Hi there,
not sure how set your plan now are about selling your bike and skipping China but, just so you know, we have a group of overlanders (some bikes, other 4wds) crossing China for 30 days from Kyrg to Laos in Aug.
Also, whilst the initial quote may be inflated (they're dreamin'), crossing with others to share the major costs (guide fee!), 10-strong group can do this for about $2,000 each.
Anyway, if you're still humming about the idea, let me know!
Cheers
Laura
