…continue with the Traffic Police (XiShan District Traffic Police is here: 25.044533,102.658326)

The lady responsible for the motorbikes remembers the foreigner from last Friday and arranges everything. Very helpful, she guides me through the facilities and introduces me to her colleagues who take over.
Into the office, the discussion about Chinese & Foreign Name rises up again. This time the highest ranked officer just points at me, says, he is foreigner, so registration will be the foreign name, Chinese name for these guys are useless anyhow, basta!
Discussion is over and the bike gets registered in my “real” name.
I choose from a computer the licence plate number 云A..998, take picture with the new license plate, get my green and blue book and done.

Summary:
As long as you are legal with a Residence Permit with remaining 180days in China the registration is no thrill procedure at all.

Total Costs:
1. Taxes for the bike: 1.453
2. Compulsory Insurance: 120 RMB
3. Additional 3rd Party Insurance: 51 RMB
4. Technical Check: 50 RMB
5. Registration & Plates: 131 RMB
Total cost to be legal: 1.805 RMB

Its not too much hassle, and the costs are okay - say 10-15% on the bike price to have it legal. Its worth it and there are not many excuses for 50-250ccm bikes not to go this way.
Play by the rules, you would do it in your home country, so why cut the corners in China, thats stupid and respectless to our hosts.

Item 1 depends on the Fapiao Value of the bike, 10% before VAT
All other items are same same for bikes between 50-250ccm
Have fun guys & girls…
