- After owning 4 Honda Groms I figured it was time to put together a Ultimate Honda Grom Buyer's Guide for those looking for how much to pay when purchasing a new or used Honda Grom from the dealership or from a private seller. #hondagrom #grom #buyersguide

Photogromer thanks
Let me buy a grom from u in 2 years
what part of florida do you live in?
I just like to know what kind of gas mileage does a stock Grom get. I just want some thing super cheap on gas to ride to work.

You should make another video on the other side of things “don’t over charge for a Grom”. Most Grom owners don’t know how devaluation works, your 2015 6k mile Grom ain’t work 3.2k even with mods.
Well this video is probably being watched by sellers too. If they don’t get their $3.2k maybe they will figure it out. I dunno it’s a tough pill for some people to swallow when going to sell. Best advise is part every mod out and return the grom to stock. You’ll maximize your return.
Facts
3.2k?
I see them not even running for 3.5k bro where you from.
@@armanimckoy2168 not california
@@armanimckoy2168 right? It’s hard finding them for under $3500 in decent condition…it’s ridiculous
This makes me way more confident in buying a grom used .
I hear ya. Makes me want to buy new, though im highly inexperienced mechanically to call out all the red flags
I have no qualms about buying a used grom but all of them for sale around me are asking way over the price of a new one so new one for me it is. Also the new ones have a 5th gear and few other changes anyway. Was gonna buy a new 2020 from a dealership but they wouldn't honor the 400 rebate listed on the honda website so the difference to a 22 is 200 bucks. Might as well get the new one for that little difference.
They are cheap brand new
Their going for 1500 In my area for used 2022s I wanna cry rn I'm buying one by December catch me in sc fam
I WISH people around my area would watch this. All the used groms are priced at 3000-3500 and it’s because they dumped 1k into aftermarket parts. I’ve tried so hard to negotiate and I always get “I know what it’s worth.” So stupid!!
I can't believe they hit you with the ole reliable, "I know what it's worth"😂
2 years later I can't find one under 3500.
Clap back with a "if you knew what it was worth, you would have already sold it"
@@dubsteppro777lol word.
You must be in florida. Every single person is a con artist or scamer, sack of shit. Fb market place is asking for 2k for a bike with rust no tires missing half the engine and no wheels so that's like all the other ones on market place. Also if they have an actual bike that works they have like 80k- 100k miles. I want out of this shity state. God I can't wait. Hope this state falls in the ocean with everyone.
This guide was clearly made before COVID. Used Groms are going for $3000+ on the marketplace. Many for more than the $3500 sticker price of a new one.
'Remember all sellers are liars' yup
Not true
@@warrenblood7710 I think the point is to treat all sellers as liars, as it is not uncommon for someone selling a used vehicle to lie about it's condition to make it easier to sell.
I know it's happened to me in the past. 👍
As well as. Buyers are liars. It’s one of the first rules in sales.
"I've seen people put 10,000 miles on it their first year."
...Im coming up to 17,000 on a 2019.... Ooof....
Get it!
18k in 12 months here...
How fast does it go ??

Great video! I bought my ‘15 in ‘17 for $2,400. Had just under 400 miles on it. Guy only used it to go a few miles each day to and from college. Completely stock and never abused. Seemed like a good deal to me. Bike is still running strong today!
Me too the blue OG in this video bought for $2400 in ‘17 too. Good price then for sure
There were others cheaper in my area, but they were higher mileage and clearly had been less cared for. I’m pretty happy with what I got. And yeah that blue bike was sharp!
How many miles today?
@@analyticalhabitrails9857 mine only has a little under 2100 miles now.
Got my OG for $1300 with 746 miles. They are out there! Just gotta get lucky af.
Yup buddy of mine got a OG 2014 garage kept exhaust and fender delete and bars on it 400miles 2k and I just got my 2019 for 3400 in May brand new lol I was like damnnnnnnn but it’s all good both having good times now cheers
Used OG grom usually sold around RM5000 (Around $1200+) when it available to sale. Pretty rare. Used AF model start around $1.6k to $2.1K here in Malaysia. Yea, overprice used grom exist. Its better just a buy a new one. New 2019/2020 model price at $2.8k (including tax+insurance). Most people I know, import their grom directly from Thailand. Brand new cost only $2.2k.
holy shit thats a steal
Love how detailed this video is man! A+
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m about to buy a grom for college and this has answered all my questions
Thanks, I was worried about buying used but now I'm feeling a bit more confident about it.
Been looking into buying my first bike finally and I think this just made my decision final, thank you
WOW! Thank you so much! as a newbie rider looking for a Grom, this is amazing information.
Thank you ! 40 + years motorcycle mechanic everything you said is spot on ! 👍 Please be safe everyone ! Gary K
Thank you dude you’re the best!!!! And I usually don’t comment on videos because I don’t think anyone cares tbh. But this video was extremely helpful in any way possible. Again thanks bud!
Thank you for this guide. I reallllllyy want a Grom now
Haha, wish you would have came out with this video a few weeks ago. I just bought 2 brand new groms from the dealership! 😤
Just don’t sell them next month 😂
Did the same. Got a 2020 abs and well I could have possibly bought two used ones 😂
Look on the bight side
You get to break it in and know every single thing thats happened to it
I bought a used and wish I would have been able to find a new one. Then I would have known everything about it
@@justsomegarage I keep telling myself that too lol
Awesome great video bro. I been making 12 bar for my friends here in Hawaii , looped out last week and will say my 12 bar saved my bike !!!!!
Thanks so much ... I never owned a grom. Always wanted one ☝️.. always had 600 and 1000 bikes . But I want a fun bike ... now I’m more confident and more informed on models difference
Bikes are damn near free in December here in Wisconsin 😂
It was funny him saying Wisconsin and Florida. I live in WI trying to move to fl
Love your channel bro, just subbed! Helps a lot
Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I was needing.
Dude, excellent video. You definitely did you research and have a high know of wheeling and dealing.
Ty for taking the time to make this video. I'm buying one this coming tax return. Can't wait to trick it out now that I know the clutch is cheap af...Mahalo
As always! Beautiful video!!
I was trying to buy that white grom in inverness with the power commander. I had to wait til after work to drive out there and someone snaked it from me. Now i know who that is.
😂😂😂🤷♂️
You’re a king for this video, hoping to get my first bike soon 😊
Nice! I'd like to get one in the future. Thanks for the Information
I’m new to the riding world, period. Was going to look at a regular sized bike but honestly decided to swallow my pride and ego and go with possibly a grom. Thank you for making this video, it makes me want to buy one even more and learn the basics.
I was just looking into buying one, Thank You!
Good luck on your Honda Grom purchase 🤘
This is an awesome video! Cant wait to get one
Add at least $500 for California pricing! Anything under $3K is gone/sold within hours in sunny CA.
That perfect weather all year round tax is no joke 😂
Yup in LA a used one is the same price or even more than a new 2020! Ima just buy a new one screw it
Yes okay I was watching this thinking “Where is this man finding so Groms for under 3k” in California I have never found anything under 2.5k and anything under 3k is rare.
amazing vid bro. im too young to buy a grom but when i can you bet ill but one!! specially after seeing this video. great video man!
dont buy a grom buy a yamaha r3 if you're a beginner
Thx for this video. Really good tips
Spot on information . Great video!
Thanks!
Thanks for the info!

Thank you.
Great, helpful video!
Thanks for this video! Me and my girlfriend both ride CBR’s and plan to ad 2 grom’s this year! It’s gonna be fun!
Not planning on buying a grom, but glad i got recommended this video.
Thanks for the buyers guide. 😁
Hello Photogromer, my name is Steve from Sydney, Australia. I really liked this video to give me some scope into how much groms are in the U.S.
I have 2 groms 2017 blue & a 2016 yellow
I bought my 1st grom from the dealership in Sydney, for $3750 AUD. ( roughly $2700 USD ) that was with tax and with a year of on road cost. Aka registration and insurance. There is definitely a bit of a price difference between our 2 countries. I just found that interesting. I can't wait to see the new 2021 Honda Grom colors. I've been looking around for them since you showed them in a older video of yours.
Take care all the best
All the way from Sydney Australia
SHTOIVEN 😝
Thanks for the insight!
When it comes to Grom market, don't buy from Ohio, we kinda are rough on them, we hit everything, deer, trees, people, scooters.....mailboxes......
Oh Hell, so true. We fuchin' RIDE our Groms!
I heard Cleveland people are extra special.
I'm from Mid Ohio River Valley in WV. I'd see Ohioans cross the river and they couldn't drive.
@@GromBeardo I live in Ohio and can barely find any groms to buy that are half worth it...
@@limeninja1136 Dude, I got real lucky with my first one. They are out there, but man you gotta be looking all the time. Best deals I've found pop up in the local FB groups before hitting the marketplace. Keep looking, you'll find one 💪
I’m looking to buy a grom and this is really helping me!
Fantastic Video!
Excellent video
Good information brother
Amazing vid definitely want to buy one now. Been looking but seeing this makes me more confident on what to look for and knowing you put videos out on maintenance and such puts the nail in the coffin.
New subscriber. I’m a female so this is very helpful , I def over paid for my used grom and I’m hoping everything works
Great video, I definitely feel more confident in buying a used one now thank you
Do you think a 2019 grom abs with 500 mild, exhaust for listed price of 3,300 I should ask 2,500.00 or should I give him more, and should I get a ABS one?
Depends on your market but I wouldn’t pay that much. What exhaust? How much is it new? Abs is a joke on a grom so I wouldn’t pay extra for it although msrp is higher for it so the seller might have more money into it because he bought a abs grom (his problem). Unless you’re brand new to riding and panic brake is a real possibility, the abs isn’t worth it on a glorified scooter. As I said in the video I wouldn’t pay more than 2500$ for a grom but I also have one already so if it’s my first grom maybe if you want it bad you’re willing to over pay instead of waiting to save a couple hundred bucks. I’d say under $2800 you’re over paying but could sleep at night. Again supply demand for your area.
Was thinking to go the dealership route but naaaahhh thanks for the info I subbed
A large piece of cardboard can help shield loud exhaust sound when listening for engine noise, listen to the engine from both sides. Great tips Eric! Congrats on the purchase! 👍🏍
Glenn R thanks Glenn, good tip 💪
You can close off the exhaust with tour show. Always around. Feet can stay in, that is faster
Thank you. I have been saving up to buy a bike to learn on before buying a real bike this is the perfect video. Only thing is in my area is used Grom is only around $200 less than new and not good condition so not really worth used
Killer tips, I have my market place notifications on and got updated about a 2020 grom near me! Has 300 miles and a clean title in hand and payed 2500! It took 2 months but like you said it all worked out!
How do I put on marketplace notifications? That's an awesome feature I didn't know about!
Ayy, fellow Pinellas County man, thanks for this buyers guide!
Happy to help!
yup, Wisconsin here, can confirm the market changes just like the seasons do here.
“Again, subscribe” Say no more! Great video!
Thank you!
bought a full stock 2020 with 0 miles from a private seller for $2800 today. happy with my purchase
Love it mang
I’ve wanted one since I learned about the bike in 2018 but I’m one of those people that are crazy about something for weeks then go months without thinking much about it. But I really want one this 2021(hopefully a 2020 model for a fair price) and I’m painting that b purple!! Fuel economy mods too!!
I have no mechanical know-how and purely want a grom because it looks like a fun little bike to get me from a-b, it's very intimidating hearing you talk about what to look for when buying it because I know the basic concept but it'll take me a bit to learn my way around it.
Haha I laughed when he mentioned Wisconsin, because that’s where I am and it’s middle of Winter as I’m looking for a Grom
I just got an og grom- just dirty, 3400 miles, for 1800! It was in a guys side yard. Put low sale price so I was under 2k registered. I’m putting knobby tires and wrapping it. Super stoked
subscribed for the fellow Tampanian !!
If I could like this video twice. I would !! Nice!!
Good information I am a new subscriber. My wife and I are in our 60s and have retired from our jobs and I want to buy myself a gently used Grom and for my wife a new Navi to get around on when we visit different RV parks. Before seeing this video I was thinking I would have to spend over 3 thousand for a decent used bike but now I’m thinking more like 2,500 will get it done… Thanks
Just got my 2022 today. Pick it up soon
great video
just bought a used 2019 grom big bore keep you updated so far it’s a beati
THNX
This is dope.
amazing video
Just bought a 2020 grom with 1300 miles with a yoshimur exhaust and pro taper handlebars. Excited to put some miles on this thing
Great video. I'm looking at them now on Facebook Market and can't find a single one listed under $3k. Absolutely crazy.
Inflation is real but its coming back down
Everyone has a unique experience. I got a grom new, immediately upgraded it, & change the oil & filter overly often // its my commuter bike // I am that asshole going 55 on the freeway in the right lane // lol // 19 Grom SF / PCV-WB2 + CAI + Kitaco Clutch Cover & 3 row oil cooler // no stunting, though I have pegged it to 71 mph going downhill with a tailwind ducked // I really like 3rd gear all around & obviously 4th at freeway / highway speeds // I really like the small light feel of the bike / much more comfortable than our previous GSX-R600 & Honda CBR600F4 before that / we also have a 13 PCX purchased new. We plan to keep both a long time ^^ they are great fun to ride! Cheers & safe travels & Godspeed
Super Excellent information - looking to buy a fun small bike for my retirement. Thanks a bunch - see ya later !! ( subscribed ) 👍
This video is amazing you just got a new subscriber and a like from me
Thanks Larry 💪
Sold 2 2018 groms with under 1k miles for $3k each this summer. Bought them used last summer with 200 miles each for $1800 ea. Used Market is very well this summer because dealers didn’t have excess inventory. Sold a rebuilt tile 17 w 3k miles for $2300 as well
Nice good job on the flip 💪
I picked up a 2019 for $2800 with 144 miles on it. It’s brand new 😁. The guy was 300# fellow. Took my time and waited and looked etc etc. in the Facebook market it was found. Red SF brand new no scuff nothing.
Only thing they done was add the rear fender delete and Olins shock. I was lucky because the ad was there for 7 hours when I hit him up. So I found a super unicorn.
Parts ordered so far ...Z&Z 12 O Clock, Rear Sets, axel sliders,shorty levers, KLX110 bars, 14T front, 36T rear and non O-rings gold chain.
Nice mods on the way. My second set of zz rear sets just showed up this week for my new used grom. Waiting on the getbent subcage. Such a good feeling when those parts start showing up on your doorstep!
Photogromer by the way I am going to get a DRZ400SM this year or next year. Probably new, because they are rare here to find in descent shape. That’s if you find one.
Nice they are just big groms. 💪
COOL VIDEO.. OMG, your buddies SF motor is DONE...LOL Have two OG's and a SF personally.
Good video.
My groms a 15' and is showcase condition, runs great. Its mint with 8,500 miles
love the video. It's literally cheaper to buy new then used up here where I am in NY. my whole marketplace is 17,18,2019 groms with like 5k miles for 3300. Its insane.
Yeah market is a little bonkers right now. Lot of stimulus and tax checks burning holes in pockets
@@Photogromer crazy to see you respond to this old of a video. I’ve really been debating a grom. I’ve committed to university of Tampa and I’ve been riding dirt bikes since I was 10. I just don’t know if a grom will be enough for me or not. I just figure it would be because of of how popular they are around the Tampa area. They are just so much cheaper/ newer then any supermoto I would get near that price range! Love to see you still respond to these old videos though! Good shit
@@nickchristofora3417 if you live near campus you'd love a grom. Wally (if you watch Coast2Coast videos, you'll know who he is), went to USF and lived off-campus, took the Grom to school every day, and hit rides at night. Supermotos are fun but the Grom scene is so large in Tampa I think you'd have more fun on that for day-to-day commuting and riding with the group. Cheers
Love your vids of you and the grom hoodlums.... Ques. I am a senior, would it be stupid to get into a grom for off road easy fun for exploring backroads... thank you for your many vids...
As long as you know how to ride off road you’ll be fine. Hey can handle dirt well with some off road tires.
I'm going through a mid life experience and bought an ssr pit bike not to long ago and really wishing I would have just waited to drop another g or two and got a grom. perfect kind of starter bike to cruise around on before getting something bigger like a kawasaki z 400.
BROO thank you. I just picked up a 2018 for 2900 with 1500 miles. Had all the confidence because I knew what to look for! Mine came with the yoshi exhast, power commander, bars, etc. Not to mention all the stock parts. Youre the best man
Right on!
It amazes me what some people ask for their groms! Here in Nebraska you can find some great deals but watching the grom groups some people (East/west coast) are asking over 3k for a 5000 mile grom.
Yah they overpaid or their wives said they gotta sell their grom and they don’t really want it to sell 😂
i just bought a 2018 for $2500... i love it already, check it out on my channel !
@@Drive315 how many miles ? Was it modded? I'm trying to buy one myself.
GI?
@@Photogromer a new grom bike cost about 4600 euro here in the netherlands... something like 5300 dollars i think
Thank you
I got me a unicorn! $1800 2014 og mint stock with 1800 miles. Well unicorn for the Texas prices lol
Great and very informative video. BTW, is your real name Photogromer?
Yes, it is! My momma and poppa knew I was destined for greatness 😂
I’ve been in the market for a grom but considered buying a normal motorcycle. However, being first time rider I wanted to get some practice so a grom was a great idea. only thing is I can’t imagine what the size is compared to my height I’m 5’9” and wasn’t sure if it would look stupid with me on one. I only need it to get to things around town when I’m how for my 34hr resets with work. I mistakenly found this video and it has made me more confident in picking one up. Thanks for making this video
I'm 6 foot flat and it is almost perfect for me honestly I love the little thing.
@@d3athquid0x87 this is good to know I’m only 5’10” so shouldn’t be a issue lol thanks man
@@work2livelifestyle767 anytime. I'm also have been between 170 on it to 210 and honestly there's not much of a speed difference honestly. It's fun man think of it like a 125cc dirtbike but motorcycle and u will enjoy it just take care of it. I'd say anyone up to about 300 lbs can enjoy this wonderful toy
I'm saying weight BTW
I'm 6"2 should it be okay? Which 1 is the best ? 2023 ?
being a “mechanic” and constantly working on my car and my moms car for her, one of the things i’m most excited about getting a bike is the easy of working on it, a single cylinder motor is gonna be a lot easier to work on then a big ass v6 or even v8, this is completely not the topic of the video but it was mentioned enough that i just had to say it
Been looking at Groms for the last two weeks and saw this video like holy cow those are all the ones I've been looking at in Tampa area. Got lucky and found a 2015 Unicorn with 2100 miles for $1800. Was only listed for 2 hours.
SF 2020 ..Love it !!! 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
I hope i have like this honda grom for my first bike even..i love it..
Harley rider - never rode a grom - love this video lol
