Motorcycles

HONDA Custom Four are simple and reliable motorcycles - just what is needed in this part of the world. They have a single cylinder, four stroke engine with six gears and electric start. They have enough horses galloping to compare with Enfield Bullets. Only that these are modern concept bikes with tubeless tires, alloy wheels, front and rear disc brakes and crash bars. Motorcycles will handle well on dirt roads of Cambodia being light and responsive, and having a long wheelbase they will give you a comfortable ride on Thai highways. They are very economical at less than 3l/100 km (100mpg) and "rider friendly", therefore particularly popular among older riders and ladies. We supply open face helmets, light gloves and cushion for pillion, but if you are more comfortable with your own - bring them along. Since you will pack your clothes into panniers we supply PVC bags (dust protection)

Luggage

Each motorcycle is fitted with detachable and lockable GIVI panniers. Two side 33 litre and one 29 litre top pannier for two persons or two side 33 litre panniers for single rider, provide enough luggage space during the tour. We do not use support vehicle on our tours as it takes away the adventure spirit from motorcycle touring. Your suitcases and any items not needed on the tour, remain deposited in the hotel where you will spend your first and last nights .We shall assist you to parcel and post any shopping during the tour to the base hotel.

Insurance

Our motorcycles are governed by bylaws of the GENERAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION OF THAILAND. The third party liability insurance has a limited ceiling. The property damage ceiling is Baht 3 million. There is no other insurance coverage included or implied. For the motorcycle itself , there is CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) included in the cost of the tour.

Clients' comments

* "Bikes were excellent, ideal size for the tour. Couldn't fault anything at all, thoroughly enjoyed it." wrote TRIUMPH bike owner.

 * "You do not need the latest plastic bullet and stupid grin on your face to enjoy motorcycle touring. Honda bikes were very rider friendly. Great touring holiday" said BMW rider.

* "One last comment; the Honda bikes BJ uses are perfect for Thailand. We often cruised at 100-110 kph, and the bike still had the fire for passing.  Bottom line: without hesitation, I strongly recommend BJ and Avalon" commented the rider from USA

*"The bikes were great machines cruised at 105-115kph no problem very economical- enough grunt to carry me the missus and 3 panniers up the mountains and down. And so long as the tyre pressures are set for the weight of two people and 3 panniers then they handled like a dream" wrote one of  senior riders.

We had several HARLEY and PAN-EUROPEAN riders on our tours and all agreed that bikes were a good choice for the tour. To add more comfort you can bring your air or gel pad with you.
