Honda NAVi: The Game-Changer in the Philippine Scooter Scene

The Philippine motorcycling scene welcomed a fresh and unconventional contender in July 2025 with the official launch of the Honda Navi. Breaking the mold of traditional scooters and underbones, this mini-moto is carving out its own niche as an affordable, fun, and highly practical option for new riders, students, and city commuters.

The Honda NAVi has taken the Philippine motorcycle market by storm with its unique blend of style, performance, and affordability. Designed for the adventurous and young-at-heart riders, the NAVi isn’t your ordinary scooter — it’s a crossover between a motorcycle and a scooter, bringing a whole new category of fun and freedom on two wheels.

A Fresh Look for Urban Riders


At first glance, the Honda NAVi stands out with its bold, playful design. It looks like a mini motorcycle but runs with the ease and comfort of a scooter. Available in vibrant colors such as Ranger Green, Patriot Red, and Galaxy Black, the NAVi appeals to riders who want a fun and eye-catching ride that reflects their personality. Its compact size also makes it perfect for city commuting, allowing riders to maneuver easily through heavy traffic and tight streets.

Performance and Efficiency Combined

Under the hood, the Honda NAVi is powered by a 109.19cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke SI engine, paired with a V-Matic transmission — meaning it’s fully automatic and requires no manual clutch operation. This makes it beginner-friendly and easy to ride, even for first-time motorcycle owners.

The NAVi’s engine delivers a balance of power and fuel efficiency, producing around 7.8 hp and achieving an impressive 60+ km/L fuel consumption. This makes it an excellent choice for daily commuters looking for an economical yet fun ride.

Comfort and Convenience


The Honda NAVi comes with a comfortable upright riding position, a low seat height of 765 mm, and 14-liter storage space located where the fuel tank would normally be on a motorcycle. This innovative design provides practical storage for personal items or small bags, making it ideal for everyday use.

Its telescopic front suspension and spring-loaded hydraulic rear suspension ensure a smooth ride, even on bumpy Philippine roads. With drum brakes on both wheels, riders can also expect reliable stopping power.

Affordable Fun on Two Wheels

One of the biggest reasons for the NAVi’s popularity is its affordable price tag. Priced at around ₱62,900 (SRP as of 2025), it’s one of the most budget-friendly models in Honda’s lineup. Despite its low price, it doesn’t compromise on quality, performance, or style — living up to Honda’s reputation for reliability and durability.

Perfect for the Filipino Lifestyle

The Honda NAVi fits perfectly with the dynamic lifestyle of Filipinos — practical, expressive, and always on the go. It’s a ride that combines mobility with personality, giving young professionals, students, and casual riders a chance to express themselves while enjoying every journey.

Final Thoughts


With its mix of motorcycle looks, scooter convenience, and budget-friendly price, the Honda NAVi has successfully carved its own niche in the Philippine market. It’s more than just a mode of transportation — it’s a lifestyle statement that brings fun, freedom, and functionality to Filipino riders.

Whether you’re cruising through the city or taking a quick weekend ride, the Honda NAVi is proof that great things come in compact, colorful packages.

See you on the streets!

Cheerio!

Hanamichi Sakuragi: In Real Life

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan. ...

The Most Expensive Philippine Coin Ever Sold

Image
I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste...

Gold in 10-Peso Philippine Coin

Image
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is the central bank of the Republic of the Philippines. It was established on 3 July 1993 pursuant to the provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution and the New Central Bank Act of 1993. The BSP took over from the Central Bank of Philippines, which was established on 3 January 1949, as the country’s central monetary authority. The BSP enjoys fiscal and administrative autonomy from the National Government in the pursuit of its mandated responsibilities. The new BSP logo is a perfect round shape in blue that features three gold stars and a stylized Philippine eagle rendered in white strokes. These main elements are framed on the left side with the text inscription “Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas” underscored by a gold line drawn in half circle. The right side remains open, signifying freedom, openness, and readiness of the BSP, as represented by the Philippine eagle, to soar and fly toward its goal. Putting all these elements together is a ...
