Best Automatic Moto

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

They're actually really easy to sell as lots of rich Khmer and Viet like them. Put for sale slightly lower than the median asking price and you'll be set.

Put mine up for sale in the mourning, was gone before lunchtime.
Interesting, the ones I see on FB groups languish forever, maybe they're asking too much. I also very rarely see Khmers diving them, might be different in other cities though.
i see loads of khmers riding them in PP
ive seen a number down here too but not as common
i took one for a test drive before

My second choice would be a Lead 110.

I'm riding around on a 17' Airblade 125 right now (Viet built and plated), and it's a decent bike for what would be $1700 usd in Cambodia.

The PCX I'd steer clear of unless you shell out the money for a nearly new one. I personally did not like mine (2013' 150cc) as it was too low, too heavy, and too big for my liking in Cambodia.

The Airblade and Click are very similar and I believe use the same motor.

NCX bikes are "Made in Cambodia", which means they're assembled from knock down kits (box of parts).

Appreciate the info!

Yep. I'll just add the airblade has two rear spring shocks while the Click only one, and the build quality of airblades (from Vietnam) is questionable whereas Click i believe are mostly Thai made, although the NCX is now available. Airblades are the moto of choice for the majority of foreigners, and the PCX will be a chore to sell it seems.
Why is having one shock vs two a good thing?

I think I've decided on the Click. Ha! Next question, what is the going rate? I'm getting around $1500 for 2016 with no tags. Can I do the tags on my own later?

I dont know much about moto's, and I dont like the idea of having one shocker. But i guess it's like asking, '' why is having 3 hinges on a door better than two'' ? Two work perfectly ok but we are brainwashed into thinking
more is better.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Yup, aware of that option. Didn't know if someone knew of a 3rd party that has good inventory.
