HONDA DIRT BIKE XL 125S/SE
HONDA DIRT BIKE XL 125S/SE
A good, well maintained dirt (trail) bike is the cornerstone of every enjoyable enduro tour.

As always, this is a compromise between bike purchasing cost (we're not sponsored by any motorcycle company - the touring business here is too small to be attractive for any bike manufacturer), bike operating cost, availability of spare parts, reliability and the "fun factor" of the bikes.

Considering all this, we purchased four-stroke Honda XL 125, which are fairly lightweight, durable, and a barrel of fun.
Made in 2000, Honda XL 125s 4-stroke, 125 cc is a real motocross for Vietnamese mountain roads where power means nothing as roads are small and have many blind curves.
