MILWAUKEE -- Harley-Davidson Inc. will open its first dealership in China next month, marking its entry into the burgeoning economy.

Beijing Harley-Davidson, partnered with dealer Beijing Feng Huo Lun, will open in early April, the Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer said Thursday.

"The quality of the Beijing Harley-Davidson dealership experience will be first-class in every respect," said David Foley, the company's managing director in China. "Customers will get a real understanding and appreciation of the Harley-Davidson lifestyle."

This will mark the motorcycle maker's first retail outlet in the country since at least World War II.

1. Motorcycles get pretty good MPG
Hey, why not. Let's have a China division of the Hell's Angels. That would be interesting.

4. I smell something bag 'bout this
How long will it take Harley-Davidson to outsource its plants there and/or when will China make there own copy copy.

But Harley-Davidson (one of the last American made product) won't do that....right? :sarcasm:
