The Honda Grom has a massive cult following in the motorcycle community, and with good reason. The result? A bike that was nicknamed after the British slang term for hooligan-and it’s grown a helluva reputation to match that term since. Meet the Honda Grom-also called the MSX125, though a lawnmower already took that name in America, so Honda had to get creative. We couldn’t not put this one at the top of the list, guys.

But would you rather stay in the lower two gears on a Suzuki GSX-R1000R for the next hour or rip around on something a little easier to slap through the gearbox? That’s like saying you should get a tiger if you like cats. “The brand Hummer is dead, Lincoln doesn’t offer the Mark LT, and Range Rover is moving towards a more car-like vehicle for their flagship ‘SUV.’ Just as car buyers are beginning to sacrifice vehicle size for better mpg, bike riders are looking to smaller bikes to handle their two-wheel fix… with the release of KTM’s all-new RC390, Honda‘s new CB500X, CB500F and CBR500R, and Kawasaki’s Ninja 300R, the winds of change are clearly in motion.”īesides, whoever said bigger bikes were better is fibbing-at least for urban shiftwork. We’ll just leave the wise words of Happy Gilmore from YouMotorcycle here: There’s a more politically-minded reason why we’re going for smaller bikes for this list, too. While you might use your 2021 Yamaha Star Venture to eat up the miles on the trans-country expressways (or perhaps dig into the nearest anthill on your new 20 Super Adventure R), there’s something to be said for a cheap, wee-sized rolling ripper that can pack a punch and still dart through traffic without having to suck it in.
Small-bore bikes are, in a word, necessary. Last updated: JanuIt’s More Fun to Ride a Slow Bike Fast
