There are nice legal japanese bikes available in thailand also vintage ones with plates much better than here - i'm looking for a back door to get a decent bike in to ride😢

The JH600 is too big for me, i'm a short light guy and used to an agile bike of 100kg with 60 horses(2 stroke yeah!!!), i could do with an xr250 or xr650 but it seems there are only illegal ones here, might just get one and drive it around in a van and just go off the road when there is a chance

You cannot import a used/second hand bike legally (not referring to illegal or smuggling activities). Period. Any bike must be new. You have to use an agent. Sure you could TRY to do the import yourself, but from first hand experience, you won't get far. Taxes and everything else added to import a NEW bike from Thailand (ASEAN) is about 30-40% of the gazetted MSRP and decreasing on a sliding scale as part of a ASEAN agreement. No matter if one was to present a fapiao/invoice for any lesser MSRP amount to attempt to lessen the tax/duties obligation forget it, all bikes approved are in the Tax database. Then there is the whole other issue concerning getting an authorisation letter from your 'work unit' (soc!al!st/c0mmun!st - remember) which approves one to import the vehicle. This is where the agent can be worth the lofty amount charged for their services.

Then there is the whole issue concerning 'CCC' and 'ccc' certification.
Also the bike has to be landed in the country a certain way. You can't just expect to ride the bike through a land border. It don't work that way. Before anything, one has to get the 'approval letter for importation' from Customs first! Customs will designate the port of landing, not you - again the agent helps here. Few ports have the authorisation to handle vehicle import/export.

FWIW, the simple/easy tasks/things are complicated/difficult, while the complicated/difficult tasks/things are simple/easy! - author: me.

True but it must be said, not one customs officer ever got of his chair and walked outside to look at the bike. As long as it came from China it can return. So one bike enters and one bike leaves.

Not that anyone would want to pull a fast one over the powers that be in any country.

Timings everything. Looks like you did just fine on your trip with the bike you had though!

All, I understand that getting second hand Japanese bikes into China is difficult but as the OP, I was kind of hoping my thread here would simply help me to sell a legal Jialing JH600B with Nanjing A plates.

Hi Texas Aggie is the 600 still for sale?

**TexasAggie** · 10-14-2015, 05:21 PM

Zhu, yes it is still for sale. I will send you a PM.

**TexasAggie** · 10-14-2015, 05:33 PM

My box was full, I deleted a bunch of old files. Try again or use my personal email I PM'd you.

I would just like to point out that earlier this year I attended the Xishuangbanna JH 600 maintenance course specializing in fuel injection firmware tuning.
So I am totally qualified to own one of these.

And yes those are Kevlar safety jandals.
