I would suspect it's a general 6% tarriff on things that haven't been included in a trade deal before, and thanks to WTO rules it'll be the same for Japanese motorbikes as well.
- smogcutter 8y agoThat's what I would've thought too, but in 2017 Harley sold 140k bikes in the US and 40k in Europe. So probably a fraction of the Japanese brands, but definitely a significant portion of Harley's business. http://investor.harley-davidson.com/our-company/motorcycle-retail-sales http://investor.harley-davidson.com/our-company/motorcycle-r...
