The Honda XRM is an underbone-style motorbike produced and sold in the Philippines since 2001 by Honda Motors Philippines. The Honda XRM was originally released with a 110 cc (6.7 cu in) engine, but was later changed to a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) engine taken from the Honda Wave. It is designed for both on- and off-road use.

A non-off road model was also sold in Thailand as the Honda Nice. Since 2021, it was sold in New Zealand as a non-street legal farm bike.[1]

Its flexibility on modifications, and readily available parts and accessories have made the Honda XRM popular, particularly with the underbone riding culture, with numerous rider clubs being formed across the country. These modifications (especially to the handlebars and wheels) can pose danger, as they are not included in the product's engineering, and often defeat the "dual-sport" nature of the motorbike.

The Honda Bravo is a derivative of the Honda XRM designed for city use, but it carries the same frame that is used by NF100 (Wave100 - both models) not the frame of the XRM.
