Dear Shuben,
Congratulations on taking the plunge with the X5. This would be a great time to retire this thread, since the bike is no longer "rummored" (or rumored), and give the X5 a properly named thread. How about "The Shineray X5 is here!"
As we move into spring, lots of folks are keen to hear your experience with the X5 (including your drag race with Barry). More pix please!
thanks, and cheers!
I will check whether I find time this weekend to take the bike home.
Then i open up a new thread and put some photos on.
Hi ShuBen,
congrats also from my side... Wow 42k for Jing A... :mwink: ... I face the same here in SH, though Hu A is not affordable.... 120k+ btw. has anybody lately experience with getting a Hu A or Hu C plate in Shanghai.
Here the facts I've been told and like to verify:
1. If I want to register a motorbike in my own name (as laowei) it must be Hu A or Hu C
2. If I want to buy a plate I need a temporary residence permit from the district which is considered as Hu A/C area, i.e. if I live in Jing An I can not buy Hu C but Hu A
3. The temp. residence permit need to show my Chinese name, i.e. the same as in my driver license.. Otherwise I can not buy
4. The police station which issue the temp. residence permit can "add" my Chinese name to my existing temp. residence permit when I show them my driver license
Thx and best....
P.s. ... And of course the world would be perfect if the friendly customer oriented lady from the police station would agree to all above.... but well... Let me put it this way.... I left with a smile... but without what I wanted...
1. This is correct. Hu A or Hu C
2. This is also correct. Hu C can be legally purchased if you live outside of the A20
3. This is correct too, the temp residency permit must shown your Chinese name.
4. This to is correct, they will usually just write your Chinese name on the temp permit and then stamp it
If you had all of the above then what was the problem? I remember being in and out of there within 5 minutes.
new attempt, new officer and done in 5 min.... :icon10:
I heard today also interesting news about Hu C in Shanghai... I was thinking that with Hu C you are not allowed to drive on any road in the inner ring, but apparently a chinese driver told me today that this is only true fro certain roads like Yan An or Zhaojiabang.... does anybody have details/facts... ?
