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.
