    I've got a rough plan to try and acquire a cheap bike in Nanning then travel to/around Kunming, starting mid-August.

    Anyone got similar plans and want a travelling companion for a few days/weeks?

    I'd also be interested about anyone with leads on places to grab a second hand bike where a stupid foreign devil that doesn't speak a word of Mandarin isn't going to be robbed blind?

    NO new m/c plate in NN city proper. That plate's market price worth at least a new bike

    1. The cheaper "counties" plate is NOT legal in NN city proper, BUT nobody cares in "normal" days

    2 Ride un-plated,
    NEW:
    Genric CG125 clone -made in Guandong is ~3xxx
    COLLECT ALL document 发票(FaPiao / VAT Invoice) 合格证 (Motorbike related documents)
    http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/showthread.php?1892 & Police usually don't bother NEW bike that not registred yet.
    Used
    Collect ALL documents & make sure it's 100% govt inspected & insured . Resale value for expire 10+ Years / Un-inspected vehicle is very LOW. ONLY M/c reapir shop would buy these s***

    Thank you very much Human. ~3000RMB for a new bike would be OK. Has anyone here travelled much on an un-plated bike? It sounds like asking for trouble to me.

    I will only be here for a short time and only have a tourist visa so registering a bike is not an option - that's why I asked about used bikes that would have a plate and papers already. Still far from completely legal I know...
