Recommended bikes for on-road adventures in Vietnam
We match the bike to the route. For on-road touring, you need a machine that handles well at highway speed, stays comfortable over long distances, and is easy to maintain anywhere in the country. These are the bikes we recommend.
Honda XR150 and XR190
The XR150 and XR190 are lightweight, fuel-efficient, and available at every workshop in Vietnam. They are easy to ride, easy to load, and easy to repair. Both handle paved mountain roads and national highways without effort. For riders who want a simple, reliable bike with no mechanical surprises, either XR is the right choice.
Honda CB500X
The CB500X is our top choice for riders who want more power on longer routes. It sits naturally at 80–100 km/h, handles well through mountain switchbacks, and carries a passenger or full luggage without strain. This is a genuine road-touring bike. It works on every road in Vietnam and holds up well over multi-week trips.
BMW GS Series
For experienced riders who want the best touring platform available, we offer BMW GS models on selected itineraries. The GS handles sealed mountain passes with complete control, carries heavy luggage, and keeps you comfortable across 300+ km riding days. If you already ride a GS at home, this is the obvious choice for Vietnam.
