Thinking about buying or renting a motorcycle in N Thinking about buying or renting a motorcycle in Nicaragua? Here are a few things to know before hitting the road: ๐Ÿ๏ธ Helmets are required by law. ๐Ÿชช Riders need a valid motorcycle license. ๐Ÿ’ต Moto insurance costs approximately $35 USD per year. ๐ŸšฆThe current maximum speed limit for motorcycles is 40 kmph (on highways). Don't let the old speed limit signs fool you. Whether you're zipping around town or venturing beyond the nearby beaches, a motorcycle is a fun and practical way to experience Nicaragua. In fact, if you ask Gordon, he'll tell you it's hands down the best way to see the country. ๐Ÿ˜Ž . . . #InNicaNow #ExpatLiving #HondaNavi #MotorcycleLife #SanJuanDelSur
