Just came across this - Honda have introduced a mini-Goldwing version of the PCX complete with integrated topbox and panniers! ! Presumably for some Far East markets only...
It is in someways a bit daft, but I do like it!

I like it a lot, but a 160cc is a bit small, maybe 250 or 400. Having said that the proof of the pudding and all that.

Nice one Grumpy. Liking that. As Knight says, might be even nicer with a bigger motor but thinking that 11.8kw's from it's 160cc engine isn't too bad. It's a cruiser after all & country roads will no doubt be a pleasure with that motor. You don't need big motors though to have a lovely day long adventure going cross country. That's why bikes like the Honda Supercub do so we'll. Nice!

Agreed, but two up through the Yorkshire dales plus forty miles of motorway to get there, it's going to struggle. I was thinking of the sort of use I would put it to. Now maybe with a nice leccy motor with loads of low down torque.

Its clearly aimed at a particular Far Eastern market, who go for small capacities and for whom the 160cc size makes sense. For Europe a Forza 350 version would make more sense.
