motivTABI Vol.2
Journeys where riders find new encounters and experiences around the world.
This is the second edition of our journey for riders who love new encounters and experiences. Once again, the stage is Bangkok, Thailand.
The project started when Kanae Kishi, CEO of motiv Inc., visited Thailand and fell head over heels for its motorcycle culture. Bangkok seen through a rider's eyes is full of charm — full of moments and encounters that only riders notice.
Vol.2 offers something quite different from Vol.1. Come and share an experience you will find nowhere else but motivTABI.
motivTABI can offer what no one else does because every itinerary is produced by Kanae Kishi from what she has actually experienced and been moved by as a rider. Sightseeing tours are everywhere — motivTABI always adds something only a rider would appreciate.
We will visit CubHOUSE in Bangkok. Enjoy the in-store cafe and take your time browsing the shop. We also plan to hear directly from the store manager and staff about what makes Thai motorcycle culture special, and to see custom builds and ways of enjoying bikes that you will not find in Japan.
KUSHITANI has a store in Bangkok with a factory attached, where many Thai staff work. Inside the factory you will take part in sewing your own personalised leather pouch with your name on it (for example, Kanae ADV). The pouch is yours to take home as a gift. Do enjoy meeting the staff and shopping in the store as well — the Thailand-exclusive shirts come highly recommended.
The first CubHOUSE in Japan has opened in Toda City, Saitama. We will visit the Bijogi flagship store together to experience what makes the Japanese CubHOUSE special. The stamp rally running at 16 CubHOUSE locations in Thailand now has a 17th stop — the store in Japan — so let's take part in it across both countries. It feels like a bridge between the joy of riding in Japan and in Thailand. A special gift is also planned for everyone joining Vol.2.
In Japan she is known as Kanae ADV, and she is active as a motorcycle influencer in her own right. She will be with you for the whole journey, so let's make memories that last a lifetime. For the record, she loves Thai food (fish above all), watermelon smoothies and the occasional beer. Please join her.
* Some of the above is still being finalised and may change. We are working with our partners to make it happen.
“Travelling with your Cub.”
Sunday 25 October 2026 | CubHOUSE Honda Nirin Bijogi Store No.1, Japan
motivTABI is holding a collaboration event at CubHOUSE Store No.1, a gathering place for people who love motorcycles.
For Vol.2, motivTABI is visiting CubHOUSE in Bangkok, where you'll get to hear directly from Honda Thailand staff about what makes CubHOUSE special.
There's more: CubHOUSE in Thailand is currently running a touring-style stamp rally across every CubHOUSE location in the country, using a dedicated passport you can only get in Thailand.
motivTABI has arranged to bring some of these passports back especially for participants. At the 25 October event we'll hold a small presentation ceremony for them, and it's also a chance for motivTABI participants to meet one another.
Everyone who joined Vol.1 or Vol.2, and anyone simply curious about motivTABI, is very welcome to come along.
These photos show the atmosphere of past events. Age, gender and background make no difference — if you love motorcycles and travel, you are very welcome.
* Free to attend. All riders and all bikes are welcome — come and enjoy the afternoon with us.
Saturday 23 – Sunday 24 January 2027
* The schedule is subject to change.
Bikes, food, street corners — everyday Bangkok, framed through a rider's eyes.
From Japan, four days off — travel included — is all you need to join.
And if you love summer as much as Kanae does, you will fit right in.
