Unless you are an expat, you shouldn’t be buying a motorbike.

However here is an article with some basics pointers on buying a motorbike in Vietnam.

Another topic where Tigit continues to bash the Chinese motorbike market. However, in this post we do some math to try and explain the costs of renting vs buying.

Read the full article here at Chinese VS Real Honda.

It is possible to buy and sell a Chinese Honda Win. Most travelers doing this are aiming to lose as little money as possible at all costs. The motorbike is Chinese and low quality, to begin with, and the traveler on a budget is unlikely to invest in maintenance.

The alternative is to rent a genuine motorbike from a place like Tigit.

The article below explains from Tigit Jon’s opinion as to the 40 best and worst motorbikes in Vietnam.
An impossible topic to keep up to date with. New models are always released. However it provides an overview to the motorbike market of Vietnam.

Read the The 40 Best (and worst) Motorbikes in Vietnam.

Honda Blade Semi 110cc  Automatic is our cheapest and most popular motorbike. There is nothing this motorbike can not do.

Honda Winner 150cc is our most reliable manual motorbike.

Honda XR 150 is our most comfortable “affordable” motorbike and probably the best “all around vehicle” when taking into account performance and budget.

Honda CB 500cc is our “big motorbike” for two people and luggage.

• Tigit Motorbikes started as a Honda Win dealer.
• We stopped renting / selling them because they didn’t work, and the business model is not expandable.
• The quantity of breakdowns and after service required to avoid review blackmail threats was stressful and impossible to manage.
• They are toy motorbikes that wobble around and drive like toys.
• They are incredibly dangerous. The review blackmail threats in the old days of Tigit were probably justified!
• Detech Honda Wins are not much better, and every few years the small Vietnamese dealers find a “new brand” to promote to backpackers.
• If they worked, we would sell / rent them. They don’t…. so we don’t.

• We provide lessons to customers who have booked a motorbike with Tigit
• Please watch our video about driving manual motorbikes.
• Please watch our video teaching about driving a motorbike in Vietnam.
• Honda blades (our signature and most popular motorbikes) are incredibly easy to drive.
