Before unveiling the one in the conference room, we were invited to the race track to witness the RS150 in action. We weren't disappointed. 3 color variants wowed us and the audience with the arrival of the newest underbone from Honda.
Back to the conference room, the bike was unveiled and given us an opportunity to inspect the bike up close. Mr. Salamanquit explained the technological advances of the RS150 and how it's just one of the few bikes specifically designed for our country, just like the XRM and TMX.
