awesome, thanks everyone for the replies. You mention Qili Motors and Dadihengtang, has anyone had experience with Beijing Riders? The name seems to come up on these forums a lot so I assume they'd be alright too?

Sabine, i'm a bit unclear on the process you're talking about. I live in a "no motorcycle zone" so you're saying I can register it in the neighboring county, and then transfer it back to the district I live in and put plates on it?
