Honda Philippines made a strong showing at this year’s Makina Moto Expo, held 4 to 6 April at SMX Convention Center, with the launch of four new models — three gas-powered, one fully electric.
Building on the momentum of their EM1 e: Honda introduced the CUV e: — a more powerful electric scooter aimed at everyday riders. It runs on a brushless E-Drive side motor with up to 6 kW output and 22 Nm of torque. Top speed is 83 km/h, and range is about 77 km per charge, extendable by 25 percent in ECON mode.
It uses removable Honda Mobile Power Pack e: batteries, which take around 6 hours to fully charge. The scooter also features LED lights, USB Type-C charging, a 5-inch TFT display, multiple riding modes, and a Honda Smart Key.
The new ADV350 is a scooter that’s just as comfortable tackling rough roads as it is weaving through traffic. It’s powered by a 330cc liquid-cooled engine making 21.5 kW and 31.8 Nm of torque.
This adventure-ready scooter is packed with useful features like Honda RoadSync for smartphone connectivity, LED lighting, Auto-Winker Cancellation, and a 5-inch color TFT display. There’s also a spacious 48L U-box, adjustable windscreen, and USB charging built into the console. With fuel consumption rated at 30 km/L and a rugged suspension setup, the ADV350 balances comfort, performance and practicality.
For riders who want power and precision, the CB1000 Hornet doesn’t disappoint. Its 1000cc inline-4 engine churns out 113 kW and 105 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a wet, multi-plate clutch.
Handling is sharp, thanks to a Showa USD front fork and Ohlins rear shock, while safety and convenience are covered by a 5-inch TFT display, Honda’s security system (HISS), and a diamond steel frame.
Honda’s legendary Goldwing got the spotlight treatment with a special 50th Anniversary Eternal Gold edition. This full-on touring bike is powered by a massive 1,833cc flat-six engine, delivering 93 kW of power and 170 Nm of torque.
It comes with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission (with reverse), a shaft final drive, double wishbone front suspension, and Pro-Link rear suspension. Comfort features include a 7-inch TFT screen, Smart Key, electronically controlled ABS, and a luxurious ride setup.
Alongside the new models, Honda also brought back fan favorites like the Rebel 1100, Africa Twin (DCT), and X-ADV — all of which still draw plenty of attention. They also showcased their lineup of Pro-Honda oils, accessories, and riding gear for those looking to upgrade their setup.
