Here is a reading list for you. The first is specifically about imports from Thailand.

I have only done a very quick skim of these pages but they do not look optimistic.

Ave yourself a lot of hassle and paperwork, sell it and buy again here.

Thanks guys for help. Yeah I know the best is to just sell it there but I have some free time and a trip on the bike would be nice.
What if I don't want to import the bike but just cross the border, do I get any stamps that say when the bike entered to VN and how many days I have to leave?
Cars and bikes are allowed to enter to Vietnam right?
How is this checked?
Thanks
