As the first leg of Honda Philippines, Inc.’s (HPI) 2025 statewide celebration, the Honda Riders’ Convention got off to a lively start in the Visayas. As the top motorcycle manufacturer in the nation, HPI keeps bringing together motorcyclists from all over the area. Every year, Honda motorcycle owners, clubs, and enthusiasts from all around the region come together for the Honda Riders’ Convention. It provides an opportunity to celebrate the dynamic lifestyle that comes with being a part of the Honda community, promote the newest Honda technologies, and deepen the bonds between riders.
Thousands of Honda riders came together for a high-energy weekend filled with passion, innovation, and the joy of having a Honda. “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 Mr. Takeshi Kobayashi, President of Honda Philippines, Inc.
From thrilling rides to epic raffle, here are the 7 reasons why the Visayas leg was a major hit:
First thing that made participants feel the thrill of riding is 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. Whether beginner or veteran, everyone had the joy of owning a Honda.
Second was the Honda 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. More than just a tech showcase, it was a glimpse into the future of smarter, smoother, and more connected riding.
Third off, the riders themselves set the tone. 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.
Fourth, the Motorshow that took the center stage, with custom and big bikes on full display, makes it a standout, as each one reflects its owner’s personality and style. It was part competition, part celebration of how motorcycles have become an extension of one’s lifestyle.
Fifth, 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.
Sixth reason to love the event? The main stage kept the vibe alive all day with non-stop games, club recognitions, and plenty of reasons to stick around and have a blast. Adding to the thrill, lucky riders got the chance to win big with incredible prizes.
And finally, the seventh reason was the electrifying performance by Sponge Cola, one of the Philippines’ most iconic rock bands known for their sensational hits and high-energy shows. Turning the riders gathering into a full-blown concert party, the band had the crowd singing along to every lyric, sealing the day’s high with cheers, anthems, and true Honda spirit.
On top of all the back-to-back activities and exciting surprises, Honda also unveiled The All-New Honda NAVi, an easy-to-use scooter that instantly caught the attention of Cebuanos for its bold styling, lightweight build, and fun mini-bike-inspired design. Built for customization, this newly launched scooter gives riders the freedom to express their style while enjoying everyday convenience. Designed for city living, it’s ideal for weaving through tight streets, beating daily traffic, and making every ride more stylish and hassle-free. 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.
The joy of owning a Honda is stronger than ever, as evidenced by the upcoming Honda Riders’ Convention legs in Mindanao and Luzon. The relationship, the way of life, and the freedom that come with each ride are more important than the bike alone. It is Honda’s method of celebrating, riding, and coming together.
