ABS is A Good Thing and all new road legal motor vehicles should have it.
So true, but you mentioned CBS being a legal thing (not ABS) that Honda have to stick with and many people don't like it or find it un-safe with wheels locking up. If so, and being an EU thing, then that as I said is another piece of legality they forced on us that is not so good. ABS - great, CBS - not so great.

CBS doesn't lock wheels, user error does.
What ABS does is to remove the possibility of that type of user error.

Yep, C-ABS is the best option.

I wouldn't buy it because I like the PCX and it's price is just fine for us.

This scooter would not do well locally, because cheap scooters are usually under 50cc (mopeds)
so that they do not require a motorcycle license or insurance,
which adds a lot to the cost of using them.

It does have a nice look to it, though.

A humorous promotional video from Honda

The scooter looks a bit different than in the other one.

Cultural differences, I think...
I'm pretty sure they didn't have an audience like me in mind when they made that video :)

In Indonesia yet language is English. So I think aimed at middle class Indonesians who speak English?

And probably young men

This one is humorous too, and although I don't understand a word of it,
I would love to look more like one of these young women scooter riders :)

Bizarre... I tried to exercise with my Buell the other day and it pinned me to the mat. Had to text my wife to come out and help me lift it off. Chief said it was a very humiliating experience :lol:
