A retro trail bike with no clutch to worry about. The Yamaha PG-1 is a 115cc semi-automatic with chunky semi-block tyres, a flat brown seat and a yellow body you can spot from across the street. Rent it in Hoi An if you want a bike that handles the rice-field lanes as well as the tarmac.

- 115cc semi-automatic: you change gear with your toe but there is no clutch lever, so it is easier than a manual with more control than a scooter
- Chunky semi-block tyres: confident on gravel, packed dirt and wet country lanes
- Flat, wide seat: comfortable for two people around town and on country roads
- Light off-road ability: for riders who want to leave the main road without taking on a big dirt bike
Who the Yamaha PG-1 suits
The PG-1 sits between a scooter and a proper dirt bike. Choose it for rice-field lanes, back roads and easy gravel tracks, or simply because you like how it looks. If you have only ridden automatics, we include a short free lesson at pick-up, and most people get the hang of the gears in about five minutes.
It is less suited to long, fast days. On the highway to Hue or a two-up climb over the Hai Van Pass, a 155cc bike such as the Yamaha WR155R is more relaxed. Staying in town? An automatic such as the Honda Vision is cheaper and simpler.

You can leave your luggage at our shop while you ride, so it is easy to set out for the day with just a small bag.

Where to ride the Yamaha PG-1
Distances measured on Google Maps from Hoi An Old Town, one way:
- An Bang Beach — 4.8 km, about 16 minutes via Hai Ba Trung; a good first ride to practise the gears
- Dragon Bridge, Da Nang — 27.2 km, about 46 minutes along the coast road; fine for a day out if you take breaks
- My Son Sanctuary — 38.2 km, about 1 hour 5 minutes via DT610, with quiet country roads along the way; read our My Son by motorbike guide first
Around Hoi An, the small lanes between the rice fields are where the tyres pay off. Lanes can turn to deep mud after heavy rain, so turn back if you cannot see the surface.
