Mate, every well know motorcycle brand is in China now but as we say "You want to Play - You have to Pay" due to very high motor-vehicle import tax and extremely costly license plates and registrations around some China municipalities, provinces and cities....

Well ~ the small custom Ducati Z50 Honda "Monkey Bike" was handbuild with lots of one off special parts fabricated or special order from around the world. My Ducati MTS-PP 2012 was imported legally through Ducati (China): https://www.ducatichina.cn and fully legal plate and registration (11/11/11) in Shanghai / China. Absolute fantastic bike set up to my personal specs and preferences and had great fun cruising around China. Well - all good times coming to an end and the MTS is up for sale as too many China bikes on hand in the moment, got different riding interest in future years (KTM450EXC 2016): http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...da-pikes-91871
On another note, apparently Ducati (China) launching the smaller MTS950 and looking forward to take one for a test run but not interested to own another Ducati in the "motherland" in the forseeable future.....
