Yamaha Finn 115
The Yamaha Finn 115 is a practical semi-automatic underbone designed for simple controls, low running costs, and steady manners on mixed city–rural routes. On our motobike rental prices page it represents an easy, budget-friendly choice for travelers who want clutch-free shifting and predictable torque without moving to a full scooter or manual bike. Its 115 cc fuel-injected single delivers calm, usable power for errands, village links, and light two-up rides, while a low seat, narrow waist, and light steering keep the Finn approachable for different rider sizes and experience levels.

Ergonomics favor control and visibility. The upright posture reduces wrist and lower-back fatigue during days that mix Old City traffic with rural connectors to hot springs, caves, or viewpoints. Neutral geometry helps at walking pace through markets and temple lanes, yet the chassis stays composed at 50–70 km/h on ring-road sections. Suspension is basic but compliant enough for patched tarmac and short gravel spurs; braking is predictable and easy to modulate on wet-season surfaces, with engine braking smoothing long, gentle descents common around foothill farmland.
Efficiency is a key advantage for Northern Thailand. The Finn sips fuel, so a small tank comfortably covers multi-stop itineraries without frequent refueling in rural stretches where stations are spaced out. The semi-automatic gearbox pays off on undulating terrain: downshift early before climbs to keep revs in the sweet spot, then short-shift and use progressive rear brake for stable corner exits. Power is modest, so plan overtakes conservatively, keep luggage light, and favor backroads over long highway links.
Practicality is built in for travelers. The flat floor and hook secure a tote; a rear rack accepts a strap-on drybag for rain gear or groceries. Mirrors and lighting are robust for dawn starts and dusk returns. In the countryside you’ll see Finns doing daily duty, which means parts and know-how are available in nearly every town. Minor fixes are quick and inexpensive, reducing trip risk. Check tire pressures before mountain sections, avoid deep ruts after heavy rain, and the bike will deliver calm, predictable progress all day.
