We received confirmation from Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) that there will be a new product launching at the Honda Moto Fair on Sept. 23, 2023 at Market! Market! in Taguig City. As expected, Honda was still tight-lipped as to what model it would be. Our initial guess had been the Giorno+, which was recently launched in Thailand. The Giorno+ is a retro-styled scooter fitted with a 125cc eSP+ engine, meaning it has four valves to give better performance. The Giorno+ could be Honda’s answer to the

Two of the most popular moto vloggers in the country announced that they will embark on an epic ride around the entire Philippine archipelago on Suzuki Burgman Street scooters. Juan Cadiz III of "Motor ni Juan" will be riding a Burgman Street 125, while Mcleen Amoguis, also known as "Boy Perstaym (Boy P.)," will take the saddle of a Burgman Street 125 EX. It all started as a joke, but the social media stars are now bent on taking their combined audience of around 2 million followers and subscrib

Just in case you didn’t know, the Suzuki Smash is the best-selling underbone motorcycle in the Philippines. While one cannot argue that the reason for this is its ₱61,400 pricetag – being the most affordable underbone from the “big four” brands – the Smash also has the edge when it comes to styling, in my opinion. Recently, the Smash F.I. (fuel injection) was introduced in Vietnam and what comes out there (or in Indonesia) usually comes out here as well. Our friends from Suzuki Philippines also

The Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association (MDPPA), achieved a collective sales milestone with a remarkable 932,220 units sold from January to July 2023. The MDPPA is comprised of the country's four largest motorcycle brands – Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha. It reflects a 4.6-percent increase compared to the same period last year, which saw sales totaling 890,720 units. With this development, MDPPA conducted a comprehensive review of its sales targets for the latter part of

Continuing on its commitment to professionalize habal-habal riders, MOVE IT – a homegrown Filipino Motorcycle Taxi company, officially kickstarts its Habal-Habal to Legal program, which seeks to assist and guide habal-habal riders as they try to obtain a professional license. The motorcycle (MC) taxi company held its first sign-up event last August 12, 2023, drawing countless habal-habal riders who aspire to secure a pro license and ultimately become rider-partners on the platform. The program i

With the rising number of motorcycle-based taxis and delivery services, there’s a corresponding increase in the population of two-wheeled vehicles on the road. Unfortunately, this upward trend has also resulted in a higher incidence of motorcycle road crashes in the first four months of 2023. The Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group has reported approximately 4,000 incidents from January to April this year, which already account for nearly half of the 8,342 incidents recorded in the w

Japanese motorcycle riding gear maker Komine is one of the most popular riding gear brands in the Philippines and globally. Unfortunately, some manufacturers are capitalizing on Komine’s popularity by making ang selling counterfeit Komine products. This is a significant cause of concern not only to Komine but also to us consumers because we could be buying something that does not give the expected protection that could save us from serious injury in case of a spill. Here are some ways how to avo

After a five-year hiatus because of the restrictions brought on by the pandemic, Suzuki finally brings back the Raider R150 Summit. With the theme “Two Decades Unrivaled”, this year’s summit was held to commemorate the Suzuki Raider’s 20-year dominance in the sport underbone category. Amidst the monsoon rains, more than 8,000 motorcycle riders converged at the World Trade Center last July 16, 2023, to partake in the festivities specially prepared for all Suzuki fanatics in attendance. Guests fro

One of the most annoying “kamote moves” of some motorcycle riders is sheltering under footbridges or flyovers, particularly during a downpour. Not only does this behavior cause traffic obstruction, but it is also hazardous to the riders themselves and other motorists given that visibility is reduced during heavy rain. To address this issue, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced that beginning August 1, 2023, motorcyclists who will be caught temporarily sheltering under t

The underbone motorcycle has been the undisputed motorcycle of choice for the masses. Usually equipped with an auto-clutch transmission, it offers the convenience of clutch-free operation coupled with the versatility and robustness of a manual transmission bike. The underbone’s basic features also enabled manufacturers to sell such bikes at a lower price point. Reliable, affordable and easy to use, it was the underbone that drove the Philippine motorcycle industry boom in the mid-2000. In recent

Both the Suzuki Avenis and the TVS NTORQ have been in the local market for a while now, but it seems somebody has yet to point out the “elephant in the room” regarding these two sporty scooters. Has anyone noticed that the Suzuki Avenis and the TVS NTORQ are almost identical? Save for the decals and rear wheel size, they are practically the same in dimensions and styling lines, from the headlight to the external fuel filler at the rear. They even have similar triangular details on the tail end.

After a few years of hiatus brought on by the pandemic, Suzuki is again hosting the biggest gathering of Suzuki loyalists. Dubbed the “Raider R150 Summit 2023: Two Decades Unrivaled”, it will be held at the World Trade Center on July 16, 2023. This event will be a big celebration for Suzuki as 2023 marks the Raider’s 20th year in the Philippines. Since Raider’s introduction in 2002, it has consistently dominated the sport underbone category in the local market, recording a total sales of more th

“If you don’t ride in the rain, you don’t ride,” says an old biker adage. Yet, riding in wet conditions could be daunting for some because you have limited traction and reduced visibility. To remedy this, the Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association, Inc. (MDPPA) shares some essential tips for safer rides during the monsoons. Invest in proper riding gear. Aside from the required motorcycle helmet, it pays to invest in a high-quality riding jacket, pants, shoes, and gloves. Riders

Developed by Suzuki to cater to a wider range of riders, the GSX-8S offers functional beauty and user-friendly performance. The tight, clean lines of its face and tail sections are contrasted by the muscular mass in its center. Every detail, right down to the distinctive short new muffler design, presents the futuristic appeal of slim, compact styling that instantly conveys performance potential in its mass-forward aggressive stance. This is highlighted by fully exposing and proudly flaunting th

Suzuki Philippines (SPH) recently held the Raider R150 Fi Econo Run Mindanao, where 67 Raider R150 Fi owners in the region took on the challenge of achieving the best fuel economy on a 94.4-kilometer route in Davao del Norte. Participants converged on the early morning of June 25, 2023 (Sunday) at the Gas Island Tagum Station for motorcycle unit inspection and fueling. Riders were greeted with fair weather despite the heavy rains of the previous day. The route consisted mostly of flat, straight

Suzuki Philippines Motorcycle Division took dealer partners, vloggers, and select club members on a day of adventure riding in San Mateo, Rizal to experience the V-STROM 250 SX. The route, which included various road conditions and off-road trails, was a 13-kilometer journey from Timberland Highlands Resort to Camp Sandugo and back. The V-STROM 250 SX is powered by a Suzuki Eco Performance, Fuel Injected (SEP FI) 250cc, 4-stroke, single cylinder, 4-valve, Single Overhead Cam engine that offers b

Suzuki Philippines (SPH) threw a one-two knockout combo against its competitors with the Power of 800 product launch at the Grand Ballroom of Timberland Highlands Resort last June 22, 2023. The event saw the unveiling of two all-new Suzuki models in the mid-weight segment: the V-STROM 800 DE adventure bike and the street sport bike, GSX-8S. Present during at this 2-day occasion were Suzuki Philippines’ Managing Director Norminio Mojica, Motorcycles Sales and Marketing Manager Jun Bulot, Assistan

Father’s Day is coming up, and if you still have no idea how to “cash in” on the hype, then we might have a suggestion or two. We just received confirmation that Suzuki will unveil two new big bikes before the end of next week. V-STROM 800DE If you may recall, Suzuki just launched its dirt-oriented adventure bike, the V-STROM 1050DE, at the Makina Moto Show last April. Yet, if you are not ready to commit to a liter bike, how about its mid-sized sibling? The soon-to-be-launched V-STROM 800DE is a

In a recent scooter group ride to Tagaytay organized by Suzuki Philippines, I was able to commandeer (with kind permission, of course) a unit of the newly-launched Burgman Street 125 EX. It was nice of Suzuki to let me have first dibs on the Burgman EX a month before its scheduled media test. There’s nothing like the exhilarating feeling of being the first to take a fresh unit on a long ride. Is it the same as the Burgman Street, fitted with a bigger rear wheel? Well, take a seat and read on bec
