Anyone know of a price range?

New bikes cost from about USD1.5k and up. ranging from Yamaha Nouvo to SH300i( This SH cost USD11K)
In terms of storage, the Honda SCR 110 has the best I have seen so far. Last checked was about USD$2.5k
A bike that really suits ladies is the SYM Attila Elizabeth. Very very popular with the ladies and last checked the price was just over USD$2k. Storage space I not very sure.
Advice, if you and you wife know nothing about motorbikes, please buy NEW, dont buy 2nd hand unless you totally trust the seller.

You can depend upon their security -- when you pick up the bike at the end of one month's time, any parts inside the bike that were of value will have been replaced by junk knockoff parts. By 'security' then, they seem to mean that you can be secure in the thought that you'll be ripped off.

This is a heads-up to all you who ride bikes here in HCMC without license. Govt is cracking down and cracking down hard on illegal riders. They even have specially trained english speaking Traffic cops if the offender is a foreignor.
Of course that is not to say that you cant "pay" your way out of it just that the it might take a bit more Uncle Ho's than usual.
