Every year, motorcycle enthusiasts come to see and be seen at one of the country’s biggest motorcycle events. The Makina Moto Show was held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay on April 26-28. It was a weekend event for motorcycle lovers, along with influencers, celebrities, families, and other aficionados from all walks of life.

This event has seen a steady growth in the number of fans and participants, proving that the community of riders in the Philippines is only getting bigger.

The event attendees were treated to a sensory overload of anything and everything from the world of motorcycles.

Already established brands like Harley-Davidson, Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Royal Enfield never failed to impress in showing off their latest models.

The companies also showcased their direction toward the future with their electric alternatives on display.

BMW Motorrad had the CE 02, a lightweight electric bike ideal for urban cruising, while Kawasaki had the beloved Ninja, but an electric one. Harley-Davidson’s minimalist logo rebrand from 2019 was also proudly displayed.

Chinese brands CFMoto, Bristol, and QJ Motor were still a novelty for some, and attracted a curious crowd—although these brands had already gained their respective followings among the riding community.

Other highlights included the lineup of electric scooters from Segway, which is more widely known for its personal transport device. Motostrada’s Zeeho also introduced its own lineup of electric scooters.

The Makina Moto Show also celebrated our homegrown custom bike builders. Iron Macchina Custom’s all-black BatCycle and Jeffrey Ylagan’s Japanese-style custom Royal Enfield Chopper proudly highlighted Filipino creativity.

Apart from bike models, attendees had access to educational talks on proper riding and safety tips, special discounts, raffles, and freebies for merchandise and gear.

The Makina Moto Show has proven to be a much-anticipated event for the Filipino riding community. We look forward to next year’s show.
