Vespa Motorcycle Installment Price

There’s nothing more exhilarating to a rider than the experience of buying and riding home a brand-new motorcycle. But wait, are we allowed to ride home on a newly purchased, unregistered motorcycle? Nope, but most buyers do so anyway. Grab a seat; this is going to get messy. You see, driving any motor vehicle not registered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) is a major offense. It has a penalty of ₱ 10,000, and the vehicle will be impounded. After you’ve secured the registration and paid

Vinfast Philippines established a social media presence several months back, and it has been posting regular teasers ever since. Some of these have led us to believe that the electric vehicle manufacturer from Vietnam will soon be introducing the Evo 200 e-scooter, which should fetch a price of around ₱46,000. However, in our recent correspondence with a Vinfast Philippines’ marketing department representative, we received confirmation that Vinfast will finally introduce its line-up in the local

In an exclusive summer-themed gathering at the City of Dreams last April 11, 2023, Vespa Philippines held the official launch of its latest offering in the Primavera line, the Color Vibe. Vespa Primavera Color Vibe is characterized by a special two-tone livery, a body shade matched with side graphics and footboard to create a bold and playful vibe.

After the successful launch of its first Moto ACCS branch at the roof deck of the MINI Building located at 38th St. BGC, Taguig City, last December, the Autohub Group opened the Moto ACCS flagship store in Greenhills, San Juan City.

With their One Honda Road Safety campaign, the Honda Safety Driving Center (HSDC) aims to help reduce traffic accidents in the country. As a driver training facility, HSDC believes that road safety training is for everyone and it goes beyond any affiliation or brand, despite what the campaign/institution name might suggest. HSDC welcomes participants from all institutions and corporations to train and join their advocacy on road safety. One such company recently accepted HSDC’s invitation. The A

A collaboration project between Shuichi Shigeno/Kodansha Ltd. and Bilmola, there are three variants from MazTab Design. Imagine being Takumi Fujiwara, doing his famous early-morning tofu delivery runs on Mount Akina in his classic white Toyota AE86. You can also ride around as one of the RedSuns duo – Ryosuke Takahashi with

TVS Motor Company launched the newest flagship model in its iconic Apache line-up, the TVS Apache RTR 310. Built from the ground up, the motorcycle’s 312.2 cc engine has a unique reverse-inclined twin-cam engine that provides a compact engine layout resulting in mass centralization.

For 12 years, Hardcore Brothers Custom Motorcycles, Inc. slowly shattered the market domination in the local classic bikes segment by Japanese and American brands through the distribution of Royal Enfield. Hardcore Brothers will once again embark on a new challenge as it receives exclusive distributorship for BSA motorcycles in the Philippines. “We are excited with the prospect of creating a new movement and a solid riding community with BSA, together with our partners from Classic Legends Pvt.

The supermoto is a crazy-fun motorcycle as it offers the flickability of a road bike and the plush suspension of an off-roader. Also known as motard, this type of bike epitomizes the “do anything, go anywhere” mentality in motorcycling. The Kawasaki KLX300SM is the perfect specimen of what a supermoto should be. Its enduro-racer roots give this motorcycle a strong base for off-road riding potential. Its responsive engine in a lightweight, rider-friendly chassis with high-grade suspension, enable

Hatasu is an electric mobility manufacturer registered in six countries – China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines – and you’ve probably seen its vehicles zipping around town without realizing it. Making its debut at the Electric Vehicle Summit last year, Hatasu is relatively new but is growing rapidly and it has big plans for the near future. While Hatasu is an international brand, it has established its headquarters in the Philippines with over a thousand personnel dep

Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) just posted a teaser on its Facebook page, which offers a glimpse of the rear wheel of the model that is to be launched on September 23 at the upcoming Honda Moto Fair to be held at Market! Market! In Taguig City. Based on that and on the caption, “Get ready for a new look,” we could probably say with a fair amount of certainty that there will be no Vision or Lead that is going to be unveiled on that day. What we’ll likely have is version 3 of the popular BeAT scoote

Ever since it launched, the Honda Rebel 500 has dominated the entry-level cruiser segment, partially because it was just that good of a bike and because there aren’t many cruisers that can come close. But in 1985, Kawasaki had a winning formula for a great cruiser with the Eliminator 400. It was powered by the GPZ400 Ninja’s inline-four engine and transmission, and it drove the rear wheel via a smooth-as-silk shaft drive. Thankfully, Kawasaki launched the all-new Eliminator 400 in Japan earlier

MOVE IT recently launched a comprehensive rider-partner welfare and engagement program at the MOVE IT Tropang Malupet event held at the PICC Forum. Dedicated to enhancing the economic well-being of local motorcycle taxi service providers, the newly expanded Tropang Malupet welfare program encompasses optimized earning opportunities, economic assistance, aid and relief initiatives and community engagement.

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

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) recently received a donation of 10 motorcycle units from Senator Juan Edgardo "Sonny" Angara. This donation is in support of the MMDA's Motorcycle Riding Academy, which is set to open on Sept. 27, 2023. MMDA acting chair Romando Artes and Sen. Angara signed a deed of donation and acceptance at a ceremony at the MMDA Head Office in Pasig City. It was witnessed by MMDA deputy chair Frisco San Juan Jr. and general manager Procopio Lipana.

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

FJ Moto Enduro, a leading supporter and organizer of adventure and endurance rides, spontaneously organized a welcome reception for the brave Filipino riders who participated in the GIVI Rimba Raid Taman Negara 2023. They took on the challenging terrain in Taman Negara, Malaysia from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3, 2023. They included: Arvin Bacas (6th Place - Rimba Raid Malaysia) Ian Ordonez (Champion - Rimba Raid Philippines Qualifiers and Finisher - Rimba Raid Malaysia) Des Buncio (Top 5 Rimba Raid Phili

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

Vintage Rider Manila (VRM) is widely known as a classic motorcycle helmet brand. Well, VRM has just expanded its product line with VRUM Helmets, which is a line of modern helmets from a Filipino brand. The company said its offerings take into account the country's climate, along with the fit, weight and utility sought by Filipino riders.
