Saw a Harley downtown HCMC yesterday, I want one. There is conflicting stories about licenses, hard to nail it down. Living in District 7 near Fu My Hung gives you the odd chance to do more than 80ks but in the north there is fabulous cruising grounds.
Just to confuse the police I am building a sidecar for my Yamaha 400, just for fun.
Vietnam is truly a great place to live, I aggree

I just returned from HCMC and I found a shop in District 1 which sells brand new 2008 Gold Wing for 40,000 US$.
On the other hand I found out that you can import motorcycle parts at a far lower tariff then a whole bike.
As there are so many custom parts available in the US and worldwide, one should be able to build a custom Harley for less then 10,000 US$ in Vietnam.
Anyway, I am considering to retire in Vietnam when I am 60 and build custom bikes in my spare time.
Vietnam is a good place to be. The people are friendly and the ladies are beautiful. nice and charming.

Vietnam officially allowed imports of brand-new (no second-hand, except foreigners with valid working visas import for their personal use) in May 2007. However, 90% import tax, 10% VAT and a huge fees on registration generally make a large displacement bike twice as expensive as it would cost in your country. Here are prices of some popular models:

- Honda CBR 1,000cc: over 22,000$US.
- Honda XR 250cc: over 12,000$US.
- Honda XR 400cc: over 15,000$US.
- Harley V-Rod 883cc: over 18,000$US.

Will you be ready to pay that much for one of these bikes to ride in a country where speed limit is from 25 to 80km/h, mostly 60km/h? The answer is no doubt a big “NO, NO”. Enough explained and said.

Great news! maybe I’ll apply for a job if they build in Saigon. In a more pressing matter, how do I import my ’82 Sturgis (Dealer Presentation Model !)into the country. My Viet wife and I own property in Vietnam and I want my bike over there. Any tips for doing this ?
