I would not start in Hong Kong for this trip. You'd have to ship the bike from Hong Kong by sea or air, as you cannot cross the border from Hong Kong into mainland China and drive west, unless you have assistance from one of the expensive agencies like Navo. Hong Kong has completely separate immigration and customs from mainland China. Unless a car or truck has a special license plate from China, it cannot cross the border. I have never heard of a motorcycle having such a second license plate (would be awesome!). There is a 35% "First Registration Tax" on new motorcycles in Hong Kong. The motorcycle clubs in Hong Kong do ship their bikes to Southeast Asia for holiday rides, but again, but obviously this is costly. I guess theoretically you could figure out how to transport your motorcycle by truck to the Vietnam border, via Nanning...never heard of anyone doing that. I am actually trying to figure out if I can get a truck to take my bike from Hong Kong to Mongolia...
