#1 BMW 2011 Prices (in China)02-03-2011, 03:34 AM
Here is the new 2011 BMW price list for mainland China.
Out-the-door, you will have approximately an additional 10% in taxes and fees (I think the base sales tax is 8.9%, but someone might correct me).
Depending on which city you register your new bike in, your license plate will also add to the On-the-road price.
For example, the current price for a Beijing "A" plate is around 8,000 rmb (plus around 700 in fees). I think the Shanghai plate's market price is currently 54,000 rmb (plus fees).

I've heard rumors that BMW is not having any trouble selling bikes in Beijing & Shanghai.
However, for the price of one GS650 (the lowest priced model in the BMW line) ... I can buy four JH600s ... or at least eight quite respectable & fun bikes like a Galaxy or Qingqi.
Alas, the cost of "status" in China (i.e., parking it in an obvious location for neighbors to see), as opposed to actually using a bike for fun adventures.

Hello,
I bought 2 BMW F800GS motorcycles last year. The prices for 2011 look about the same as the prices for 2010. Still very high and padded with tax.
I'm not sure if BMW Motorrad is looking for a manufacturing base in China, but if they did the prices on these bikes could be cut in half. That would finally be some good news.

In the words of Paul Simon ... "I am just a poor boy" ... hence, my little pinkie collection has to remain in the two-wheeled world.

From what I've read on other forums, it's got nothing to do with China, seems that a lot of these GS adventure bikes never leave pavement and end up being ridden to Starbucks mostly.
Ryan, how did the sponsorship by BMW work out? Did they actually donate the bikes to you, or did you have to purchase, and then sell them, on your own? If I had to spend that much cash, it would be hard torturing them like you guys did on your trip. However, if it were donated to me by BMW, I would have greatly enjoyed beating the snot out of an F800GS.
Cheers!

Great idea ... why bother with expensive pfaelzer mods? I can afford the badges (well, at least on one side ... the side that admiring pedestrians are on)
Ta da!
