Lakes Honda Rotorua

🏍️🔧 Congratulations Jesse!

Jesse recently received a Rotary Rotorua North apprentice award, giving him $800 to put towards new tools. He was one of just 16 local apprentices recognised, and it's great to see his hard work being rewarded.

Jesse has been with Lakes Honda for over a year now and is well underway with his apprenticeship. He actually started out sweeping the workshop floors after school. We saw the potential 😉 and he's been going ahead in leaps and bounds ever since.

His passion for bikes doesn't stop when he leaves work either. When he's not in the workshop, you'll usually find him doing what he loves most - out at the motocross track.

Congratulations, Jesse. Keep up the great work!

We love sponsoring the Ngongotahā Volunteer Fire Brigade Quiz Night.

It was awesome to see a fantastic turnout and the community getting behind a great cause to help raise funds for new equipment.

These volunteers do an amazing job and are often among the first on the scene at serious motorcycle accidents and many other emergencies.

Thank you, Ngongotahā Volunteer Fire Brigade. We appreciate everything you do for our community and we're proud to support you.

Some bikes become part of the family and Ken & Deb’s Africa Twin story is exactly that.
After loving their 2017 Honda Africa Twin for years of sealed road adventures, gravel rides, and two up touring, it was finally time for Deb to get a bike of her own.
After plenty of research and a few practice rides on the 2017 Africa Twin, Deb decided the new 2025 Honda CRF1100 Africa Twin DCT ES was the perfect fit and may well have been the last one available in New Zealand.
Deb has already completed her first big ride with the Thames/Waihi Ulysses Club, clocking up 350km on Mother’s Day with lunch in Tamahere along the way.
The only question now is… when you’re a passionate horse rider too, how do you decide which horsepower to enjoy for the day?
Thanks Ken & Deb for sharing your story and adventures with us. We can’t wait to see where Tiger, Deb’s new Africa Twin, heads next.
Send us your favourite bike adventures and photos, we love seeing where the road (or track) takes you.
