Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) has unveiled its latest range of Touring and Roadster big bike models: the CB650R, CB1000R, and Goldwing.

HPI first introduced its line-up of Big Bikes in the country last year as response to the growing economy and improving lifestyle of Filipinos that created a demand for higher engine capacities. The launch received an overwhelming response from the riding community and marked the company’s completion of its product line-up in the Philippines.

“We are overjoyed with the riding communities’ acceptance of the Honda Big Bikes when we first launched them in 2017. In fact, some models were completely sold out and many riders are asking for more,” said Mr. Jomel Jerezo, General Manager of Motorcycle Sales Office, Sales and Marketing Division of HPI. “We want to continuously expand and improve our line-up to suit the improving lifestyle of our riders. With this, we are happy to introduce the newest big bikes which will once again excite Filipino riders.”

With the growing acceptance of the Philippine market for Big Bikes, HPI released its newest models from their Touring and Roadster categories for Filipino riders to experience the joy of riding Honda’s motorcycles on Philippine highways.
