Looking for a good deal on a grom. Not really entertaining the Kawasaki unless it’s like $1000

Now that I look at these, I don't these are 'Honda' Groms.

ya, model year 2012, Groms didn't come out till 2014, headlight & handlebars look like K-pipe, but not seat or 12" small front wheel, K-pipes are 17" wheels, I think it's just a chinese wannabe

Any Grom under a grand without obvious defects like blown motor or completely destroyed plastics is more than likely a clone.

They have a pretty hard bottom floor price and its amusing how ~10 years of Grom production and multiple facelifts manage to get compacted between ~$1500 to ~$3000 with a huge range of miles and condition being pressed all within ~1500 mile range of floor to ceiling pricing.

I think mine was ~$3500 or so OTD in 2013 or whenever the preorder year was.

what is your budget, because you might be wasting your time

Does Cole H. still have his “lightly used“ Grom for sale?

That might as well be stated as Stolen Grom for sale. No title.

Obviously run the vin before you buy it

Saw that. It’s in shit shape. Frame looked tweaked.

Correct. I talked to Sam about it.

[Jim]

i'd avoid the SP model (2021+) as they have transmission issues

I may get a Kawasaki Z. New $3250 out the door.

OTD wow good price

[boosten lebaron]

That's pretty close to Navi otd price. The Z seems like a better deal.

Navis locally are going otd for under $2200

[boosten lebaron]

Really? That seems crazy low. Every single one I have inquired about across multiple dealerships has always been about $3000. Freight alone would bring the price above 2200 at all of them. What dealer is selling them that cheap?

MSRP is $1807 + $200 freight, add docs gets you to $2200 Rochester Motorsports, a Navi is cheaper than a K-Pipe, they had several Navis the last time I was there, maybe a month ago now, so they may all be gone. I was picking up some VP 50:1 premix for my chainsaw

edit, none in inventory anymore, they had a dozen in line in the showroom last time I was there

that's pretty much MSRP for a Grom

because no one buys the Z125. the aftermarket options are basically nonexistent besides an exhaust and suspension that were meant for the Grom.

Try https://www.hondaworldmaine.com/ in Oakland, ME

When we bought the CRF110, I was gonna get one in NH, no sales tax. With all the fees they added, Oakland was like $1k cheaper INCLUDING sales tax. $2,600 bike, Oakland was ~$3k OTD, NH was ~$4k

I’ve owned both: OG Groms (2014/2015) and a 2017 Z125
Back in ~2018 I impulse bought a 2015 Grom, commuted on it for a summer before selling it to a friend when the garage got crowded.
Beginning of Covid, I wanted another mini for a runaround bike and found a Z125. The ergos were a little weird, definitely preferred the Grom ergos, but it got the job done.
A few months later, a nice OG Grom popped up for sale, I bought that, intending to replace the Z125.

Seeing the two of them side-by-side and riding them back-to-back, the Z125 seemed like a much better motorcycle. Better gauges, better fit/finish, better feeling transmission, and a real oil filter.
I had a hard time deciding if I really wanted to give that up just for better ergonomics on the Grom.
(Ended up selling them both and buying a Monkey)

I can’t speak to the newer Groms, other than I wouldn’t want the 2017-2021 mode with the stepped seat; I’m only 5’8 and found myself using the full flat seat on the OG model.
The OG and the Z125 that I owned concurrently, they were both essentially stock - top speed and acceleration were identical t

and a real oil filter.

Groms have a real oil filter with a common clutch cover that's about $330. most Grom fans have them.
