CIFOS Motorcycle Gypsy Tour: A Ride to Remember, A Tradition in the Making

The CIFOS Motorcycle Gypsy Tour roared to life at the historic Fort Stotsenburg in Clark Parade Grounds, where nearly 400 riders gathered in unity before thundering toward the Clark International Speedway. It was more than just a ride—it was a living testament to passion, diversity, and camaraderie in the Philippine motorcycle scene.

From the iconic rumble of Harley-Davidson cruisers to the precision of Ducati, the reliability of Honda and Yamaha, the muscle of Kawasaki, the rising presence of CFMOTO, and the sheer strength of the lar gest contingent—the Suzuki Raider riders—the convoy was a kaleidoscope of brands and brotherhood.

The Raider, celebrated as the “Underbone King” in the Philippines for more than two decades, once again proved its unmatched influence, rallying the biggest group of riders to join the tour. Even the Ducatisti, with a proud group of more than 30 riders, added their signature flair to the parade, showing that every brand has a place in this celebration.

The roster also proudly included female riders, proving that passion for two wheels knows no boundaries. Their presence added a powerful layer of inclusivity to the event, inspiring more women to take part in the riding culture. The APEX group, traveling all the way from Cebu, embodied the nationwide pull of CIFOS—demonstrating that riders will go the distance to be part of this growing tradition.

“CIFOS is more than a ride—it’s a testament to what we can achieve together. Nearly 400 riders, from Harleys to the Underbone King Raider, with women riders and groups traveling from Cebu, proved that passion unites us beyond brands. On the track we create memories; on the road we carry discipline. To everyone who joined, thank you—your energy fuels us to make CIFOS bigger, better, and a tradition riders will cherish year after year.” says Jhonny Tan, President, Kilton Motor Corporation

The Gypsy Ride unfolded in the morning, setting the tone for a day filled with both excitement and learning. After the massive group was welcomed inside the Clark International Speedway, riders experienced the thrill of a parade lap—a rare chance for many to savor the feeling of being on a professional circuit. The message was clear: “Race on the track, not on the road.”

Suzuki then took the lead in reinforcing this commitment to safety, hosting a training seminar for riders right after the parade lap. It was a timely reminder that passion must always be paired with responsibility, ensuring that the community continues to thrive on discipline as much as on horsepower.

And the day didn’t end there. As the afternoon rolled in, the spotlight shifted to competition with the MoRAC Qualifying, running all throughout the day. The transition from the morning’s camaraderie to the afternoon’s racing spirit showcased the full spectrum of motorcycle culture—unity, safety, and performance.

Beyond the engines and asphalt, CIFOS carried a deeper spirit. It was about sharing builds, swapping stories, and celebrating passion—no matter the brand or background. Riders stood shoulder to shoulder, united by the love of two wheels and the freedom they represent.

This turnout makes CIFOS not just an event, but the beginning of a tradition. With its mix of heritage, horsepower, heartfelt community, and a full day of activities and this is just Day 2! CIFOS is poised to become one of the most anticipated gatherings riders will look forward to year after year—whether to ride the track, showcase their builds, or simply be among fellow enthusiasts who share the same fire.
