Carnets in Europe?
 

Do I need a carnet for Europe with a Hong Kong registered bike? Please let me know

No. No bike or car needs a Carnet for the EU countries of Europe.

Carnets for which countries
 

As Dave replied already: no carnet necessary for Europe. Click on the following link to show you the countries that expect carnets: http://www.adac.de/images/L%C3%A4nde...tcm8-80801.pdf

Unfortunately only in German, but if you scroll down the states are marked YELLOW which require a carnet. For the GREEN countries a carnet basically isn't necessary, but simplifies temporary imports.

What do the WHITE countries signify?

Somewhere in this forum I read that no carnet card required in any south american or central american country. can anyone clarify this?

White countries

The white countries do NOT require a carnet.
