If you can show that you have a foreign drivers license (even just the car) then thats at least something.
I say this because a friend got taken in last week for driving without a license, but the bike was legal and registered and everything. We had some chinese friend's help and we resolved it. But it could have gone very badly. However the police apparenlty kept asking him.. Do you have a chinese license for motorbike? -No. Do you have a Chinese license for Car? - No. Do you have a foreign license at all? -Yes, but not on me.
It's dodgy as hell, and its up to the individual officer on the scene to judge the situation, but at least you know that they can be lenient.
Honestly, Fons' Jialing sounds like a better option. Especially for the longer journeys, a bit more power and it would be better for your height i imagine.
For the license though...again, if you're properly starting from scratch... it will be all in Chinese (for the motorbike at least) I can only speak for Beijing, but you can't do both at the same time. You have to wait 1 year, 1st do the car license, and then do the motorbike one.
The car one can be done in English though...and french and a bunch of other languages. But the motorbike one...nope.
I also had a friend that drove a motorbike only on his Chinese car license, and he never had any problems, even at petrol stations.
But again, its all about the individual situation.
