Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), recently opened its Cebu Honda Big Bike Showroom to the public in its Flagship Shop at Lahug, Cebu City. The showroom is a must-see for motorcycle enthusiasts, as a new part of the Flagship Shop which has been constructed to be a premium hub for Honda’s growing community. This shop has a multi-rack display, riders’ lounge, and test ride facility which sets it apart from other 3S Shops. The Big Bike Showroom is open for Honda’s community of riders in Cebu to view the latest and much-awaited collection of big bikes every day from 8:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M.
The Big Bike showroom has a total land area of 2,344 square meters, and highlights Honda’s latest collection of big bikes. These big bikes are set for thrill seekers and adventurers, who require tough and heavy duty motorcycles with bigger engine displacements. They are also designed to deliver the speed and performance, suited for highway cruising and taking on rough terrains.
Honda Philippines Inc. President Mr. Daiki Mihara said the power and innovative features of Honda Big Bikes have been seen in action by motorcycle enthusiasts in many countries. Now, it’s time for Filipinos to experience all of these through our latest big bike offerings. "Last December 2017, we’ve already launched our latest collection in Manila, however, since we consider Cebu as one of the important markets, we also see the value of showcasing our latest Honda Big Bikes collection to the Cebuano public, here, in our Flagship Store.” he added.
8 new Honda Big Bike models will be housed in the showroom categorized as: Roadster, Sports/Racer, Traveler, and New Adventure. Have a preview below and decide what fits your ride:
ROADSTER
Honda introduced its roadster category, starting with the Rebel 500, which is designed for both laid-back cruising and a more active sports riding. It features a rider’s triangle, as well as its 471cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder, four-stroke engine that is tucked in a low chassis, and minimalist design.
Also available is the CB650F, a middleweight, naked street style motorcycle with stylish exhaust pipes that wrap around its four-cylinder, 649cc, DOHC inline engine. It also comes with a new six-speed ratio gearbox, a two-channel ABS, a 41mm SDBV telescopic fork and a fully adjustable Showa suspension for smoother riding.
The CB1100EX, on the other hand, has a classic design integrating modern features with its seamless fuel tank, deep chrome exhausts, 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, and a hand-built look. It also has an air-cooled, inline four-cylinder, 6-speed transmission, 1140cc engine, a two-piece front fork, remote reservoir rear shocks, four-piston caliper brakes, floating discs, and a sharper chassis. This model is set to arrive in the Philippine market this year.
SPORT/RACER
Meanwhile, for sports enthusiasts, Honda boasts of its CBR500R, a big bike infused with a next-level, inline-twin 471cc engine with power suited for racing. Designers of the bike fused aggressive styling with its comfortable framework for riding, as well as a traditional bike image and modern, sleek design.
This middleweight sports bike has an aerodynamic fairing and air ducts, specially designed all the way to the two-channel ABS and 41mm SDBV telescopic fork.
There is also the CBR1000RR FIREBLADE SP, which is designed with the MotoGP racing DNA in mind. It is engineered to have lightness, precision, and controllable handling as evidenced by its Selectable Torque Control and Engine Break Systems, New ABS Brakes, Quickshifter, Riding Mode Select System, Power Selector, and an Ó¦HLINS Smart EC Suspension. This model is set to be available in the Philippine market this 2018 along with the CB1100EX.
