Best Grom Clone
Hi there.
I have looked high and low on the Internet for a Grom Clone comparison to figure out the best model to buy. As a 14 year old I saved up to buy a Yamaha AS2 125 $500+ when I was 14 hustling cold drinks in the Cotton Bowl when the Cowboys and SMU played football there. I went through a dirt bike stage in my 20’s. I have owned several name brand road bikes totaling out to 8 motorcycles in my life. It is unbelievable how much name brand motorcycles cost now. At 67 I want a Grom, but don’t want to part with that much coin. |

Here's one writeup on Grom clones: https://www.simplymotorcycle.com/honda-grom-clone/
Also consider the Lifan, with 150cc: https://www.americanlifan.com/191.html Lifan is a well-respected brand in the Chinabike world. Do a Youtube search on "honda grom clone 125cc" and you will find a lot. Here's a good one:

The Vader lineup (there are a few models) are popular bikes here on Chinariders, and have proven to be relatively reliable clones. Contact Pete at Kronik Racing. He has a brick and mortar store in the Los Angeles area (the Vaders are California street legal--not a lot of Chinese bikes are legal there) and mail-orders the bikes nationwide. He generally has the lowest prices on them, and is very mechanically knowledgeable. He also sells the Lifan KP Mini (as was suggested as well--great bike for the money, but a lot more $. Worth it if you have the extra cash--probably more worth it than the Grom, itself) Call him up. https://www.kronikracing.com/scooters.html

Given your experience and budget, I'd suggest looking into Grom clones like the SSR Razkull 125 or the TaoTao Hellcat 125. They offer similar experiences at a lower cost. Always remember to check reviews and ensure the bike fits your needs before purchasing.

IMO this is your competition. $2300 at Venom delivered. Curious to see what you come up with.

Missing in this conversation is the RPS Condor. Probably the benchmark to aim for today.

I got a PM asking me not post about the bike, as I'm not a paying vendor, which I'll respect @JerryHawk250....

It's impressive to see your passion for motorcycles! Given your experience, a Grom clone might indeed be a good fit for you, especially considering the cost of name brand bikes nowadays. Have you considered looking into brands like TaoTao or Boom? They offer some reliable models at a fraction of the cost of a Honda Grom. Best of luck finding the perfect ride!
