It’s July 2023, and Cub House Honda in Thailand is back at it again with a new Monkey Custom Special Edition. This time, it’s the Lightning—and it’s full of cute graphics and a sweet tartan seat that really complements the bright yellow paint scheme.
Let’s start with the tank. The side panels each feature a cartoon lightning bolt design flanked by two storm clouds, each with a smaller bolt of lightning shooting out from underneath at the ground below. This design sits inside a circle formed by the words “Lightning Edition,” with the first “i” in “lightning” turned into yet another lightning bolt for added emphasis. The main Lightning Edition mascot is wearing tinted sun goggles and either smiling or grimacing. Maybe he’s too cool to smile?
