What can/can't you do with a a 京A plate?

I second the 2nd and 3rd but I'm not sure about
Most likely it is not an investment. I exported my bike and thought that if i'd retire the plate, it could be used by someone else - nope. The BMW dealer and some other trustworthy sources said it cannot be used.

Same happened to a fully legal HD owner in Shanghai. He bought a HD big cruiser some years ago from the official dealer (old HD Gudai Road dealership), customized the hell out of the bike and could not transfer the Shanghai "A" rego in March 2011 to a mates bike (legal import bike with all docs).

He exported the bike to his new destination (Singapore) with all his personal belongings in a 40ft. Sea-container. It's a confusing situation all over ML China and motorbike rego might not be a good investment after all.....

Ride safe, PAL
