A wave of high-powered motorcycles has arrived in Vietnam, with many models costing more than cars.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - The Vietnam Motor Show (VMS 2024) marks the return of many motorcycle and scooter brands, attracting the attention of a large number of speed enthusiasts.

Despite the absence of many luxury car brands, the Vietnam Motor Show (VMS) 2024 still offered many interesting features, attracting a large number of visitors. Besides a series of new products launched within the framework of the exhibition, this year's event also impressed with the participation of numerous motorcycle brands. A total of eight two-wheeler brands appeared at VMS 2024, including: Honda, Yamaha, SYM, UM Motorcycles, Harley-Davidson, Triumph, KTM, and Husqvarna. This number represents a significant increase compared to previous exhibitions, in the context of the increasingly diverse motorcycle market in Vietnam.

Yamaha's booth was the largest among all two-wheeled vehicle brands at VMS 2024, and it was located in the center of the main area (Hall A). With the theme "Future to the Max," the Japanese manufacturer brought a large number of vehicles across all segments, from scooters to large-displacement motorcycles, electric vehicles , and concept cars. The Maxi Series accounted for the largest number of these. Yamaha also unveiled two concept models at VMS 2024: Motoroid and Elove, which feature self-recognition of their owners, the ability to transform, and autonomous driving and self-balancing without requiring throttle operation. In addition, the Japanese manufacturer introduced a new Maxi line at the exhibition, including models such as TMAX, NMAX, XMAX 300, NVX, and LEXi 155 VVA ABS.

Following Yamaha, Honda Vietnam 's motorcycle and scooter display area was also relatively large. The Japanese automaker attracted attention by bringing its entire product range to VMS 2024, and also took the opportunity to introduce two new electric motorcycle models, the CUV e: and ICON e:. Honda's large-displacement motorcycle display booth was located between the car and motorcycle booths. Here, several models stood out, such as the sportbike and naked bike pair CBR650R and CB650R with the new E-Clutch technology, and the NX500 adventure model for those who love touring.

The centerpiece of Honda's motorcycle lineup at VMS 2024 is the 2024 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP sportbike. Priced at 1.051 billion VND, it's close to the price of a D-segment SUV like the Ford Everest (starting at 1.099 billion VND). The new version features electronic throttle technology, an upgraded high-performance Brembo braking system, and the world's first Ohlins Smart Electronic Control suspension system. The engine also boasts improved power and torque in the mid-range RPMs.
