Come on! Really? Such an overwhelmingly large US market for bikes in this cc range... right? This is going to have a huge economic affect 😉 that the USA is looking for...

simicrintz 177 Posted April 25, 2019 The tariffs are far reaching. Without getting political I do think some of it is necessary to control the imbalance present between Countries. It doesn't hurt until it affects one directly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only beef is, how balanced and well thought out is aTariff on 500 to 700cc motorcycles? 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This runs both directions, but it does seem that we have been getting the short stick for many years. If they start adding tariffs to Play-Doh but you and I don't play with it anymore (I'm not saying that I don't-that stuff is awesome and smells good to boot!) then it doesn't really matter since it doesn't impact us personally. I think we gotta start somewhere to regain balance. One day we will (finally!) get to ride and then sit down and set all of this straight, Mark! I am looking forward to that day!!
