Registering Moto - New Rule

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.

$1500 upwards for a round headlight pre 80’s model.
Last I checked the pre 80's Cubs weren't more than $500-600 a few months ago.

So anyway. $10 fine and now you’ve lost the bike. Good move batman.
Shit happens. Went out for a burger with $5 in my pocket, came home on foot. Live and learn.
There’s hardly any here but back home they reach a premium.

Have you ever seen a pre 1981 round headlight Cub for sale in Cambodia?
Very rare and there’s no market!

I almost bought one to replace my lost scooter. It was $550 and a 70cc.

And I misread your post, I thought you meant Cubs were fetching a premium like $1500 here, not in the West.

Not true in rural Cambodia. Farmers love them as cheap workhorses.

I just contacted the people sited in the original post CNM motors and was told it is ok to drive the moto with the original owners card.

I think it's a politically incorrect term for he/she, but more hethanshe. We don't use those terms in polite society though. We just say "it's complicated."

Does anyone know whether khmers need a big bike licence to buy and register a new or used moto over 125cc? Or, is their ID card sufficient for getting plates and rego card? Any other documentation required?
