i wouldn't trust buying a harley off of any motor cycle shops in tianjin area , unless you want half harley & half japanese bike , remember this is china... there is a harley shop in beijing , lots of bikes there . not sure if you can buy used ones there or not . you can find address & phone number under harley davidson china web site . it is somewhere near 3rd or 4th ring road at air port side of beijing

For a classy bike get a ChangJiang 750 sidecar.

Quality is good. Most are ex-Japan that fell of the back of a truck ;-). But don't waste your money you can't ride them anywhere in TJ as the cops will pull you over and ask for a 200RMB donation to....

If you're going to get something in Tianjin, the police don't seem to mind the small mopeds. It also seems that one kind is now allowed, (the ones with the pedals), because there are markets inside the city selling them now. Some of the newer ones are quite quiet and conceal the exhaust pipe, so it looks almost exactly like an electric bike, as well.

At Tanggu you can get assembled branded bikes i.e. a Kawasaki Ninja assembled from original parts at Tanggu (Kawasaki Ninja costs 20k-25k on average).
But you wont be able to get the driving license or the registration plate.

I usually go to the market down in tangu every month sometimes more. You dont see too many harleys down there but when you do they are usually top bikes. I've seen custom fat boys for around 100k and stock dynas and softails for about 80k. As far as paperwork goes you can buy anything. Paperwork, registration and such can be bought, will work in china but probably won't be able to export. A special liscense plate can be bought, i think it cost around 30k, that plate allows you to drive anywhere in china, and the road tax on a 1000cc or higher bike is around 10k per year.
If you want a drivers liscense you have to be registered as living in a place where motorcycles are legal, pretty much anywhere outside the thrid ring road of tianjin, and i think some areas in beijing are still ok.
I ride a vfr400 here in tianjin, if you are careful and know what roads and what times to ride on them the police won't give you trouble, riding without a helmet helps, when they see a laowai they don't seem to care.
As far as buying a "motorcycle" with pedals....... well i won't even go there, its a disgrace!

Like i said before, the papers would be good for china but not too sure about in your home country.
The only bike i've ever known anyone to bring back to their home country was one of the old Chang Jiang 750 military bikes. But thats a legal chinese motorcycle.
Cheers
