Re: Yamaha XTZ125 for sale
Hello NZbrakelathes.
I wasn't aware that bike were banned from Huizhou. I spoke to my wife about this and she told me one of he friends bought a Honda last week and it has already been registered.
Maybe you know something more about this, please explain.

I passed the technical inspection for my Yamaha a month ago, and got new insurance about 2 weeks ago. I have not had any problems at all.
Maybe motorbikes have been banned in Huizhou city centre, I'll check up on that. Where I live life continues as normal.
Just thinking about it, if something had changed my Chinese riding mates would have told me.
Re: Yamaha XTZ125 for sale
There are only 2 things on my bike that are different form the photo of the registration documents :- hand guards and lower fork protectors. Both can be removed in 5 minutes. I did this when the bike recently got tested. No problem at all. I thought I might have a problem with the knobbly tyres but they did not mention anything at all.
The bike is registered in my sister in law's name as for some reason the local Yamaha dealer couldn't register in a foreigner's name in Huizhou, at the time I asked about this in other cities in Guangdong and I got the same reply.
Now that we have cleared up some of the legalities about my bike, anybody interested ? I would prefer to sell as the other option is to give to my father in law to use.

I would if I could but when I bought this Yamaha in Guangdong it was impossible to register in a foreigner's name. I wanted to register in my wife's name but couldn't do that as well as she already had a bike registered in her name. So next best option was to use one of my Chinese family as the owner of the bike, so I used my sister in law's name. All quite ridiculous.
Same happened with my Motorbike driving license, I couldn't do the test in Guangdong so I went to Haikou to do it instead.
Why China makes it so difficult to be legal I can never understand, it just wastes time, money and does not reduce the number of illegal riders on the roads.
