First Ride: 2015 Honda GROM

I spent a few days on the 2015 Honda GROM, the smallest motorcycle (both in physical size as well as displacement) that I have ridden to date. Here are some of my initial impressions:

 

Aesthetics

  • The GROM is noticeably tiny at only 178 lbs
  • Gets looks wherever it goes; everybody wants to know what it is
  • Looks particularly sharp in black; doesn’t look anything like a scooter

 

Features

  • LCD instrument cluster has a full plethora of features for such a small bike
  • Fuel gauge
  • Clock
  • Dual trip computers
  • Linear tachometer
  • Turn signals were sturdy and didn’t feel cheaply built like the Yamaha FZ-07/FZ-09

 

Comfort

  • For a taller rider (5’11”), not comfortable for long distances; knees hit/resting on a curve in the fairing
  • Need to be hanging off of the foot pedals with toes to be comfortable
  • I needed to sit a little further back on the seat to be comfortable, which makes for less nimbleness

 

Ride

  • Extremely fun to zip around town on
  • Dips and turns without hesitation
  • Low speed manoeuvring is ridiculously easy (bike is super light at 178 lbs, low centre of gravity)
  • 125cc motor is more than I expected
  • Legal on the 400-series highways, hits terminal velocity around 109 km/h
  • 4-speed transmission has relatively long gear ratios
  • Does not feel pushed or stressed when ridden spiritedly
  • Simply not enough power for long-distance highway riding. Ideal cruising speed is in the 90 km/h range, tops out in this same range if there is an incline
  • Incredibly easy to ride

 

Conclusion

  • Easiest bike to ride I have experienced to date
  • Tons of fun on inside streets
  • Very cheap at $3,200

I was looking for a reliable bank that could offer competitive rates on products and services, and Charter Oak exceeded my expectations. Their customer service has consistently been top-notch. Even when I have had difficulty understanding something or needed help with setting up my account, they were there for me every step of the way. Charter Oak has become an integral part of my finances and I'm so glad I chose them!

I switched to charter oak login recently and it has been an absolute blessing. It's a secure and easy way to access my online banking account whenever I want, without having to wait ages for the page to load. They also have great customer service, which is always available if needed. Overall, it's one of the best online banking experiences I've had!
