Wider ratios give the ’22 Grom a little more legs in the latter half of the gearbox, creating a smoother riding experience, not to mention the light and effortless shifts.

A five-speed gearbox and new ratios improve the ride.

A slightly larger 2.5-liter airbox helps the air-cooled lump breathe freer, and a redesigned two-piece exhaust system keeps things simple for those looking to upgrade and tease out precious ponies. Honda engineers did owners a solid and have ditched the old-school oil-spinner, which required the side cover to be pulled to be serviced.

Maintenance and upgrades are easier these days.

Everything about this engine is inviting, whether you are stretching the throttle cables and banging off the 8250 rpm redline with your buddies or popping down to the shop. It’s a joyful little thumper that has enough chutzpah to put up 55 mph relatively quickly-65 mph if you’re drafting. Accompanied by higher compression, that all adds up to a little more torque off the line. We’re hitting double-digit horsepower figures! The new undersquare mill boasts a smaller bore and longer stroke. The 2022 Grom’s updated 125cc single-cylinder engine kicks it up a notch.Heck, the new LCD dash is clean, easy to read, and includes a gear indicator. Not only that, but Honda has partnered with Throttle Jockey to offer various graphic kits-the HRC livery kit adds horsepower, trust me. The body panels are removed with three bolts, letting owners make changes on a whim. Honda knows how to preach to its choir and, judging from the sheer amount of aftermarket support for the Grom, the flock is ready. At the end of the day, Honda has seized upon a simple formula: an engine + two wheels = unadulterated joy. Still, we must do it as a matter of record and because we’re professionals (see photo of me on the Queen Bee Yellow Grom covered in mud as evidence). It is a bike that is far more than the sum of its affordably speced-out parts. I fully accept that diving into the nuts and bolts of a Grom is a little silly, seeing as the Grom is easily one of the least pretentious, unintimidating, and inviting motorcycles on Earth.

The 2022 Honda Grom is all about the simple pleasures of riding.

It’s a place where fans of minibikes, scooters, and motorcycles can partake in a bevy of smile-inducing events ranging from hitting the kart track, hill climbs, stunting, gymkhana, drag racing, off-roading, and much more. In its third generation, the 2022 Honda Grom receives a heavily revised 125cc engine with a five-speed gearbox and a slightly larger fuel tank, along with new styling and upgrades to make customization that much easier.We headed off to the Barber Small Bore event, presented by MNNTHBX (purveyors of all things small and fun), hosted at the prestigious Barber Motorsports Park to sample the new Grom.
