Hi all,
I need some help planning a motorcycle trip across Vietnam. My wife & I are currently traveling around Asia and our next stop is Vietnam. It's a last minute plan but we thought it would be good to rent/buy a motorcycle in Hanoi and ride it down the coast to HCMC. We plan to do this over 3 weeks.
I was wondering if anyone here could suggest a bike for us. I am 6'1" and will be riding the bike with my wife as the passenger. We will also need room for a backpack. Total weight load on the bike will be about 190-200kg. Right now, the top options are Minsk, Minsk X, Yamaha YBR 125 or the Suzuki GN 125. Does anyone have any advice about this?
We are also considering the buy vs rent option but we arent sure how easy it will be to buy the bike in Hanoi and then sell it in HCMC.
Are there any recommendations for rental companies if we go down that path?
Flamingo, Cuong, Hanoi Motorcycle, Vietnam Motorbikes are the ones we have come across so far.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
Manyu
