The test-ride zone drew the most interest. A total of 13 models, including the Honda CBR650R, Honda CB650R E-Clutch, CB1000F and 2026 Super Cub, were available, giving participants the chance to experience riding them.
On the “Mini Gymkhana” course, riders weaved between cones and tested their riding skills against one another.
The “Adventure Turtle Race,” introduced for the first time this year, also drew attention. Riding Honda CRF300L and Honda CT125 Hunter Cub models, participants made their way as slowly as possible while maintaining their balance on an off-road course fitted with coconut mats and obstacles.
A self-camping area and a café and food zone operated in one part of the venue. Booths from related companies, including Dainese, Alpinestars, Pips Motorcycle and Pirelli Tires, were also set up, along with a vendor area run by Honda owners, showcasing riding gear and accessories.
Honda Day began in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, and this year marked its 11th edition in Boryeong. Honda Korea said around 2,100 people took part in the event. Photos and video: Seo Dong-il
