Amongst the highlights of this year’s HBD was the Honda PCX Bikers Tour, which saw over 1,000 Honda PCX owners from Makassar and Gowa. A 150-km adrenaline rush ride starting from the Malino Regency towards the AkKarena Beach allowed bikers to get the best scenic views across Sulawesi’s country-side. It used rural and mountain paths with beautiful sights at spots such as the local tourist Ramang-Ramang, and most of them ride on Honda PCX160, described as powerful, spacious for storage, comfort and reliability along the long journey.
