Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
Royal Enfield released a new model end of last year in India called the Meteor 350.
I read somewhere it's a replacement for the Thunderbird 350 but was renamed due to copyright issues.
I think this could a good one for Cambodia. 350 would be good size for both city and longer trips imo. I like the look of it too coz it doesn't look so 'vintage' like the Classic 500 and the engine has a balancer shaft to smooth out the single's vibrations.
I messaged RE Cambodia to ask if and when they might bring it here.. but so far no answer. Having said that, I read there's currently a waiting list for this in India up to 6 months so it's very popular apparently. The Himalayan goes here for nearly $4900, so I presume the Meteor would come in under that..

Is this currently still the case? These Indian bikes including Bajaj seem to have come a long way in terms of quality control from what I've read? But interested to know if that's not the case..

Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
I'd take an old bullet over a new Enfield any day. Also, I have known people in the US who bought the new models (Himalayan, in particular) who were plagued with reliability issues as well as mechanical troubles that a modern bike shouldn't haveclutchcargo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 7:09 pm ^^^

Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
Simple: there's an existing topic for RE news.. but I know you just luurve to start your own personal topics despite that.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 8:14 pm why did you move my post?

And, your topic title 'Big Bike riders ATTENTION' is misleading as it has little to do with the content and is click bait.
Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
The new bikes and the old bikes are completely different animals, from changing the shift lever from (wrong) right side, to left, to a new transmission and engine, the name is the the same, everything else is different.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 8:14 pm why did you move my post?

I had a friend who bought one of the “new ones” a few years ago, @ about $6k us, it was a POS, and endless trouble. Japanese tech from the 70’s, with build quality from my mentally disabled cousin.
I actually met, discussed, and rode with some of the Bajaj people a few years after that, they’re much better now.
up to you...

Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
There are a lot of people who have clocked serious KMs on them, so it's like anything else. Some people get lemons and bad experiences, but most are fine. Plenty of YouTube videos proving their worth. You just have to be realistic given their displacement and cost vs more expensive options.
