I know that bikes over 250cc can't be registered in Shanghai. If the Duke 200 is registered in Shanghai can it be ridden in all areas/districts? Where are the banned district areas? There should seriously be a map of that if such places do exist as to avoid them from the start on G maps.

Of all new bikes the Duke 200 looks to be the best bang for the buck in the 250cc and under class.
What makes it really interesting is the Duke 125/200/and 390 all use the same frame.
So in reality you could get a registered legit Duke 200 and swap in a 390 engine and no one would know the difference (Did I mention there is now a turbo kit out for the 390 engine taking it to 60hp)

So anyone spotted any Duke 200s riding around Shanghai???

These bikes are now also assembled in China believe it or not.

KTM just ships them their engines and running gear and that gets put into the frame at the China factory.
