I know alot about bike mechanics and would not mind aharing the adventure. Cheers!

Hey Bart!
I just bought the Long March in black with the orange/red gas tank. It looks AMMMMMMAAAAAAAAZING!!! I had to leave it in Dali (which is where I bought it) and paid 11,800 which includes the cost of registering the bike, insurance, and tax.

The reason I left it there is because at the end of the bike registration and licensing process the police, who assured me that my current visa/passport was OK to get the above, but the end my 1 month tourist (L) visa was not ok and I need to go to HK to buy a 6 month business visa. With ANY 3 month visa you can get a drivers license and with any 6 month visa you can register the motorcycle in your name. This is all information I've gathered from my experience, and just to confirm, I don't have my drivers license or motorcycle registration yet! I've done all the paper work and testing for them but the only thing stopping me is my short visa.

:D
