How to Buy a Motorcycle in China

Due to low prices, the demand for Chinese motorcycles has been on the rise in recent years. Whether you are living in China, or wish to buy a motorcycle for export, a Chinese-made motorcycle will likely save you money. Although purchasing a motorcycle is not complicated, it is important to abide by Chinese laws and regulations regarding the ownership and use of vehicles.

Instructions

    1

    Obtain a motorcycle driving license from the local public security bureau if you plan to use your motorcycle in China. You will need a 'D' license, which may cost up to 300 RMB (about US $50 in 2010). They will need to see your passport, visa, your existing driving license (translated), and a copy of a recent health check.

    2

    Purchase a motorcycle. If you are buying a new motorcycle, there are many dealerships that cater to different motorcycle brands, and used motorcycles may be found in classifieds in local newspapers and magazines as well as on-line. If your Chinese language skills are limited, there are many on-line expat communities in China that have classified ads in English.

    3

    Obtain a license plate in order to register your motorcycle. Due to lower demand, the price of a Chinese motorcycle licence plate is not as high as it is for cars. However, depending on the area, license plates are 'auctioned' by the local government. The price of a license plate will thus vary region to region.
