Sure a lot of people have stopped by HK on a RTW motorbike trip. If the bike is there on a temporary basis then there is very little issue. It is when you want it to be permanantly there then there is a big issue.
As said a couple of guys on Yamaha TTR600s (1970s tech!) arrived in HK around 2007. They were Brits with international driving permits
A couple of Germans on XT600E did exactly the same by travelled through China. They were my inspiration for my own motorbike ride. They went through CHina because Korea (my own route) was not open to them. Germany never signed the international driving permit convention.
The thing about China is that it is like Russia. If you get past the border you're scott free.
In that the police tend to think well if you've made it past the border then obviously you have permission to ride it here.
They key word is temporary!
And tbh i think HK has some hang over from British rule. British MOT (maintenance of traffic test) is extremely lax for motorbikes. Emissions for example are not tested, nor is noise or modifications. Thus I can ride my race system on the road no issue. Go to TST on Hanoi road near JSL mansion there is a motorbike park. The park is filled with shitter motorbikes. CB250s with carbs. CB400s CB1s, NC30s and SR250s, pieces of crap. If THEY can be legally ridden..... | |
