YOU NEED ONE OF THESE! I had a chance to ride one a couple weeks ago, all I can say is they are so much fun, and customization options are endless! We should have one in store late August. 2014 MSX125 Grom Easy to use, fun and functional, the original leisure motorcycle was defined by Honda in 1963 with the iconic, small-wheeled Monkey bike and continued with the Dax and Ape. Manufactured in Thailand the MSX125 is small enough to be supremely manageable yet also has a fully-fledged feel thanks to some standard sized motorcycle parts. It is part mini-bike, part motorcycle. Features The MSX125’s 125cc two-valve air-cooled engine is based on one of Honda’s most well-proven power units; recently employed in the Wave 125i, over 930,000 have been produced since initial introduction in 2003. This fuel-injected engine packs a perfect blend of punchy roll-on performance with useful, accessible and fun all-round ability. It’s won universal praise over the last decade for fuel efficiency, ease of use and longevity. The MSX125 also features a motorcycle-style four-speed gearbox and clutch. A steel mono-backbone frame has been employed. Its rigid, square-section tube joins the headstock directly to the swingarm pivot plates. and every other part in effect hangs visibly from the frame, greatly contributing to the MSX125’s minimalist look. The 31mm USD fork, a first for Honda on a 125cc motorcycle reduces unsprung weight and offers improved damping feel throughout the stroke. The top and bottom yokes are full-sized enhancing handling and rider feel while a lightweight and robust single rear shock operates a simple and tough H-shape, 50mm x 25mm steel box section swingarm. The new frame structure has also enabled efficient storage of PGM-FI-related components and electrical parts inside the tank cover without reducing fuel capacity (5.5 litres). The MSX125 has a low 765mm seat height making it very manageable. Its size also ensures that motor home owners are sure to find it easy to load/unload, transport and use. The MSX125 uses a combined projector headlight, a subtle blue light flanks the projector lens and adds character and visibility while the bright LED taillight melts seamlessly into the bike’s stubby silhouette. Easy to read for its compact size the LCD digital dash delivers all the information the rider needs – speedometer, twin trip meters, fuel gauge and clock. RRP $5000
