If you have a Khmer friend with some knowledge of motos have them go with to do the wheeling and dealing. Take your time and look around there are plenty of options.

My preference is for a Honda Airblade, excellent for in town and 2-3 hour journeys. There is a place near Olympic Stadium where you can buy second hand scooters/motorbikes, its helpful if you have a local with you, bargain like hell. I got mine for $550 when they were asking $650, I just put the money on the table and said $550 is all I have, Sold!
