Bonifacio Global City, TAGUIG – The long wait is over. After teasing the public with a series of
videos on social media, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) officially unveils today its biggest and
most-exciting motorcycle brands at the Shangri-La at The Fort, Manila. Arriving in the
Philippines for the first time, Honda BigBike is finally here to excite your world.

One of the top motorcycle manufacturers in the country is going full throttle with the
introduction of Honda’s speed machines, which displacements range from 500 to 1000cc.
HPI President Daiki Mihara champions this historic moment as he commits to expanding
Honda’s brand experience, making it engaging and compelling for all of its stakeholders.

Honda BigBike is poised to elevate the energy and intensity of thrill-seeking riders who are
hungry for speed, performance, and trailblazing adventures on the road. “Honda BigBike have
seen action in many different countries. Now is the time for the Philippines to enjoy the power
and innovation of these motorcycles,” Mihara said.

HPI brings in a total of eight Honda BigBike models: The CB500X, CRF1000L Africa Twin, X-ADV,
CBR500R, Rebel 500, and CB650F, which are already available at its newest flagship store; while
the CB1100EX and CBR1000RR Fireblade SP will be available next year.

The Honda BigBike is categorized into three: Adventure, Sport, and Street.

For adventure-seekers, the CB500X, CRF1000L Africa Twin, and X-ADV complete the lineup.

CB500X

Conquer terrains with ease, thanks to an all-around performer - the CB500X. Take it to the
highway during a commute or to the unpaved, open roads when the weekend calls for a trip
out of the city. This is easy work for its liquid-cooled, 471cc, parallel-twin engine to power you
through short and long-distance rides. Whatever path you choose, this bike won’t lose. Its
excellent fuel economy and winning design can take you farther into the unknown.

CRF1000L AFRICA TWIN

Seek the unchartered paths, wander into no man’s land and let this legend take your spirit into
the wild. This is what the CRF1000L has been designed to withstand. With its 998cc liquid-
cooled, four-stroke, parallel-twin engine, Dual Clutch Transmission, and Honda Selective Torque
Control for effective power delivery in a wide range of conditions, this masterpiece is ready for
anything. Fully-adjustable front and rear suspension and an adjustable seat to fine-tune your
riding position give you the riding comfort for long-distances.

This is true adventure on two-wheels.

X-ADV

Make every road your road, and every ride an adventure. With the balance and stability of a
scooter and the power and toughness of an off-road motorcycle, the X-ADV’s unique platform
makes it a crossover performer that captures the essence of modern adventure. Its 745cc twin-
cylinder engine and Dual Clutch Transmission ( DCT ) work seamlessly to power you through any
terrain. Now, you can extend the fun all the way to where the roads end. By harmonizing
technology and design, it can defy dirt and rocks to take you on a steady and uninterrupted
adventure.

For the hardcore speed masters, the sport category features the CBR500R and the CBR1000RR
Fireblade.

CBR500R

There are no limits to any ride. The CBR500R is infused with a next-level, inline-twin 471cc
engine that will give you a burst of racing power. This latest model features all of the sport
enhancements and a refreshed aggressive design.

It’s a middleweight Sports bike style motorcycle that packs all the necessary goods, from the
aerodynamic fairing and specially designed air ducts all the way to the two-channel ABS and
41mm SDBV telescopic fork. Just by hearing its engine roar, you’ll get a good sense of how its
technology complements every bit of energy that goes through all of its sophisticated form.

CBR1000RR Fireblade

Light and all-powerful, the CBR1000RR Fireblade is Honda’s fiercest creation that carries the
true spirit of its racing DNA. Powered by a 998cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder, it’s a force to
be reckoned with on the track.

It has been engineered with utmost sophistication as evidenced by its Selectable Torque
Control, Selectable Engine Break, New ABS Brakes, Quickshifter, Riding Mode Select System,
Power Selector, and fully adjustable Showa Suspension.

Packed with all the trailblazing features, this super bike rewards you with precision,
unbreakable confidence, and total control.

Riders who desire ultimate freedom can choose among the Rebel 500, CB650F, and CB1100EX.

REBEL 500

The fusion of tradition and modern technology lives on in the Rebel 500. Ride with real freedom
with its strong, 471cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder, four-stroke engine that is neatly
tucked in low chassis. It has got the looks, style, and attitude that express authenticity and
individuality. So here’s a motorcycle that tells you to just be yourself.

CB650F

Power, beauty, and control go full circle in this tough middleweight naked street style
motorcycle.

The CB650F pulls ahead with so much power, handling, and acceleration, leaving those who
catch a glimpse of it in awe of its beauty and performance. At first glance, its imposing exhaust
pipes that wrap around its four-cylinder engine make a strong impression. This beast is
powered by a 649cc, DOHC inline engine, with new six-speed ratio gearbox, LED lights, two-
channel ABS and 41mm SDBV telescopic fork. With a fully adjustable Showa suspension, this
street fighter will take you on a smooth and unforgettable ride.

CB1110EX

It’s a classic with a modern touch. The CB1100EX redefines the elegance of timeless style with
its distinct seamless fuel tank, exquisitely designed deep chrome exhausts, 17-inch cast
aluminum wheels, and ultimately, its super clean, hand-built look. Its performance warps you
into a smooth and stellar ride, efficiently harnessing the power of its 1140cc air-cooled inline
four-cylinder engine, six-speed transmission, two-piece front fork, remote reservoir rear shocks,
four piston caliper brakes, and floating discs, and a sharper chassis.

The road welcomes an icon.
