I never saw a fire fighter bike before :confused1:



Meanwhile it is possible to register big bikes in Shanghai. They are able to get you "A" and "C" plates.
A = everywhere in the city - very pricey though
C= not within the inner (?) ring road

To the best of my knowledge and info from the importer.

Strange that they have not opened in Guangdong.

#1 Just as many, if not more, wealthy people than the other locations.

#2 A much longer riding season than the other locations.

#3 Proximity to Hong Kong and Zhuhai which have very active motorcycle communities.

I would buy one tomorrow if I was confident that I could get it registered here.

Thanks for the info Andy :thumbsup:

Cheers!

Because of exactly the reasons you pointed out, a dealership in GD is planned.
The registration issue is work in progress and part of the recent rider training visit was to get this addressed. Let's see how good we performed :mwink:

Are the Shanghai addresses above still good. I would like to go by and visit one of the Shanghai BMW dealers in October.

They should be still there. A phone call should clarify :rolleyes1:

Thanks, I will have the wife call and confirm directions while we are in Shanghai. She is local Chinese so she has no issue with the language but she does not understand my motorcycles so I thought I would do a little ground work. I am also looking to see if the Ducati store is open.

My JH600 is OK but I miss the GSA I have in the USA. I am going to look a little harder at maybe getting another 800GS or the new dual sport Duc for next year here in China in spite of the ridiculous pricing.

He who dies with the most toys, wins!

Just thought I'd share a price update on a couple of BMW models I'm considering... the single cylinder G650GS (no ABS) is 元99000 incl. tax/fees while the G650GS (ABS) is 元136,200. Meanwhile the twin cylinder F650GS (ABS) (detuned 800cc) is 元198,000 incl. taxes/fees. These prices are out-the-door (just have to pay the applicable license plate and insurance).

RMB99K is looking better and better. It is surprising how one can go from "no way" to "well maybe" to "what the hell"! I may have to sell my CJ750 and the JH600 and cough up the difference to go with something reliable. I like to ride them more than I like to work on them.

Ditto... I'm justifying the 元99000 to myself (though I'd like the security of ABS but not at the price asked), with the mantra that at the end when I'm done and dusted with this place that it should be quite easy to sell the G650GS given that the majority of those for sale on other websites e.g. taoba0 are either non-existent or are illegal and if they do come with plates they are also illegally gained. This will help hold up the inflated prices. My other option is to import a brand new F800GS which I'm trying to win at auction, and if I can get it at the right price - then that's what I will do. If I'm not successful in my bid then I will buy the G650GS at the lower price.

Suffice to say that I've watched the JH600 from the sidelines, and it I'm sorry to say that it hasn't impressed (though I was hoping that it would).

Can you elaborate more on that, sounds interesting, if legal possible.
What is needed to do that legally?
What are the costs that on top of the purchasing price?
Will you handle the issue or use a agent for that?

Sorry to add my 2 Fen.

I don't think a personal importation would make it a lot cheaper, plus imagine all the red tape involved.
You (or someone) must have an importation license for motor vehicles - not many do and those who have one will not provide it free of charge to you.
The bike must have a technical approval, which is taken care of by the dealer - very difficult to obtain, costly and time consuming.
Imagine the registration procedures without a dealer and all his Guanxi.

The only saving you would have is the dealer margin, which, most likely, will be eaten up by other "fees".

I thought about a private import several times but it always turned out not to be feasible.

But as we know, TIC, and there might be the one or the other opportunity to manage it.

Yes, it is legally possible.

I'll have to go back and check all that was required as I made necessary enquiries about doing this last Aug/Sept 2010. The only thing that I recall that had changed was only new motorcycles could be imported into PRC, used/second hand motorcycles were/are now excluded.

It works out to around to anywhere between 40-60% of the MSRP as determined by Chinese Customs.

Something I'll work through as and when the time comes. Just be sure though that it can be done legally.

I hear you chinabiker, and I have my concerns too which is what has stopped me importing my own BMW I still have back in NZ. That being said though, a foreign guy imported his R1200GSA last year from his home country and he got it in, legally and plated etc. It cost him about the same value as the bike was worth.
I also know first hand of a friend who imported 3 (yes three) Land Rover Defenders bought brand new, and then completely outfitted with everything needed to complete the journey overland from Germany into China, taking in as many 4x4 routes as possible. They were joined with a quite a few people and a couple of other vehicles including a Mercedes 4x4 truck/motorhome. Once the 3 Defenders reached China (on Carnet's) 1 Defender was sent back to Germany (by ship) as it had suffered roof damage due to a rollover, while the remaining 2 Defenders were then imported into China. They now have legal PRC plates etc.
Granted it's complicated and difficult, but it's not impossible and in places like SH, one has to be a really BIG BIG fish in that HUGE pond, whereas in places which are smaller then it follows that the pond is logically smaller, then one doesn't have to be so HUGE to be a BIG fish.

That being said though, it will depend entirely if I can pick up one of the two brand new F800GS (full spec models (that a guy has imported from USA-NZ) and are at auction. Currently the bid price is well under MSRP, but I'm under no illusion given that the auction still has a week to run.
