Every year, without fail, Cub House Honda always brings something interesting to the Bangkok International Motor Show. Often, the team isn’t content with just bringing something new, and this year is no different. The Honda Monkey Star Wars Edition, created in two variants in collaboration with H2C Design.
Those with a passing familiarity with the franchise can probably already guess what the two variants are. Naturally, there’s 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 road.
And it’s the details that matter here. 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 accents, 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 rim strip to highlight its small wheels, while the Light Side Monkey has (what else?) a blue rim strip.
Whichever side of the Force you choose, there’s also a gift box that comes with the Star Wars Edition Monkey. It includes a Star Wars LED light box (complete with the Honda Monkey logo as part of its composition), a Star Wars LED lightsaber lamp (red or blue), a Star Wars driver’s jacket and a key ring to accompany your choice of a Dark Side or Light Side Monkey.
