– Honda Grom 50 Scrambler Concept Motorcycles | Tokyo Motor Show –
The Honda Grom, also known as the MSX 125 in other parts of the country took the world by storm in early 2013. When Honda originally released the MSX / Grom there were no talks of it heading to the USA. Many of us that follow models from other parts of the country prayed to the Honda “Gods” that they would bless us with this awesome little 125 cc motorcycle. We got luck and in May of 2013 Honda announced they were bringing the MSX125 to the USA under the model-name “Grom 125”. We’ve been a Honda motorcycle dealer here at Honda of Chattanooga since 1962 and in 50 years we had never seen so much excitement over a single motorcycle! It was crazy! We had pre-order deposits backed up for 3+ months. I got lucky and had my name on one of the first Grom shipments in August of 2013 and to this day it’s still the most fun bike I own or have owned in the past. I’m getting a little sidetracked…

How could Honda make the Honda Grom 125 / MSX125 even cooler than it already is? Make a custom Honda Grom Scrambler! The interesting thing that has baffled quite a bit of people is that Honda threw a 50 cc engine in the Grom Scrambler Concept One and the Concept Two. It may just be me but they remind me even more of the vintage Honda Mini Trail 50 / Mini Trail 70 bikes. Why did Honda build these custom Groms? The 2015 Tokyo Motor Show is at the end of this month and Honda has pull out all of the stops with some awesome concept / prototype motorcycles, cars, personal mobility devices and any other toy you could imagine that has to do with technology. Want to see some of these other items that will be on display for the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show? You can check out my post here going over all of the concept models, production models etc that Honda will be showcasing like the Light Weight Super Sports Concept (CBR250RR), 2016 CBR500R, CB1100 Concept, CB1100 Custom Concept, Wander Stand and more!
Check out the attention to detail on some of the custom additions to these Concept Grom Scramblers as Honda really pulled out all the stops on these and didn’t skimp on one part of the bike.
UPDATE / EDIT: Here’s a few of the Honda Grom Scrambler concept / prototype sketch drawings before Honda actually built the bikes.
Opinions? Will the Honda Grom 50 Scrambler make it into production for the 2016 Honda motorcycle model lineup? What do you think about the (2) Grom Scramblers? Which Grom Scrambler is your favorite?
Fast forward (original post from 2015) and we’re into the 2019 Motorcycles and still no Honda Grom Scrambler models to buy. Sadly. The New 2019 Honda Monkey 125 does have a couple styling traits that were pulled from the concept Scrambler models.
the concept one is my favorite one. It reminds me of the scrambler I owned in 1966. I had a 250 and two 305’s.
I sure hope that they make this one. I would buy one and my brother would buy one.
These Honda Grom Scramblers are the coolest bikes I have ever seen and be fun to commute around town.
I hope they make a 125 or bigger one.
@disqus_juSDVramtb:disqus I’m right there with you on that one. The concept one is my personal favorite too. I love the kinda old school look / style that it is. I have some of the concept design drawings before both of the concept Groms were actually built if you’d like to see them. That’s cool to hear you had some old school scramblers too! I recently sold a 1968 CL350 Scrambler that was a #1 condition bike with only 5,000 miles on the clock. Had some cool history behind it as my dealer sold it new back in 1968 too and managed to get our hands back on it a few years back. The picture doesn’t do it justice but it’s the best one I had saved on my phone.
If you enjoy riding motorcycles for the fun of it and it sounds like you do – you’ll love the Grom. I have one personally as well as a few other bikes and then I have access to anything on the showroom floor and I’ve got to say I’d rather ride my Grom any day of the week. It’s amazing how much fun they are! Especially when you have a few of them together, I’m lucky and have 13 friends with them and talk about bringing out your inner kid inside while also reminding you why you got into motorcycles in the first place which is because of the fun factor. Mine isn’t anything special but if you want to check out my Grom there’s a few pictures in the menu bar under “My Honda Grom”. Sorry for the long winded comment haha, when I get to talking motorcycles I could talk all day and night long.
People are going to love what Honda has up their sleeves for the Grom in the very near future…
Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog and posting up a comment as well. Appreciate it!
