motorcycle rent

Has anyone booked a motorcycle with driver in Northern Vietnam lately? I have read prices have gone up these last years but would like to know to what extent. Thanks.

with the amount of motorbikes for sale in Vietnam, from backpackers finished with thier trip, you should be able to buy a decent bike for a few hundred bucks.
Why bother with renting?
I find it hard to believe that all these backpacker bikes are being sold before the owner has to leave the country. It shouldnt be too hard to find a desperado who will settle for $100 rather than leave the bike on the streets and get nothing.
just a thought.
good luck.

Many people bought a cheap Chinese copy of a Honda Win. If you want a driver, his salary and bike cost around 30-50$US/day or even more depending on his riding skills, language and communication ability and type of his bike. Please also note he's not a guide. Most of these drivers can be hired from rental shops in Hanoi.
