I haven't done this kind of journey leaving China on a Chinese bike, but tokyokid over at mychinamoto has done something similar, take a look at this thread.
Shanghai to Berlin on YBR125 - MyChinaMoto
It seems at least theoretically possible to get a temporary Chinese driving license, although in practice it might not be possible (I'm going to check this out and report back). If you are intending on doing limited mileage in China before entering Russia or Mongolia it is a slight calculated risk not having a license. Obviously the bigger the mileage in China you want to do, the better it would be to be fully legal. However previous experience has shown that having Chinese registration and the mandatory insurance that comes with it is probably OK 99.9% of the time, along with your home license and IDP as the cops can see you were trying to be legal, except for the unlikely event of an accident, where circumstances and Chinese police logic dictates the amount of money to be paid by each party. Registering the bike will also need for you to have a Chinese friend put the bike in their name using their ID card, so find someone you trust to do this and make sure you get a bill of sale to prove it's then your bike.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
