Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) kicked off the first leg of is series of riders’ conventions in Cebu. Held annually, the Honda Riders’ Convention is a grand gathering of Honda motorcycle owners, clubs, and enthusiasts from across the region. It serves as a platform to gather riders, introduce the latest Honda innovations, and celebrate the Honda community. Thousands of Honda riders came together for a weekend filled all things Honda.

Honda brought its latest models to the event. Headlining the lineup was the all-new NAVi, an easy-to-use scooter with bold styling, lightweight build, and mini-bike-inspired design. Built for customization, this newly launched scooter gives riders the freedom to express their style while enjoying everyday convenience. It’s also ideal for weaving through tight streets and beating daily traffic. Its unique look and compact build instantly drew excited reactions from local riders, many calling it “sulit,” “astig,” and a “subok ang kalidad” that fits both their personality and practical needs.

Honda also set up a Technology Center where guests explored the brand’s latest innovations up close. Attendees got hands-on experience with the RoadSync feature on models like the ADV350 and PCX160, as well as the cutting-edge e-Clutch and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) technology on the powerful X-ADV750.

Besides displays, Honda also offered test rides of some of its most in-demand models. Honda offered visitors the chance to test ride Honda’s latest Electric Vehicles (EVs) and big bikes, while skilled riders took on the Gymkhana Challenge using the Winner X.

For those that already have Hondas, exclusive perks and rider-only discounts turned the trade area into a crowd favorite. Trade partners offered irresistible deals on gear, accessories, and more, available only to attendees. From helmets to riding boots to motorcycle accessories, the shopping zone was packed from the beginning until the end.

There was also a motorshow, showcasing custom and big bikes on full display. It was part competition, part celebration of how motorcycles have become an extension of one’s lifestyle.

The main stage kept the vibe alive all day with non-stop games and club recognitions. Lucky riders got the chance to win big with incredible prizes. Livening up the stage was the performance by Sponge Cola.

With highlights like these, it’s no surprise riders from different provinces rode long hours to be part of the convention. Their arrival was met with warm welcomes, including Club Recognition for the most active groups who continue to foster the Honda spirit in their communities. Plenty of activities were lined up, fostering a true sense of camaraderie.

“The Honda Riders’ Convention is more than just an annual event; it’s a meaningful celebration of our growing community of passionate riders, especially here in the Visayas, who continue to choose Honda as their trusted riding partner,” said Takeshi Kobayashi, President of Honda Philippines, Inc.

With more legs of the Honda Riders’ Convention happening soon in Mindanao and Luzon, one thing’s clear: the Joy of Having a Honda is stronger than ever. It’s not just about the bike—it’s about the bond, the lifestyle, and the freedom that comes with every ride. It is Honda’s way to Ride, Unite, and Celebrate.
