Nearly everyone in Vietnam rides a motorcycle, it’s not only a necessity, but it’s also a way of life. Often one small motorcycle will be the only mode of transportation for an entire family. Everything from Honda Waves and Winners to the incredibly popular Yamaha Exciter or Nouvo’s. That said, this Southeast Asian country isn’t just small bikes with four people and a dog on them (though that’s not uncommon). Vietnam has nearly every motorcycle brand available to the rest of the world. BMW, Triumph, Ducati, Royal Enfield, KTM are all here and we’ve selected an assortment to add to our fleet of Big Bike Rentals

Riding Modes
The R1200GS comes with the Dynamic package ie .. 5 riding modes , dual Brembo on the front and one on the rear with the Bosch dual braking system in emergencies. It has the Auto Electronic suspension control (ESA) , ABS + Cornering ABS and the Dynamic Traction Control ( DTC). What this means, unless you’re on Dynamic Pro & Enduro Pro modes, the Computer intervenes in your braking controlling automatically the ESA ( suspension) + ABS + DTC and it even has the ASC- automatic stabilisation control to make you upright and come to a stop in the unfortunate event of an emergency brake or braking hard in the corners.
The ESA & DTC adjusts automatically reading numerous sensors such as lean angle , brake pressure , speed , pitch and throttle control and adjusts the dual braking system automatically ( you do not need to use your rear brake ) and braking is with one finger. Brake Heavily unto a turn , it automatically increases damping on the front and traction control and when you accelerate , it increase the damping on the rear + the DTC so you can’t even skid if you wanted to. This is on Road + Dynamic mode.
If you are on Rain mode , all these sensors becomes super sensitive and computer intervention is a lot more.
Dynamic Pro + Enduro Pro , all these interventions are switched off.
