If there's any unposted answers, please forward them to me. I'll be in Japan most of 2005 and want to ride through Viet Nam. I might be able to convince them that my bike is a 175 but don't know for sure. I'm trying to get a 175 engine badge to replace the 250 one. I also have no idea how strict they are.

Thanks,

--Dave

Hi Guy,s

Actually I don,t think the 175 cc or more is the isue.
It,s the temporary import.
They do not accept a carnet the passage or a libretta. You need a special (Vietnameese) bike-pasport... and you can only get that at a major town... with your bike present.
Now... how to get to this town with the bike, while you can not enter the country with the bike was something the border-guard could not explain... or I could not understand?.

Anyway... I am afraid it,s an MI (1 or 2)
But... for everything is a first...

Maarten
