Honda grom 125/MSX 125

[RyanDuke390]

A Thai Honda MX 125 Grom retails for about $1,800.00 in Thailand. That is its primary market

Copies of it sell in China for around 7000 RMB.

If a list of who sells a similar design in China was created it be a long list and so would after market parts.

Also altering off originals, like dropping in a high output engine in most countries makes it no longer street legal. For example in the US the engines are sold but for racing, only because some some people race tiny bikes. If you get caught with one that is modified on the streets they can confiscate it and the crime is falsification of registration and a felony in most states.

In Taiwan the groms are registered by VIN number only. For some reason they do not put imported motorcycles engine numbers on the registration here, only Taiwan made products get the engine number put on the registration card. So swapping in say a Thai performance 235cc 4v finbro engine putting out 27hp is not problem here, even if pulled over. Most likely most readers could give two sh&ts but who knows might be good to know if coming to Taiwan.

In China I have noticed a lot of electric Grom clones. Those seem to be semi-popular and not all that uncommon.

I still remember seeing the first mini, it was the KSR 110 in Thailand.
But interestingly enough I learned of one most people haven't heard of,
and it's pretty much one of the best mini's out.

The KSR 80 was a two stroke, making it lighter and more powerful.
It looks like a blast to play around on.
