It's hard to not love Honda's little Grom. Whether you want to go racing on the cheap, or are looking for relatively inexpensive transportation that's actually, you know, fun, the Grom's got what you need. To recap, that includes a fuel injected, single-cylinder 125cc engine with four-speed gearbox and manual clutch, inverted 31mm fork, and 12-inch tires. The bike weighs 225 pounds and has a modest 29.7-inch seat height, plus passenger footrests for two-up riding.
Even better, Honda announced today that the 2015 Grom will now be available in a total of four color options, and with new graphics for the tank covers.
There was no word on whether or not those new graphics will cost you, but for reference, list price for the 2014 model was $2999.

TORRANCE, Calif. (Jan. 15, 2015) – Honda announced today that its Grom®, the compact motorcycle with a big attitude, will be offered in two additional colors for its second model year in the manufacturer’s lineup. For 2015, Yellow and Pearl White options join the popular Red and Black versions that were available in its successful debut model year, with all variants getting a new graphic treatment on the tank covers.
“We’re very pleased to close out our 2015 model lineup by offering the Grom in additional colors,” said Lee Edmunds, Manager of Motorcycle Marketing Communications at American Honda. “It has been exciting to see customers not only embrace this model, but make it their own, so adding new color options and a bit of flair made perfect sense. This model has spawned Grom-specific forums and clubs, and we look forward to seeing what customers do with the Grom in its second year.”
Since its debut, the phenomenal Grom has been celebrated as a unique, fun, impossible-to-pigeonhole motorcycle, and it shook up the market in a big way by creating its own dedicated scene. A sort of cultural chameleon, the Grom has already captured the imaginations of a diverse coalition of American enthusiasts, with owners finding new and imaginative ways to meet and interact with one another, and to express their personalities through their machines.
Still the only product of its kind on the market, the little Grom returns with all the same full-size motorcycle features, including a 124.9cc fuel-injected engine, an inverted fork, hydraulic disc brakes and a steel frame. The versatile machine has room for a passenger, and its curb weight is just 225 pounds.
• Colors: Yellow, Pearl White, Red, Black
