FLHX - 310,000 rmb
FLHRC - 300,000 rmb
FLHR - 290,000 rmb

Out the door, it is an additional 11.7%

Beijing "A" plate through the Harley dealer is 18,400

There were about 20 bikes sitting on the showroom floor - all were already sold.

Basically the same prices as 2010. I was interested in the 1200 sporty until they dropped it from the line up. Seems the neuve rich Chinese either want the 883 or spring for the big hogs... I can only guess that there was little to no interest in the 1200 and HD decided that getting the CCC wasn't worth the effort, hassle or expense... I bought my Dragstar instead, which looks so deceptively Harley that more locals crowd my bike more than my foreign mates fair dinkum hog whenever we stop. That being said though, he has the little sportster, with its narrow tank and low range, plus he sits on it in kind of a neutral position which doesn't look all that great. Now if my Dragstar is beside some of the bigger Hogs e.g. fatboys and so on, then my Dragstar blends in and doesn't stand out so much.

I agree completely - I had a 1200 Sportster in the early 90s and it was a damn fine bike. It would be perfect for the mountain twisties around Beijing - much more agile than the big hogs. I have no idea why it isn't offered.

I also think the Dragstar is another fine bike - it has all the panache of a Harley, without the price (buying / servicing).
