Buying a motorcycle in Stung Treng
Re: Buying a motorcycle in Stung Treng
Here's a link to an article I wrote on buying cheap bikes, to give you an idea. And this bike only lasted 25 minutes before needing repairs.
This was a $490 bike.

Re: Buying a motorcycle in Stung Treng
Very informative
Thanks AE86.....
I had EXACTLY the same bike in Thailand - have been everywhere on the thing - last count was around 100,000 klms - obviously had it since new, always serviced, looked after etc. Still sheltered, at my old man's house.
That second hand thing you kindly shared looks like an absolute PIG of a thing! I would have picked up quite a few of the faults you pointed out and alarm bells would have been raised, I would have equally missed out on other bits and pieces - good refresher!
I was curious as to know how come some second hand bikes can be that cheap - now I know exactly why!
Correct me if I am wrong, a new Honda bike is around $1500-$2000 anyway right??

Decided not to buy one since my expectations didn't match the reality of the situation (as usual), but thank you all so much for the help!

Or buy a bike someone has brought from Vietnam they don't have Cambodian plates or taxes paid and go for real cheap and will be able to use for 7 days
