The XR is the most comfortable 150cc motorbike
The Honda XR 150cc is a dual-sport designed to be both on the road and off the road! Within the 150cc category, it is the most comfortable motorbike for one or two riders. It is small compared to the western world of motorbikes. However, this dual-sport motorbike is a big vehicle for Vietnam, and it will attract attention from the locals.
Adventure driving on the Honda XR 150
Vietnam is mostly tarmac roads, but often at times the terrain can turn into gravel and mud tracks. The XR is light enough to tackle any terrain, and there is no situation where you would be caught off guard.
The Honda XR is unsupported by Honda
The XR 150cc falls into the range of “unsupported” motorbikes within Vietnamese mechanics. This means that Honda does not officially service the motorbike or stock the parts. Tigit has these motorbikes on a mass scale, and we have the parts. However, on occasion, we may need to send a part to your location. Simple things like inner-tubes are not stocked throughout Vietnamese mechanics, which means drivers must add them to their luggage load.
Adventure seekers vs New drivers on the Honda XR
Without the babysitting of Honda Service centers at Tigits/Clients disposal, small problems can lead to big problems with inexperienced riders. Overall this is an incredibly reliable and easy motorbike to operate. However, it does not have the same ease of use as the locally supported motorbikes such as the Honda Winner 150cc.
Tires Tigit uses on the Honda XR
The Honda XR 150L is equipped with dual-sport tires. We consider them 80% road with 20% offroad.
The Honda XR 150cc Rack
The Honda XR rack can support an 82L Enduristan bag without the extension rack. The extension rack is strapped down with bungees and adds an additional platform. Bags can be mounted sideways or lengthways. Overall for the size of the motorbike, there is a huge amount of space for luggage.
Hi I am currently in Ca Tien National Park and an going to ride down to Saigon in four days. I can take time to explore the Mekong Delta with my current Honda win and possibly hop over to Phu Quoc. My plans are really flexible and am very interested in renting an XR150 for a return trip back up to Hanoi via the Ho Chi Minh Trail(since I missed it on the way down).
Questions are:
-when might one be available in Saigon?
-What is there to consider when crossing the Laos border?
I hear you can get the visa, but the bike would be hard to get across
Thanks in Advance!

For laos you need to use the na meo border near Hanoi.

Hello,
I am looking to rent an xr 150 from February 5th-22nd. Pick up in ho chi Minh and drop off in Hanoi. Will this bike be available? Please provide the cost.
Thanks
Sorry we are out of manual motorbikes through FEB.
To other readers, we really do need 1 month in advance for bookings. The Tigit operation is at full capacity until we can find some more money for a larger location.
We reject XR rentals on a daily bases which is frustrating for us and travellers.
Potienaly stupid question however, the full 2000 will be retured after the trip (given no damage) I’m looking for a bike for 16 of February. If available would i be able to send my deposit now to reserve thanks
Yes the $2000 is returned.
