You can hire Honda XL 125cc dirt bikes only. Honda XR Baja 250cc, Honda SL 223cc enduro bikes are for our customers who book guided off-road rides as an upgrade at an extra cost, only available for independent riders if we don't use on our tours. We don't recommend riding double on this bike as the seat is quite thin and not really comfortable for the pillion passengers.

Honda dirtbike SL/VFR/XR 250cc White, Front and Back Drum brake

It really is a confidence inspiring bike to ride. It's easy to get seen by car drivers because of it's height and bright single (XR), it also makes for excellent visibility. It goes round corners better than most of bikes available in Vietnam - faster, more lean angle and really easy to flick side to side.

Made in 1998, Honda XR Baja 4-stroke, 250cc is a true motocross for Vietnamese off-road ridings where power is what you need to get over dirt roads. However, this bike is ideal for riders from 1.85m and experienced bikers.

Today, the minimum a serious long distance traveller would use is around 650cc, however most travellers are riding from 750 to 1200 cc bikes, preferably shaft driven. (BMW is far the most popular bike followed by Honda Transalp and Africa Twins, Kawasaki and Yamaha 650 and 750 Enduro's etc). During the 70's most of the trips were done on 250 cc bikes. At that time the Yamaha XT250 and Honda XL were the most popular bikes. However, Vietnamese speed limit is from 25 to 80km/hour, therefore we found out that 250cc is the maximum our riders need for a great trip at reasonable price.

Honda dirtbike XL 125s 125cc Red, Drum brake

Honda dirtbike XL 125s 125cc Red, Drum brake

A good, well maintained dirt (trail) bike is the cornerstone of every enjoyable enduro tour.

As always, this is a compromise between bike purchasing cost (we're not sponsored by any motorcycle company - the touring business here is too small to be attractive for any bike manufacturer), bike operating cost, availability of spare parts, reliability and the "fun factor" of the bikes.

Considering all this, we purchased four-stroke Honda XL 125, which are fairly lightweight, durable, and a barrel of fun.

Made in 2000, Honda XL 125s 4-stroke, 125 cc is a real motocross for Vietnamese mountain roads where power means nothing as roads are small and have many blind curves.
