We received confirmation from Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) that there will be a new product launching at the Honda Moto Fair on Sept. 23, 2023 at Market! Market! in Taguig City. As expected, Honda was still tight-lipped as to what model it would be. Our initial guess had been the Giorno+, which was recently launched in Thailand.

It was nice of Suzuki to let me have first dibs on the Burgman EX a month before its scheduled media test. There’s nothing like the exhilarating feeling of being the first to take a fresh unit on a long ride. Is it the same as the Burgman Street, fitted with a bigger rear wheel? Well, take a seat and read on bec
