Today was a nice slow start before heading to meet Long at his hostel for 3pm.
He showed me a modded Honda Win bike which was $350, which had a good size petrol tank, and looked to be in good condition. It did meet all my requirements for the bike, but it was slightly over my budget. I explained that I was really looking to spend around $250 on the bike, and Long agreed that there was one bike he was sorting out just now that he could sell to me for that price.
He agreed also that he would help me get used to riding the bike, and assured me there was a good place to practicing driving where I could get used to starting off and changing the gears.
