I'd drive on small roads in rural areas anyway and would avoid all major cities. If policemen stop me I'd just act stupid (which comes naturally to me) and pay them a small fee. I read several stories of people who tried that and got away with it. Obviously the reports are heavily biased towards success because nobody would post his "I lost my bike and spent two weeks in prison" story to get the inevitable "I told you so".

Doing it on the cheap could work out "the expensive way"
It can be done, but I feel thee is too much risk.
You can lose your bike, and get thrown in the slammer for up to 15 days, and a 2000 RNB fine, about US$350.
I think best to join a group, and stay with the group while in China.
Find a group that is planning similar to what your planning, and adjust and change to suit.
You really don't want to be going off on your own.
Motorbikes are not allowed on Chinese motorways, even the big bikes must not use them.
