I was planning on leaving the bike in Laos or Cambodia and backpack Vietnam or hire another bike as entry is not allowed for any bike not registered there first or something or other. If your route plan changes this way round might bump in to you en-route.
Have fun!

Fantastic getting your post. Never know our paths may cross.
In answer to your question -
I communicated with Ahn (Voyage Vietnam) via email after reading a blog by an English couple who rode their own bikes in Vietnam. Like many others I believed that large bikes were not permitted in Vietnam BUT this is not the case according to the information I have received. Someone from the company apparently meet you at the border (similar to China) and make all the arrangements to get the bike temporarily into the country. Please make contact with the company and check for yourself - double checking assertions is worth the time and effort.
Let me know of your plans as we get closer to the trip.
