What to check when buying a motorcycle in Vietnam?

When buying a motorcycle in Vietnam, you cannot rely solely on the seller's words. Be sure to do the following:

1. Careful external inspection: check the general condition, signs of repair, rust.
2. Test ride: ride not only on a flat road but also on uneven surfaces, uphill. Since you are buying in the city, you can try to go up onto the sidewalk or over a curb to assess the suspension.
3. Number verification: make sure that the frame number and registration number on the motorcycle match the data in the documents (vehicle registration card).
4. Document check: when purchasing, you should be given the motorcycle documents and a sales contract (or at least a receipt), so that the previous owner cannot report the vehicle as stolen.

Remember that for travel, simple and reliable models with manual transmission, such as the Honda Win, are best suited.
