Hey,

Me and this guy I met are going to do a motor bike trip across SEA, think Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos etc.

I did a motorbike trip across Vietnam with a 110 Honda Wing motorbike, however is it possible to do it on a scooter? As I’m lazy doing manual.

Anyone with experience, please provide the pros and cons to each. For what I can think of motorbikes are more comfortable to ride for long durations.

Appreciate anyones help

    honda supercubs might be a nice middle ground. 70cc with gears but no clutch. it’s basically a semi-automatic.

    Yeah I did it on a piece of shit scooter that kept breaking down. Totally achievable just buy a better one than I did.

    Motorbike Pros:

    Looks cool, sounds cool, probably more fuel efficient at high speed idk, goes fast

    Motorbike Cons:

    More expensive, manual in Vietnamese traffic seems like a nightmare, too easy to go too fast and wrap yourself around a truck

    Scooter Pros:

    It goes, its cheap, lots of storage under the seat, fully automatic is sweet,

    Scooter Cons:

    Hard to impress people with pics of you driving around the country on a Fabio
