How are the prices on bikes in Malaysia compared to for example Thailand?

The price of Malay bikes is higher than Thailand, there are certain models that arent available to the Malaysian market.
Someone mentioned throwing some to get a Malay bike registerd, not too much, just like $20 and a passport is sufficient, you can get a Carnet in Malaysia.
I have seen a lot of pictures of Malay scooters in China on fb and instagram, at the moment, its riding season here - I don't know if they are guided or what but they seem to have found a way if not.
I don't know .. really, there is no answer, if you pick up a malay bike, you are limited to 30 days x2 in Thailand (i think thats what its stands up at the moment, my head hurts trying to keep up) you get 30 days in Laos in one hit (?), unlimited in Cambodia, but your not legal, VN is expensive, Myanmar is expensive.
I really think, the best way to do it, get some Moskomoto reckless panniers and just rent or buy some old bike, ride it and return / dump it and move on, SE Asia isn't the place to be messing about at the moment and all i hear is people wanting to travel "on their own bike" cheaply, easily or quickly (or all)- forget it.
