A small-displacement, playful bike like the PG-1 is exactly my kind of thing. A Thailand-built model like this has all of Asia's scooter scene packed into it. It shrugs off paved and unpaved roads alike, riding freely with camping gear loaded on - easy, convenient, and it feels like a genuine companion. It makes you believe there's nowhere it can't go.

Can this actually be registered and ridden normally in Japan?

The PG-1's around 115cc if I recall right.

Calling it 'Yamaha's Cross Cub' — is it really that close to the Cross Cub? Different animal.

Well, the positioning's similar, both fall under the 'leisure-practical bike' category.

Gray importing ends up expensive in the end, it goes through Silverback anyway.

I really like this spec of the PG-1, makes me want to go camping.

This would be perfect for trail camp touring, luggage capacity looks good too.
