If you really think about it, the Honda Grom has not been on the market for all that long. Born exactly a decade ago as the Japanese bike maker's newest take on what it now calls the miniMOTO segment, it quickly became so popular that it kind of seems it will be around forever.
But for that to happen, constant updates need to be made, and that's exactly what Honda did last week when it announced the 2025 model year incarnation of the two-wheeler, or, if you want to split hairs, the bike's fourth generation.

Honda focused this time on giving the Grom a refreshed look, with the goal of making the ride more aggressive-looking. To that end, it tampered with the bike's bodywork, giving it an aggressive new look. The changes can mostly be seen in the new shape of the fuel tank shroud and the side covers, while the headlight fairing and the front fender seem to have remained the same as before.

For the 2025 model year the Grom will be offered in three versions, namely the standard one, SP, and ABS. The standard comes with three color choices (Candy Blue, Pearl White, and Cherry Red), the SP is exclusive in its matte black paintjob, while the ABS is available in Pearl White.

Somehow, Honda managed to keep the price of the new Grom as low as possible, and it will be selling it on the American market for sums that start at $3,599 for the standard version. Expect that to end up being a lot higher, given the many customization options the company has on the table for the model. The ride should be on dealers' lots as soon as this month.

When announcing the new version of the Grom Honda also spilled the beams of four other models it has on the table in this segment but also in the scooter one, all of which will return for the new model year slightly refreshed: the Navi, City Adventure ADV160, Ruckus, and Metropolitan.

The Navi, with a selling price of just $1,999 for the next year (in its unpainted form) remains one of the most affordable road motorcycles on the market today. The bike has been on American roads for just three years, and is already at the top of the sales charts across the nation. The biggest change the range suffered was the inclusion of three new body colors: Arctic Silver metallic, Pearl Red, and Blue metallic. Each of them adds $100 to the MSRP. You can have your new Navi starting this month.

The Honda scooter offering continues to be spearheaded by the three models I already mentioned. Honda did not change all that much when it comes to the three, and that's why pricing for the new model year remains pretty much the same as before: $4,499 for the  ADV160, $2,899 for theRuckus, and $2,649 for the Metropolitan.
