As far as I know, registration is allowed whether the registrant has a motorcycle endorsement or not. Two separate issues. Just be sure you have a legal license and the bike is legally registered (to someone) and insured when you ride.
This does raise another question about insurance: If the rider is not the registered owner, and liability insurance is in the name of the registered owner, is the rider covered in an accident? Do check the fine print.

yes, and please, buy the most expensive insurance policy you could, actually, but more than one from different companies if you can. Chinese law protects idiots on the road and it's your fault if one of them jumps on you while riding...

I registered my Bike with exactly same procedure in Kunming in 2006, the only difference is the number plate charges me only 91 CNY at that time.
I was told by my dealer that they can go through all of these multifarious processes for only 100 CNY, I mean the services fee, of course you have to pay all of the charges. Actually they are not doing it themselves, they had an long-term collaborative agent who's running this business, but I rejected this offer and had everything done in 1 day, even when I wasted 1 hr to run to a wrong Vehicle Registration Office at the beginning.
I want to see the whole procedure with my own eyes that's why I rejected the cost-effective offer. By a lot help from another agent I met in the wrong registration office where I first went to, he told me where to go, how to follow the registry flow, thank him, Nice Guy! BTW, as an agent, he didn't even try to sell his service to me when he gave me those useful advice.
Then I ran back home on my new bike and picked up all necessary documents, went through the totally same work flow as you, when I finally had the number plate installed on my bike, It's only 10 minutes to the Traffic Police's off time.
I sold my bike in 2009 after the registration expired 6 months, in a pity price.
Congrats, Andre, I'm a Yunnaner, although not a Kunminger, but used to live in Kunming for yrs. I'm now planning a motor trip to cross Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan, I don't have a 2-wheel baby currently, that was tough, but i'm going to buy a FZ6N.
Wish you guys have fun on the bikes in China!

Hi Mike,
nice to hear from you.
Hope you got yourself a bike in Africa! Let us see some pictures, there must be astonishing landscape and great areas of nothing...just as we like it.
Give me a shout when you make it back to your hometown.
Greetings from South of the Clouds
Andre

I was just reading the post of Lightend and then Euphonious' reply, and it pretty much applies to my situation. My problem is that I only have a Visa with 5.5 months remaining, so I can't register the bike using my name, also I don't have a permanent residence registration so I think that's another reason I can't use my name. I've been trying to use a friends name but the two people I know both live in cities with motorcycle bans. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that offers a registration/license plate service, much like how some places offer a service where they basically acquire a Chinese license on your behalf.
Or any suggestions on other ways around this problem would really be appreciated.
Also does anyone know if it is possible to register on someone else's name in a city where they don't live? Example, I know someone in Dalian (Chinese local) but the bike I want to buy is in Chongqing.
Thanks in advance
