Honda Philippines recently marked a milestone as it produced its 10 millionth motorcycle in the country. Now, on the other side of its lineup, it marks the end of the road for one of its popular models: the RS125.
To commemorate the nameplate, the Japanese motorcycle brand has revealed the new Honda RS 125 Final Edition. Only 20,000 units of these will be built, and they’ll only be available until March 2028.
The RS 125 has been a staple in the Honda stable, amassing over 350,000 cumulative sales in the years it was sold in the market. Honda says the model continues to perform well, sales-wise, but axing it also marks the brand’s transition “into a new era of innovation, enabling a more efficient and future-ready lineup, optimizing resources for next-generation products, and creating greater opportunities for future model expansion to meet evolving customer needs and market trends.”
