Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
Personally, I think the Interceptor 650 twin looks really cool.
Sort of reminds me of my Yamaha TX500 in the 70s
Not much has changed?
People on FB group are saying the Himalyan would be the most practical for Cambodia

Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
Personally I like the Continental GT, also giving something to work with, but it is the most expensive model.
But to spend so much money on a moto, personally would give me many doubts, firstly is the cost, servicing and repair. guarantee registered in your own name has owner, also any change in law.

Disagree after watching the video Richard posted, electrical problems.
I remember years ago when Enfield India only made the 350 and 500 Bullet. I rented a 500 and had a ride from Manali, Himachal Pradesh, on the Lah Manali Highway towards Keylong via the Rohtang Pass, memorable times.

Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
Price wise, I think these are well priced compared to Japanese equivalents. But of course they don't have the reputation of Japanese being Indian made albeit I've read Enfield have put a lot of effort on improving the quality control for the 650 twins.
The key issue I have is: can Enfield survive in Cambodia in the longer term? Stallion died. GPX is still going but you hardly see any on the road. What happened to the Kawasaki store in PP? I think they're finished. Aprilia and Ducati have gone by the wayside. Vespa still going but seems like khmers shun them and mainly barangs are buyers and they have lousy resale value.
The other thing is, I see Enfield is going to be a niche market...nothing under 400cc. To my mind, that will restrict the target buyer to mainly barangs and they are not exclusive enough for wealthy khmers to touch them.
Just my opinion. OTOH I hope they make it coz Cambodia could really do with more variety.

Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
All good points clutchcargo. I went to their showroom and looks good. The pricing is equivalent to Europe or the UK. They're not performance machines, and not exactly useful in the city, but the pricing is alright.

Loookin good. Doubt they'll stand up in comparison to the Honda Dream though.

Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
They'll always be a niche market here. They're not exactly versatile bikes, and cost quite a bit (though you get four times the power for double the price of a Scoopy). If you're into cafe racers, then a used CB400is likely cheaper anyways. I'd probably buy one in a few months if the timing was right. My only concern is whether it would be versatile enough as a daily driver (parking etc). Also, I could get a used Japanese bike in very good condition for around the same price point or a bit more, which makes for a more difficult choice.WineOxley wrote:Loookin good.

Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia
I think they are a few years too early for the burgeoning Cambodian middle class.
They like their big bikes but soon realise they are too heavy (180kg bike compared to a 40kg human!) and sell them. Which is why big bikes are pretty cheap here even compared to back home.
I think Enfield are on to something. Have you seen how many locals own bicycles now, some $$$$. It’s the new look at me. Two years ago they wouldn’t be seen dead on one now they are everywhere and more shops opening up.

Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.

This is a good write-up on the Interceptor that clutch favours, and Bitte_Kein_Lexus it may answer some of your questions.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 8:57 amThey'll always be a niche market here.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650: Road Test Review
Key Question: An affordable multi-cylinder motorcycle, and it's a Royal Enfield. Dream come true? Or too good to be true?
Royal Enfield’s most hotly anticipated new motorcycle, the Interceptor, is impossible to ignore. The promise of a 648cc twin-cylinder motorcycle that's sensible and exciting, that too at a starting price tag of Rs 2.50 lakh, ex-showroom, pan-India, is impossible to ignore. Here are some questions that you wanted answers to -- let's see if we can answer them all.
Q1) How has Royal Enfield managed to price it so low?
Ans: Smart choices. And tough choices. As you would have noticed, the RE doesn't boast of hardware like upside-down forks, the engine isn't liquid-cooled, and a 47PS power output means the engine doesn't have to be high-strung or use exotic materials. The spoke wheels skip tubeless functionality to keep costs in check.
But at the same time, let us highlight what you do get: A simple but solid dual-cradle frame, spoke wheels made from light alloy and are wrapped in bespoke Pirelli Phantom Sportcomp tyres, floating 320mm brake disc with dual-channel ABS, chrome-finished handlebar with bolt-on braces, and beautifully finished shocks. It is an admirable balance of ingredients.
