Below 50cc, they are considered lightweight motorcycles, suitable only for short distances. From 50cc to 175cc, these are medium-sized and small motorcycles, widely used, accounting for up to 90% of the total traffic. Above 175cc, motorbikes are referred to as &#8220;big bikes&#8221; often preferred by speed enthusiasts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on usage type, motorbikes are classified into scooters, semi-automatic, and manual transmission. Besides, they are also classified based on their purpose of use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel bikes require powerful engines, compact and easy-to-use designs.

They are the top choices for the quality of products they offer. For semi-automatic, the Honda Wave is highly popular due to its compact design, light weight (around 99 kg on average), fuel efficiency, and the engine operates with remarkable power despite being only 110cc<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For scooters, Honda Vision and Honda Air Blade are the most popular choices, meeting criteria for easy use and smooth operation. Larger capacity motorbikes such as Yamaha NVX and Honda SH (125cc-155cc) are becoming more popular in recent years with their sporty and dynamic designs. In the manual transmission category, Honda Winner X and Yamaha Exciter (both 150cc) stand out with high recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2318 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z4942316923909_5910a1194fe2ed9a20d9e88cf3af3556.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"716\" height=\"403\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z4942316923909_5910a1194fe2ed9a20d9e88cf3af3556.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z4942316923909_5910a1194fe2ed9a20d9e88cf3af3556-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z4942316923909_5910a1194fe2ed9a20d9e88cf3af3556-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z4942316923909_5910a1194fe2ed9a20d9e88cf3af3556-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z4942316923909_5910a1194fe2ed9a20d9e88cf3af3556-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yamaha NVX 125-155cc<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_easy_to_find_big_bikes_in_Vietnam\"><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it easy to find big bikes in Vietnam?<\/span><\/i><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above commonly used motorbikes are easily seen everywhere on the streets of Vietnam, especially in densely populated areas like city centres.

Here are some suggestions you should consider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, small scooters with engine capacities of 110cc, such as Vision or Air Blade, are excellent choices for travelling within tourist areas with easy roads or for foreign tourists with long-term residency plans in Vietnam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For scooters with engine capacities up to 155cc, like NVX, they are suitable for commuting within the city or suburbs, and even on hilly mountain roads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2320\" src=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553392259_847826a7977d01671615ed5898530c9b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"405\" height=\"540\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553392259_847826a7977d01671615ed5898530c9b.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553392259_847826a7977d01671615ed5898530c9b-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553392259_847826a7977d01671615ed5898530c9b-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553392259_847826a7977d01671615ed5898530c9b-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553392259_847826a7977d01671615ed5898530c9b-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553392259_847826a7977d01671615ed5898530c9b-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><br \/>\nHonda Air Blade 110cc<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, semi-automatic bikes like Honda Wave (110cc) and Honda Future (125cc) are compact and lightweight, capable of handling both easy roads and hilly mountain roads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2321 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553281917_7d657137ee9383ab7fbbb25f3889fb4b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"543\" height=\"407\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553281917_7d657137ee9383ab7fbbb25f3889fb4b.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553281917_7d657137ee9383ab7fbbb25f3889fb4b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553281917_7d657137ee9383ab7fbbb25f3889fb4b-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553281917_7d657137ee9383ab7fbbb25f3889fb4b-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553281917_7d657137ee9383ab7fbbb25f3889fb4b-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5044553281917_7d657137ee9383ab7fbbb25f3889fb4b-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/>Honda Wave 110cc<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirdly, manual transmission bikes like Winner X (150cc) and Exciter (150cc) with powerful engines are perfect for long-distance trips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2322 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5067686418622_8a9f07e564c34c7e9fb6e386a4e42e6b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"379\" height=\"506\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5067686418622_8a9f07e564c34c7e9fb6e386a4e42e6b.jpg 956w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5067686418622_8a9f07e564c34c7e9fb6e386a4e42e6b-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5067686418622_8a9f07e564c34c7e9fb6e386a4e42e6b-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5067686418622_8a9f07e564c34c7e9fb6e386a4e42e6b-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/z5067686418622_8a9f07e564c34c7e9fb6e386a4e42e6b-600x801.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/>Honda Winner X 150cc<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you love adventure and off-road riding, the following options are suitable for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yamaha WR 150cc, Honda XR 150cc, CRF 250cc, CRF 300cc: Reliable choices suitable for the diverse terrain of Vietnam, popular for motorbike tours, handling all types of terrain and providing a powerful experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CB 500X: Ideal for long-term trips and riders with rich experience and a passion for speed.

It&#8217;s also a cost-effective option for those planning to use a motorbike for a few days or weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, buying a motorcycle provides more flexibility in using the bike according to your personal preferences. The one-time cost of purchasing a motorcycle may be more reasonable if you plan to use it for an extended period. However, this also implies that you will be responsible for maintaining the bike to ensure its strong and stable performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Points_for_Motorbike_Travel_in_Vietnam\"><\/span><b>Key Points for Motorbike Travel in Vietnam<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following points are based on the insights shared by Mr. Kien, who manages Az Motorbikes. With over 10 years of experience in the field, his shares are undoubtedly valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SHOULD_I_BE_CONCERNED_WITH_MOTORBIKES_BRANDS\"><\/span><i style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 14.4px;\">SHOULD I BE CONCERNED WITH MOTORBIKES BRANDS?<\/i><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The popularity of a brand reflects its recognition and the quality of the bikes. In Vietnam, Honda and Yamaha are the leading brands, trusted for their quality. People rely on them, and most bikes are from these two brands. If you hear that a bike is from China or Thailand, it&#8217;s worth considering. However, if the bike has a good running engine, it&#8217;s safe to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WHAT_SHOULD_I_LOOK_FOR_WHEN_SELECTING_A_BIKE_TO_RENT_OR_BUY\"><\/span><i style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 14.4px;\">WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN SELECTING A BIKE TO RENT OR BUY?<\/i><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether renting or buying, the first crucial step is to test the bike to check its running engine. Secondly, pay attention to the fuel gauge and the odometer system on the screen. Smart electronic screens are a plus, but not all bikes are equipped with them. Thirdly, horns, lights, and brakes are essential components. At Az Motorbikes, every bike undergoes regular maintenance, ensuring they are always ready for rent or sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For renting, you should also check for scratches or damaged parts, inform the rental staff, and take photos or videos if necessary. Choose rental providers with contracts to secure your rights and carefully read the terms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When buying, each bike has a registration ( blue card). Verify the information on it with the bike to avoid purchasing a bike with fake documents, which is illegal in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2323 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/tai-xuong.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"282\" height=\"179\" title=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motorbike registration ( Blue card)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WHAT_IS_THE_BEST_MOTORBIKE_FOR_TRAVELLING\"><\/span><i style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 14.4px;\">WHAT IS THE BEST MOTORBIKE FOR TRAVELLING?<\/i><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The best bike&#8221; should be understood as a bike that meets the requirements of powerful performance and good handling on all roads. For travel purposes, recommended bikes have a capacity of 125cc or more for scooters. You don&#8217;t need to worry about manual or semi-automatic bikes as they handle roads well. Note that for motorbike travel, every 800-1200 \u2026 km (depending on the bike type), users need to change the oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SHOULD_I_TAKE_INTO_ACCOUNT_THE_AGE_OF_THE_BIKE_WHEN_RENTING_OR_BUYING\"><\/span><i style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 14.4px;\">SHOULD I TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE AGE OF THE BIKE WHEN RENTING OR BUYING?<\/i><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many customers believe that the older the bike, the worse its performance. However, this is only true if the bike is not regularly maintained and checked. It&#8217;s important to understand that older bikes may occasionally encounter issues with the battery, electrical system, etc., and their rent or sale prices are often lower. In Vietnam, there&#8217;s a saying, &#8220;You get what you pay for,&#8221; so you must accept this if you rent or buy an older bike.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AUTHOR\"><\/span><strong>AUTHOR<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2324 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/azmotorbikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/22222222.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"268\" height=\"188\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Tran Manh Kien, the third-runner up of Manhunt Competition 2022<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born and raised in Hanoi with a family tradition in motorcycle repair, he started his entrepreneurial journey with just 20 motorcycles for rent under the name AZ MOTORBIKES.
