Every year, without fail, Cub House Honda always brings something interesting to the Bangkok International Motor Show. Often, the team is not satisfied with just bringing some novelty, and this year is no different. The Honda Monkey Star Wars Edition, created in two variants in collaboration with H2C Design.
Those who have a passing familiarity with the franchise can probably already guess what the two variants are. Naturally, there is a Dark Side Monkey and a Light Side Monkey, each with its own color scheme and graphics to distinguish them from everything else on the street.
And what matters here are the details. The Dark Side Monkey is essentially black with red details, as well as a yellow Star Wars logo that glows in the dark on the tank. Meanwhile, the Light Side Monkey is essentially silver with blue details, with a white Star Wars logo that glows in the dark on the tank.
Both bikes have carbon fiber air filter covers, but each has a different graphic, according to the Dark Side or Light Side theme. The side covers of both bikes have Honda Monkey graphics with the unmistakable Monkey font. The Dark Side Monkey has a red stripe on the rim to highlight its small wheels, while the Light Side Monkey has (what else?) a blue stripe on the rim.
Whichever side of the Force you choose, there is also a gift box that comes with the Monkey Star Wars Edition. It includes a Star Wars LED light box (complete with the Honda Monkey logo as part of its design), a Star Wars lightsaber LED lamp (red or blue), a Star Wars driver’s jacket, and a keychain suitable to accompany your choice of a Dark Side or Light Side Monkey.
