30 million VND – a record and somewhat absurd amount of money for a motorbike, and that is true with the Honda SH350i 2021 model
Officially launching the locally assembled Honda SH350i 2021, Honda Vietnam creates a small fever for customers who love this high-end scooter model. Honda Vietnam offers 2 versions, with the announced selling price of 145.99 million VND for the high-end version and 147.99 million VND for the sport version, respectively.
Honda SH has always been a “hot” model, trendy, a symbol of style, with many models. Currently, the selling price for Honda SH 125i 2021 is about 79 million VND, SH 150i 2021 is priced at 88 million (CBS brake) and 95 million (ABS brake).


SH players have always wanted a more advanced, stronger version, and previously the SH 300i was priced at 279 million VND, because it was an imported car. Therefore, the fact that the Honda SH 350i is assembled in the country and has a selling price of about 145 million has created a small fever because the price is said to be “more comfortable”.
Honda Vietnam launched the car and announced that the car will be officially sold at the end of September. Customers can also deposit to buy a car right now, the deposit is 5 to 10 million. Right after the announcement date, the deposit bills to buy SH 350i 2021 were discussed on Facebook, in forums, and SH car player pages. The difference when buying a car is up to… 30 million VND, an absurd amount for a motorbike. Some customers in the South cost a difference of 30 million, and a customer in Hanoi received a “discount” that only cost a difference of … 20 million.


So with a price of about 145 million with 30 million difference, what does SH 350i have?
Listen to the reviews of members who are passionate about SH, knowledgeable about this high-end scooter line to get a picture from the panorama to the details.
On the SH playing forum, a member wrote:
“Have any of you seen the introduction of Honda Vietnam’s SH350i? I finished watching the introduction and then read the parameters, it was ok. I saw that this version upgraded the engine to 350i, I’m sure it will run happily. And yet, it is a scooter that has a torque control system so it is both luxurious and powerful.This model is equipped with a new eSP+ engine, so if you run on the road, it is definitely quieter, “smoother”. 2 channel ABS already on other SH series is out of the table.In terms of design, I am impressed with the new full LCD watch face for easy viewing on the road, chrome plated around for a modern look. immediately and always. This model is genuine production in Vietnam, so the price is better than the private imported line. I think it’s worth buying after the epidemic.”

The biggest difficulty comes from going SH 350i that requires an A2 driver’s license, another member commented:
“Some of you who bought the SH150i don’t regret it when the SH350i came out for 146 million. Firstly, the SH350i is a 330 cc car, requires A2 license. If you don’t have a license, you have to take the exam, much harder than A1. I’m translating, so I can’t take the exam even if I want to.
Secondly, SH350i consumes twice as much fuel as SH150i, 4 liters for 100km compared to 2 liters for 100km.
Third, SH350i is bigger and heavier than SH150i, 172 kg compared to 134 kg, nearly 30 kg heavier is a big problem.
Fourth, the maxspeed (maximum speed) of the two cars is certainly not much different.
Fifth, the maintenance cost of SH350i will definitely be much higher than SH150i. A typical example is an oil change, SH150i only needs 0.8 liters. And SH350i needs up to 1.5 liters. Generally two cars for two different customer segments, different purposes of use. SH150i hits customers who like luxury scooters, moving in the inner city. SH350i focuses on high-income customers who want to travel far by scooter. So you should not be too confused between the two models. Just choose according to your needs.”
Although there are many different opinions, the SH 350i with such a price is quite popular with customers who love this model. However, the motto “Always for you” of Honda Vietnam always comes with the promotion program “buy a car with a difference” that makes customers feel uncomfortable. Those who like to have a “hot” car model early are ready to spend a small amount of money, and most will not buy it. Some Honda models after the first time have money difference, they also sell at a discount compared to the listed price, even some models like Honda Winners X hand-held clutches have continuously decreased, deeply reduced.
