It gets an all-new Euro 5-compliant powertrain. The 125cc air-cooled and fuel-injected long-stroke motor delivers 9.78PS at 7250rpm and 10.5Nm at 5500rpm. It now gets a 5-speed gearbox which should allow the motor to run a bit relaxed at higher speeds. Top speed stands at 94kmph now while claimed fuel efficiency is 65.7kmpl. 

Underpinnings include a single steel backbone frame with 31mm upside-down forks and monoshock. The mini bike gets 12-inch alloy wheels and brakes via a 220mm front disc and a 190mm rear disc. It is easy to ride courtesy its 103kg weight and low 761mm seat height. 

Will the Grom come to India? Given its comparatively high pricing and nicheness, it will be a tough job for Honda to find enough customers to justify getting the mini bike here.
