I think it's worth pointing out that any bike you buy will need improvements for the type of journey you want to make. Most of the trouble people encounter with Chinese bikes is the result of poor preperation and maintenance. Plan on a minimum of 2 days to go through the bikes COMPLETELY. Everything needs to be checked and re-checked before departure. Every bearing needs to be pulled and greased. Take the stock chain and throw it in the trash. Bring the highest quality, most expensive chain you can buy with you. Bring your own chain lube. Don't expect that you will be able to find anything easily. CAN you find things in China, sure, but it can be very frustrating.
hi Gijsbert and other guys
yesterday I spoke to one of the MCM's and he told me it's not possible to get temporary license with D or E category. they will give you only C1, no bikes.
I was told, that temporary driver license for motorcycles is possible to get only through tourist companies, which provide motorcycle tours.
can anyone justify this information?
Prince, what about Doogle who rode China this spring? did he get Chinese DL with E or D?
I am not surprised it handled well. G 310 R would be my choice too, if I would buy a new bike. That or another Jawa 350 Type 640 :)Quote:

Doogle had neither, took his chances with the police and it worked out ok.
My advice is still to obtain a C1 at the airport backing it up with an IDP and if the shit hits the fan then just explain I done my best to abide the Chinese laws, but it's not my fault your stupid system won't allow me to get a C1E.
Better to have than to have nothing.
First great post.Quote:

I did plan to spend ample time improving the bike in term of a more comfortable seat, luggage, telephone holder/charger, etc. But I also with Doogle's experience in mind I will certainly followup on your advise to extend that to the aspects I normally presume to be troublefree.Quote:

I heard the same, but not from a reliable source. A similar rumour was that a temporary DL provided in Beijing would only be valid in the Beijing area. But I don't mind too much. As prince999 pointed out, it is better to have some than no DL at all. And I understand the temporary Chinese DL is only valid with a translated accompanying original DL, which does state the proper categories. At least it will show that I did my best to follow the rules ;-) If things go more or less as planned I will know for sure in March 2018 and I will of course let you know the outcome!Quote:
