Honda showed a concept motorcycle at last month's show in Osaka. It's called the Cross Cub 110. Let's hope Honda decides to import these to USA!

It looks like a modern version of Honda's smallest motorcycle, which has been sold worldwide since the 1960s. Lots of people had their first taste of off-pavement riding on a Honda Trail 90.

There are several published reports of people riding this sort of motorcycle on long distance trips.
Here's a story of an Irishman who rode from Alaska to Argentina http://hondavstheworld.com/
Here's a site that details an Aussie who rode from Sydney to London. http://www.thepostman.org.uk/
Here's the web pages of Ken Preston, a Seattle native who takes trips in Southeast Asia by motorbike to study techniques of wooden boat building http://www.boatsandrice.com/About.html

Of course, ADVRider has been all over this story for weeks

Thanks for sharing. I liked these quotes

"From Canada to Santa Cruz the fuel bill was a crippling $46." That's about 1000 miles, using maybe 12 gallons of gas.

"As for the customization, I tied two milk crates to the back and flipped some ten speed handle bars upside down for a board rack." Maybe we don't need the Touratech catalog after all.

I would pick up one of those in a heatbeat as a trail bike to bring with my suburban
