Has anyone done or do they know how easy or hard or what the procedure is to Tax and Register an older second hand cheap Vietnamese Honda Win bike in Cambodia?
Can it be done and what would be the cost?
thanks

Registering and Taxing a Viet registered bike
As far as I can tell, take the blue book to the transport office, have proof of purchase/ownership, pay their tax they determine on it.
You might get caught up in red tape though, however for me, I brought a Honda Neo over from VN and it was $160 something. My family did the registering though, not me. I think it would have been $250 if it was under my name, barang reg is a lot more than Khmer reg.

Note to self: Must be nice to morons.
Not so sure about this blue book. I have bought a bike in VN and the rego is a card the same sort of thing that you have in Cambodia. Whenever riding someone else s moto a long way from home they have given me their rego card. Just having it is like proof of ownership the same as in Cambodia. Registering old bikes without tax papers already in the country is a whole lot harder than it used to be. There must be a way to get legal but not sure where it is done now.

^^Yes, just that it's not always straightforward. There's loads of Honda MSXs so Thai imports are definitely doable, in fact most of the bikes here are Thai imports (Suzukis and Yamahas that is).

When I was inquiring about such a thing from Vietnam, I found out it was $300 tax on an oldish Honda wave plus $30 to register it with new plates. Never did it though.
Am I right in thinking a new Honda Wave 100 is around 13-1500 $ in Cambodia?
I'm curious to see what this thread brings up.

$1080, but they Wave 100 is built in Cambodia.
Going by the Viet built Yamaha Sirius though (which is $740 in VN), I'd assume $250 to $300 is a safe bet for a newer bike, seems how they are a tad over $1100 here.
Same for the Revo 110. $745 in VN, $1100-1200 here.

Interesting,. Do the Khmers prefer the Cambodian made bikes or the Vietnamese ones the best. (Joking aside )AE86 wrote:$1080, but they Wave 100 is built in Cambodia.

Sorry for a late reply, but in my limited experience, I think it's half and half. A lot of Khmer don't like Vietnamese in general, but I do know of several people who have gone to Vietnam on a vacation, bought a bike and imported it back to Cambodia because "they are better."
Also, misc info, the tax on my SL230 was $261. It's an 02.

I was told by someone who should know that the tax on a new moto (not sure what size limit) from Vietnam is $400 and from Thailand $600. I have not verified this info, however.
Thanks for the info. What is the SL230 like as a bike? What sort of price is a well kept second-hand one?AE86 wrote:Sorry for a late reply, but in my limited experience, I think it's half and half.

I personally like it for "cruising" Cambodia and rural trips because of it's low seat height (30.7 inches I believe) and relatively soft suspension setup. It really soaks up potholes and such compared to a regular moto, but as a daily rider you might find the clutch a little tiresome. Powerwise, I find it a bit slow for my liking, but it does have 20 bhp (double most 125s), but weight wise it's great though, same weight as my old black Dream 125. In all, I think it's actually a good compromise between something like a "hardcore" CRF/XR, and a CB/FTR style bike.
Mine was $2400 (after haggling down $120, 42,000 km...actual km, not rolled back like so many bikes here), and it was in fair shape (5/10 condition). I still replaced the clutch (the whole damn thing, cable, bearings, plates, etc), chain and sprockets, went through the carb, brakes (discs and pads, servos, etc), and rewired the already bodged headlamp switch (Khmer like to cut the high beam so you can "turn off" the light when you flick the high beam on), etc etc., so at least a day's worth of work in a shop to get it where I wanted it. There was another to be had at $2800 (after haggling down $125) but no less kms, the only difference was that it was white and looked a little shinier.
In all, I'd say...
$1,200-2,000 used in Cambodia some amount of time, buy at your own risk.
$1,900-2,300 fresh import from Japan, likely has mechanical issues (like mine needed a clutch, carb jets, brakes, etc, but was mostly original and clean).
$2,400-3,000 fresh import from Japan, probably is okay for the most part, just needs minor servicing.
$2,600-3,300 fresh import...probably restickered, wound back, parts swiped, and spray painted some to make it look nicer. I've seen quite a few FTRs at places that were this way, despite being imported as original bikes. Made me a little sad.
