Cambodia plates on a Vietnamese motorbike

[lagrange]

I know foreigners are not allowed to register a second hand motorbike in their name, but what if someone rode a bike over from Vietnam and got a Khmer to get Cambodia plates on it - that would work, right? (asking for a friend).

illegal way, big problem if stopped

Yes

But technically and legally, the bike would be in your friend's name. He or she would have to be a very good and honest friend.

Yup thats right. You are not in Kansas anymore Dorothy.

Just ride it. You'll probably be fine. If you can't afford the slight possibility of it getting impounded, get a Cambodian moto. If you look into it, I think you'll find that many people are also just riding those around with the original Khmer owner's info attached to them. That's a common thing here. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you're in Phnom Penh and people there say it's a problem.

*Could have continued this in your last thread on the same topic. : )

I brought mine over from Vietnam about a year ago, and rode it quite a lot in Phnom Penh over the course of four months or so, in particular from the Russian Market area to the Riverside. Never stopped.

Will cost way way more than the bike is worth in import duty,Plus all the hassle.
