If straight-line speed is your priority, the Z125 takes the lead. With 5 HP more than the Grom, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Grom has a clear advantage. Weighing in 45kg less than the Z125, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Grom. Its seat height is 54mm lower than the Z125, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the grom if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the z125 if you want the alternative brand character.
