Motorcycles in Vietnam have many types from popular to high-end and luxury. These include models of clutches, scooters and sports motorcycles with prices ranging from tens of millions of dong (23,195 = 1 USD) to more than one billion dong (43,064).

The motorbike market in Vietnam is still growing despite previous forecasts that it has reached the saturation point. High taxes and infrastructure constraints are constraints on cars and there is still demand for this type of transport

“Although the market will not see significant changes in the future, it will continue to grow steadily with 3-3.5 million motorcycles sold each year,” VAMM said.

It said 79% of Vietnamese use motorbikes to get around, while the global average is only 10% globally.
