Hey guys, I want to pick up this thread for some updated info if anyone has some. Moving to Shanghai in the summer, and wondering if I should take my 京B plated GW250 with me, or just sell it here in BJ? I'm not planning on riding it a ton in SH, but the occasional weekend ride might be nice. Am I asking for trouble, though, cruising around SH with a BJ plate? Will I even be able to get petrol? Thanks for the thoughts.

This is very difficult to answer. However, I would just tell you the situation now in SH. At 7:30 am to 10:30 am Mid-day and then 430 to 7pm there are traffic cops at virtually every major (or mid-high traffic corners). Even on Sundays Inner ring this happens.

The law has clearly stated that no outside plated motorcycles are allowed in SH city limits. There is some videos here and there of the police stopping truck loads of scooters and motorcycles at the city boarder. If you ride in city limits you will be stopped and you will get penalized (list and list of real world examples) IE there is likely no more riding around for 2 years without getting caught and everything is fine.

However, personally it depends on where you live... if you live in Min Hang and you don't ride everyday and just take the bike out on weekends to Zhejiang area, I would say I would take the risk. If you live anywhere within mid ring... no... But I would keep the 京B plate and get some cheapass bike to put it on or just buy a new bike with Hu C... depends on your budget...
