At Market! Market! last week, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) launched their latest motorcycle that’s designed to break norms, turn heads and cruise through life with confidence. Before unveiling the new Honda model, the questions, “WANNAVi Classic?”, “WANNAVi Free?”, “WANNAVi Bold?”, and “WANNAVi Cool?” resonated around the venue. Of course, the attending motorcycle media, content creators, accessory makers, and motorcycle enthusiasts all “wannabe” classic, free, bold and cool. Who wouldn’t?
After getting a hip and warm welcome from HPI President Takeshi Kobayashi, and after an informative product briefing from HPI Product Planning Supervisor Jhon Carlo Esmas, the All-New Honda NAVi was unveiled with each color getting its own exciting introduction.

Powered by Honda Eco Technology (HET), the NAVi’s 109cc single-cylinder engine delivers perky performance with a concern for the environment. A 3.5-liter fuel tank with an average fuel use of 48.4 km/L, allows riders to go the distance with fewer fuel stops – perfect for students, young professionals, and first-time scooter riders who need reliable, everyday mobility.
Safe, smooth & stable
Riding the All-New Honda NAVi is easy with its Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT) – just twist-and-go, no fuzz, no muss, and no need to shift gears or operate a clutch. Stopping is safe and sure with because the NAVi comes with Honda’s Combined Braking System (CBS) that integrates the front and rear brakes with one brake lever. The CVT and CBS make riding the NAVi a breeze and particularly suitable for beginner riders.
