Looks like they added a drink holder.

I asked around and was told this bodywork kit is widely available in Indonesia or internationally on Ali Baba Popular in Indonesia along with others for the PCX such as an Ironman and marvel characters :)




There is more than one company producing Goldwing style ones, here is a slightly different (not as good) one.

Looks like Honda decided to cash in on the craze.

I had to chuckle at the voice saying "For long Distance Touring". Long distance must be 15 miles to them.

Now do this, like Tromper said above, to a 300cc like the X-max or even to a Kymco AK550. YEAH BABY!!!

Way back in the early 1970's I played around with a lot of Honda CB160 twins. I had maybe 10 of them over the years.
With a lot of work they would give good performance but I would never want to ride one from Seattle to St Louis MO.

Decades ago had a friend take an early 80's small Honda of some sort from Minneapolis to Denver.
Can't recall the model, but his description of the ride was "Slow death by vibrator."

And yet we all admire ItchyBoots riding a 20hp "thumper" 30,000 kms.

Nathan Millward rode a 110cc Honda from Sidney (Oz) to London, then the same bike from New York to Alaska, via everywhere.- 8000 miles in 3 months

Or (a long read, 'cos it was a long journey).....

As a youth, 800 mile camping tours on 150cc Lambrettas was our thing.(2 up).
Granted, no Interstates for us. But is blasting the Interstate "touring", or rather racing from A to B?

In Indonesia only something like 0.5% of roads are “highways”, it’s almost entirely city and what brits might call “B roads” at best.
I don’t know Indonesia well but from experience in similar Far East countries - light and manoeuvrable is what matters on the road (not to mention affordable/mpg if you are resident).

From my house to Saint Louis MO by Superslab doing 85 MPH is 28 hours and 2040 miles.

Doing all "B" roads and max speeds of 55 to 65 MPH is 39 hours and 2250 miles. The scenery will be the same endless fields of grain but 1.5 days longer and 5-6 more gallons of gas.

Motor and tank are too small to interest me as a long distance bike, and I don't need all the bags and plastic for day trips. I don't think it fits what I want in a bike to use on trips.
