)
Kwikasfuki
The Kawasaki sounds terrible
