In the '80's Cavalcade was an option for the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer. Honda hit the roads with its GoldWing, Yamaha created the Venture and Kawasaki had the Voyager. Between five years of production, 9000 units were produced and none of them was sold in Japan because of the regulations that prohibited selling bikes over 750cc.
