A private enterprise in Ho Chi Minh City has imported the Honda Giorno+ SC35 ThaiGP from Thailand. This model is number 68 out of a total of 99 produced globally. In East Asian culture, the number 68 symbolizes prosperity.
This special edition Giorno+ shares a similar design with the standard version. The highlights are the color scheme and the number 35 on the front panel. 35 is Chantra's racing number in MotoGP, the highest level of motorcycle racing. Somkiat Chantra currently rides for the Idemitsu Honda LCR team. He is the first Thai racer to compete in MotoGP.

The white, red, and black colors on the Honda Giorno+ SC35 ThaiGP are inspired by the RC213V race bike that Somkiat Chantra rides. The LED headlight cover and front mudguard are also painted red. The 12-inch front wheel has an additional red rim with the number 35.
