The Honda XRM is an underbone-style motorbike that is produced and sold in the Philippines.[citation needed] Since 2001, the Honda XRM has been released with a 110cc engine, but 2007 has seen the release of the Honda XRM 125cc which uses the engine from the Honda Wave 125cc. It is designed for both on- and off-road use.
Ease of modification and readily-available parts and accessories have made the Honda XRM popular, particularly with underbone riding culture, with numerous rider clubs being formed across the country. Unfortunately, these modifications (especially to the handlebars and wheels) are dangerous, and oftentimes cause accidents, not to mention defeating the "Dual-Sport" nature of the motorbike.
The Honda Bravo is a derivative of the Honda XRM designed for city use.
