US-based Harley-Davidson brought more than a hundred years of tradition to China when it opened its first authorized store on the mainland in early April.

"It will help create a premium lifestyle in China," says David Foley, Harley-Davidson Asia Inc's managing director for China.

The store sold five Harley-Davidson motorcycles for between 300,000 yuan (US$37,500) and 400,000 yuan (US$50,000) in its first week.
