Steep gradients and genuinely broken tarmac. A 125 is the minimum — avoid 110cc entirely.

Surface damage and steep pitches. A 110cc will struggle where a 125 will not.
Both are within a comfortable ride of Nusa Penida. Sixty kilometres or more each way asks for a bigger bike than the local runs.
The monthly rate works out at 92,000 IDR a day instead of 135,000, a 32% difference, with servicing and a swap included.

Honda Beat, Vario 110. Easiest to park and the cheapest to run.
Vario 125, Scoopy. The default choice: enough for hills, still light in traffic.
PCX 160, NMAX. Big seat, real suspension, room for two and luggage.
XSR155, CB150R. Manual gearbox, for riders with real experience.

Free and informal at every viewpoint and beach.
A handful of stations near the harbour; elsewhere bottled fuel from roadside kiosks only. Carry a reserve on long loops.
