Honda has simply up to date the beloved Grom, and the large information is that it hasn’t actually modified a lot. The 2025 Honda Grom has shed the outsized ‘washers’ that adorned its bodywork, and adopted slick new plastics for a sportier look. Nevertheless it’s the identical lovable mini-moto beneath the hood—as a result of why mess with a great factor?
The nice people at California’s Regular Storage aren’t recognized for leaving nicely sufficient alone although. Run by Kevin Dunn, Jimmy Chen, Bahwee Suh and Duy Nguyen, Regular Storage’s specialty is mini-motos—or, extra particularly, wild customized mini-motos. They’re gaga for the Grom, and so they know precisely find out how to make it even radder than it already is.
Though we wouldn’t name the diminutive 124 cc, 12-inch-wheeled Grom a sportbike, that’s what Regular noticed when it rolled into their workshop. Drawing parallels between its streamlined new design and the look of Honda’s precise sportbikes, they determined to rework it right into a belligerent little streetfighter, whereas preserving its most distinguishing options.
Regular’s standing within the mini-moto group (and their spectacular elements retailer) has garnered them a wealth of contacts. So that they flipped by their Rolodex and tapped one of the best within the biz to package their Grom out with an eye-watering checklist of hop-up bits.
Gears Racing got here to the get together with a smorgasbord of suspension upgrades. First, they overhauled the entrance forks with aluminum tubes, black chrome stanchions, and what Kevin tells us is the primary correct cartridge package for the Grom. Then they despatched over a completely adjustable piggyback shock for the again, which connects to a beautiful aluminum swingarm from G-Craft.
The burly CNC-machined yokes and steering stem are a full set from Thailand’s Intercourse Machine Racing, and the stanchion brackets are Nemoto elements.
Regular’s buddies over at Chimera Engineering equipped an entire lot of goodies too, beginning with the Grom’s shiny new three-piece modular rims. Measuring 12×4.00” on the entrance and 12×5.00” on the again, they’re wrapped in Kenda tires. The hubs, wheel spacers, wheel axles, and swingarm pivot axle are additionally from Chimera, as is the rear sprocket service.
The brakes use new Anchor calipers, bolted to Chimera caliper mounts. Braking wave rotors and braided chrome steel traces from EBC add additional stopping energy.
The Grom’s powertrain will get a bit of assist from a DHM camshaft and a high-performance ignition coil and wire set from Nology. Regular upgraded the clutch with a six-disc conversion and new springs from SMR, and put in an SMR billet aluminum stator cowl. The ram air consumption and cone air filter are from Chimera, as are the myriad covers and guards scattered all around the bike.
For the bodywork, Regular Storage collaborated with Detailed by Panem—a carbon fiber auto elements specialist in Las Vegas. The requisite elements have been designed and fine-tuned utilizing 3D-modeling software program, earlier than Detailed by Panem created the molds and produced the ultimate elements.
The collaboration yielded a pair of sporty fenders, facet trim items for the headlight nacelle, facet physique panels, and a gasoline tank cowl strip. Regular modified the bodywork additional by including vents to the principle gasoline tank facet covers.
As for the tail finish of the bike—that required a heavier hand. “Happily, Honda’s redesign of the Grom body in 2022 into two separate sections—a major body and a rear tail subframe—opened up extra alternatives for personalization and aftermarket elements,” Kevin tells us.
Regular unbolted the outdated subframe, changing it with a machined aluminum help that was produced in collaboration with Chimera. Rogelio’s Auto Upholstery dealt with the rear bodywork, together with the seat foam and the luxe walnut leather-based upholstery. The redesigned rear finish additionally referred to as for a brand new battery tray and a few fettling of the OEM wiring.
“Making a design that exposes extra inside areas of the bike concerned appreciable effort,” Kevin tells us, “together with relocating elements and mixing current panels with the brand new structure. We additionally stored in thoughts the potential for making extra kits for fanatics who may wish to replicate our design.”
Lighting is by means of a Baja Designs headlight in a Chimera housing, with a Motodynamic taillight built-in into the tail. Woodcraft clip-ons with ASV levers flank the OEM dashboard, mounted to a Chimera clip-on conversion plate that attaches on to the common bar mounts.
Vance and Hines pushed Regular’s 2025 Honda Grom challenge over the end line with a bespoke exhaust system. “They introduced our exhaust design to life,” says Kevin, “with customized muffler shields that mix with the physique’s facet panels.”
Completed in teal blue paint, with crisp yellow graphics and simply the correct quantity of carbon fiber displaying, there isn’t an inch of this Grom that has gone untouched. With outfits like Regular Storage and their co-conspirators on the job, it’s no surprise that the mini-moto customized scene is prospering.
