The MSX125, sold as the Grom in North America, launched in 2013 as a Thai-built fun bike with 12-inch wheels. Its fuel-injected 125 cc air-cooled engine came from the Wave 125i, driving through a four-speed box, and it was the first Honda 125 with an upside-down fork. Front and rear discs, LED tail light and an LCD dash made it feel more grown-up than its size.
