In sincerely apologise if this is a done to death topic.

I read the other day that Harley Davidson has 'recently' opened legit sales in China. I also discovered a store in my town that's selling Harleys, Indians and so forth.

My understanding is that there's a national prohibition on bikes over 250cc and that to get them on the road without attracting attention, you had to buy a similarly looking bike and do a dodgy with swapping the plates.

I can't believe that Harley would stoop to selling 250cc bikes. Has the 250 rule been changed or is Harley selling them under some technicality of "not for use on actual public thoroughfares hahah you still need to do the dodgy"?

Cheers,
A slightly drunk bmic
