That's not a bad idea! Mine was to put a rack and have a waterproof duffle bag (like a fake North Face), kinda permanently attached on it with a bungee cord around. When not not in use, it can just but flattened. When having groceries, just untie the bungie, fill in the bag and secure it with the bungee. Sounds complicated like that but in my mind it would work pretty easily and would keep the 'rugged look' of the bike. Plus it's already ready for weekend road trip. Now the top box could work too at the end of the day, there's lot of time when you end up needing the storage unprepared. And I'm really not of fan of the look, especially on such small bikes. Or I can just stop being dumb and go with the sensible solution of a Honda Click. xD

It's the age old question when buying a new bike in Bangkok... Honda Click 160 Easy to drive in traffic, no gears Foot well and boot for storage (helmet/groceries) Best daily bike but not ideal for weekend road trips Looks meh Yamaha Exciter 155 Not fun in heavy traffic but doable No storage (biggest problem imo) Fun to drive when roads open up Aggressive Great for out of town trips Looks great (imo) So pretty pretty much a heart vs head decision ahah. At least in my situation.

Ahhh such a shame. Don't know why it wouldn't sell well here, it's small/nimble enough for the city but with gears etc when tackling mountain roads and longer road trips. Perfect bike for SE-Asia imo. CBR/CB etc are too big for Bangkok traffic and commuting, and the rest of the models (Wave/click) are not aggressive enough. Guess I'll be looking at the Exciter then ;).

Sorry to revive an old thread but do you guys think the Honda Winner X will one day make it's come back in Thailand? Doesn't seem like it's sold here anymore =/. Such a shame. Having ridden it in Vietnam, it's an amazing little motorbike!
