Honda Philippines Inc. closed 2025 with more than a million motorcycles sold, reinforcing its lead in the local two-wheel market and posting the strongest retail performance in company history.

The company recorded 1,041,237 retail sales and 1,044,510 wholesale units for the full year. December capped the run with 114,772 motorcycles sold, the highest monthly retail total Honda Philippines has ever logged.

The result was driven by continued demand for Honda’s core models, which remain common sights on city streets and provincial roads. Click125 led both retail and wholesale sales, helped by its fuel efficiency and everyday usability. ADV160 followed as a popular choice for riders looking for more power and comfort for longer trips. BeAT stayed strong among first-time and younger riders, while XRM125 DS and TMX125 Alpha continued to serve riders who rely on motorcycles for work, deliveries, and rural travel.

Honda Philippines said the numbers reflect long-standing customer trust built around product reliability and nationwide support. The company maintained its focus on offering motorcycles that meet daily transport needs, from short commutes to livelihood use, while keeping ownership costs manageable.

Takeshi Kobayashi, president of Honda Philippines, said the 2025 performance showed continued confidence from Filipino riders and the strength of the brand’s current lineup. He said the company will keep developing motorcycles that support daily life, work, and personal mobility needs.

Moving into 2026, Honda Philippines said it will continue balancing performance, efficiency, comfort, and safety as rider expectations evolve, while keeping two-wheel mobility accessible across different segments of the market.

Harley-Davidson has pulled the cover off its 2026 motorcycle lineup, rolling out 12 new models that expand its touring, trike, and premium CVO offerings. The announcement was made via the brand’s official Model Year 2026 Reveal video released on January 14, with global availability set through authorized dealerships in the coming months.

At the center of the update are new additions to Harley-Davidson’s Grand American Touring range. The Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited arrive as the most comfort-focused touring models in the lineup, aimed squarely at riders who spend long hours on the road. Both models now run the Milwaukee-Eight 117 VVT engine and gain updated touring hardware, including a redesigned Tour-Pak luggage system, upgraded audio from Rockford Fosgate, and a touchscreen running Harley-Davidson’s Skyline OS with built-in navigation.

Three-wheel riders also get attention for 2026. The Street Glide 3 Limited and Road Glide 3 mark the second generation of Harley-Davidson trikes. These models introduce a new rear suspension layout to improve ride comfort while retaining the same 117 VVT engine. The goal, according to the brand, is to match the performance and tech experience of its two-wheel touring motorcycles.

The premium end of the lineup is led by five Custom Vehicle Operation models. These limited-production motorcycles sit at the top of Harley-Davidson’s range, combining exclusive paint finishes, higher-spec components, and performance upgrades. For 2026, the CVO lineup includes the new CVO Street Glide ST, along with updated versions of the CVO Street Glide, Road Glide ST, and trike variants.

Adding a patriotic touch to the lineup is the Enthusiast Collection Liberty Edition. Created to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, the Liberty Edition models are offered in very limited numbers worldwide. Three motorcycles are part of the collection: the Street Glide, Street Glide 3 Limited, and Heritage Classic. Each features Midnight Ember paint, special eagle graphics, and red, white, and blue stitching details. Mechanical specifications remain the same as their standard counterparts.

Harley-Davidson noted that availability and specifications will vary by market. Philippine buyers are advised to check with local dealerships for model allocations and arrival timelines

Honda Philippines, Inc. recently held the Honda Big Bike Circuit Experience at the Batangas Racing Circuit, giving riders and guests a full-day track test ride of its big bike lineup.

Honda said the event brought together riders, aspiring big bike owners, dealer customers, media, and moto vloggers. A total of 128 participants joined the track sessions.

Guests rode Honda Big Bikes from 500cc models up to the Honda Goldwing. Honda positioned the activity as a chance to feel how these motorcycles behave in a controlled racetrack setting where riders can focus on speed, lines, and braking.

Riders shared feedback on stability and control once they entered the circuit. Some noted confident handling at higher speeds, steady cornering, and smooth power delivery that helped them stay composed across different sections of the track.

Honda said the experience worked for different skill levels, with guests pointing to ergonomics, balance, and handling that helped make the runs both exciting and manageable.

“Honda Big Bikes are built for riders who want real performance they can feel on the track. We’re glad to see so many enthusiasts experience the precision and control our motorcycles are known for,” said Lloyd Garces, HPI Fun Section Manager.

Honda added that it plans to hold more performance-focused events for local riders, as it continues to push experiences that go beyond showroom viewing and spec sheets.
