Just for your information. Sjaak Verwaayen (he has a website, just gogle his name), the Dutch guy who travelled across the globe on a Yamaha R1, crossed also China but did it without a guide. He put his bike on the train for the border of China, got off the train in China, travelled around and got on the train again and left the country. His experience is that the people and authorities in the small villages in China don't know the rules about foreigners travelling around.
Maybe it's a risk may'be it isn't, fact is that he did it like this and it saved him a lot of money.
