Last weekend, Yamaha took their Mio Gear Playground campaign to SM City Cebu, and I was privileged to witness the action-packed mall event in person. This activity aims to highlight the robustness and versatility of the Yamaha Mio Gear. Indeed, it is one tough scooter, despite its relatively modest 125cc displacement. In fact, I’ve already had the pleasure of riding it through lahar to go moto camping. It would seem that the Mio Gear could do anything and go anywhere except maybe traverse the to

There’s usually a motorcycle model at bike shows which could be seen as the crowd favorite, kind of like the prom queen, in a manner of speaking. In the recent Makina Moto Show, there were a slew of product launches and exhibits that generated impressive foot traffic. I have noticed, however, that guests tended to linger around two models that were launched at the event – the Peugeot XP400 and the KYMCO Xciting VS 400. In fact, I had a hard time getting clean photos of the two because potential

The current local motorcycle market trend seems to be leaning towards adventure bikes and this is quite apparent during the recently concluded Makina Moto Show. Apart from roadsters and retros on exhibit, there was an abundance of big, off-road-capable bike models on display from different brands. In fact, a few adventure bike models even made their local debuts at the event. Suzuki V-STROM 1050DE The V-STROM 1050DE is powered by a 1,037cc liquid-cooled, V-twin engine that rides on a chassis wit

Barely a month after its back-to-back launch of the AK 550 Premium and KRV Moto 180, KYMCO Philippines has unveiled yet another much-awaited maxi scooter model, the Xciting VS 400. Previously making its global debut at EICMA in Milan late last year, the Xciting VS 400 was launched locally during the 2023 Makina Moto Show at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. The KYMCO Xciting VS 400 is the latest tollway-legal maxi scooter offering from the global manufacturing giant. It takes styling cues

During this long weekend, I am sure that most of us went on a trip somewhere to escape the city's chaotic vibe. Predictably, the tollways were packed with vehicles due to the exodus of travelers around the same period (Wednesday evening to Thursday morning). Expect the same today, Easter Sunday, and tomorrow, April 10th, when everyone returns from their weekend out-of-towner. Woe to those driving a car with crappy air-conditioning as they look on while high-displacement motorcycles filter throug

Several days before the 15th Inside Racing Bikefest, KYMCO Philippines posted a teaser on their social media page about the three new models that they were scheduled to launch at the said event. Two unveiled, one to go Yet, at their official launch event, KYMCO only unveiled two: the AK 550 Premium and the KRV Moto 180. So I asked our good friend Tito Cadugo, General Manager for Sales and Marketing of KYMCO Philippines, what happened to the third model that was supposed to be launched. He shared

KYMCO launches the KRV Moto 180 for ₱199,900 at the 15th Inside Racing Bikefest ongoing this weekend at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. The KRV Moto 180 breaks the traditional scooter manufacturing mold and integrates sports bike elements into the overall design. The chain-drive is made possible on a scooter through KYMCO’s Power Transmission Matrix (PTM), which maximizes power output to the rear wheel by reducing transmission loss. Not your garden-variety scoot The KRV Moto 180 has a flat

KYMCO Philippines finally launched the much-anticipated AK 550 Premium on the first day of the 15th Inside Racing Bikefest, which is currently being held at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. Priced at ₱649,000, the new AK 550 Premium takes the “Thrills of Touring” concept to the next level with its unique suspension structure, the innovative multi-layered floating panel design, the upgraded Daytime Running Light, and the latest electronic control technology. It offers class-leading performan

The week-long jeepney strike was expected to cripple public transportation in key areas of the country. Yet, strike or no strike, taking the jeepney to work is already brutal as it is, especially during rush hour. Now, you either wait in line at jeepney terminals or try to elbow your way into a passing jeepney along its route. But what if you want to take charge of your commuting destiny? It would be best if you considered these budget-friendly motorcycle options, then. Investing in these bikes

KYMCO Philippines recently posted a teaser on its FB page about unveiling three new models on March 24, 2023. While it has yet to reveal which models to expect officially, these will likely be the updated versions of current models in the market. KRV Moto 180 The KYMCO KRV 180 has been making waves since its launch in 2021. Unlike most performance scooters, the KRV 180 has a flat floorboard, making it more versatile and practical. It also features an exposed drive belt to add to its sporty chara

So, why are we so excited about the soon-to-be-launched KYMCO KRV Moto 180? Well, because, unlike most scooters, this one is fitted with a chain drive. Not only is this uncommon, but it is also indicative of the KRV’s sporty character. What’s up with that, anyway? How come scooters run on belts while most sport bikes are chain-driven? Also, what’s the deal with shaft drives? Well, the primary function of a final drive system is to transfer power from the engine to the rear wheel to propel the mo

The Philippine motorcycle industry is a late-bloomer of sorts compared to neighboring markets in the Southeast Asian region. Yet Filipino riders, it seems, are making up for lost time and have been making waves to get recognition on the world stage. I suppose one of the best ways to get noticed is to set a Guinness World Record and we have made quite a few, even breaking a couple of previous records in recent years. Largest parade of Yamaha motorcycles On June 7, 2014, Yamaha Motor Philippines,

We recently received confirmation from a reliable source that KYMCO Philippines will be bringing in the KRV Moto 180, an updated version of their groundbreaking KRV 180i TCS sporty scooter. What makes the KRV stand out from other sporty scooters in the market is its Power Transmission Matrix system. Here, the pulley system of the CVT is placed towards the center of the frame, hiding it under the panels. This enables the KRV to have an exposed belt drive transferring power to the rear wheel. Whil

We heard through the grapevine that KYMCO Philippines is finally bringing in the AK 550 Premium. Well, our friends from KYMCO indeed confirmed this, but as to the launch date, it is anyone’s guess. If I have to make a fearless prediction, I’d say it will probably make its local debut during one of those big motorcycle exhibits that will be happening on March and April 2023. What’s new? The new AK 550 Premium features an innovative multi-positional electric windshield, an upgraded daytime running

After more than two years of hiatus (of sorts), the Philippine motorcycle industry ended the past year with a resounding bang. Manufacturers held product launches and staged events like there’s no tomorrow to compensate for lost time, especially in the latter half of 2022. Having witnessed all these activities, we were able to have a glimpse of what’s to come in 2023. Here are some of what we can expect this year in the local motorcycle scene. More touring activities Motorcycle manufacturers wil
