Laos border guards put a sticker on your bike with a deposit ($20-$60 can't remember the exact amount) to be picked up when you leave, good luck in getting it back 
If you are happy to plod along on a 150cc most of S/E Asia is a doddle just sell and re-buy if a border becomes difficult. Viet-Nam and Thai entry with a foreign bike are your main obstacles. At the moment starting in Nam, with a multi-entry Visa gets you access to Laos and Cambodia, do that and work it out from there. Avoid the main highway north/south along the coast in Viet-Nam, it has been the first and last overseas bike ride for many a tourist.
Laos is a little known treasure, with some stunning rides, a bigger bike will struggle to get to some small Islands on the Mekong so small works here.
Honda dealers everywhere through Asia
Have a good one
