Harley-Davidson Responds To EU Tariffs
Harley-Davidson announced Monday it would move some of its production overseas to avoid a dramatic tariff increase imposed by the European Union. The EU tariff comes In response to the United States implementing a tax on aluminum and steel to several countries, including EU nations. The EU has responded in kind, levying a tariff on several American products. The most notable for the Motorcycle.com audience is the tariff on American motorcycles 500cc and larger. This is clearly targeted at Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson, though Indian Motorcycles (and parent company Polaris) will also be impacted. Electric motorcycles are not affected by this tariff, leaving Zero Motorcycles out of the conversation.
Inside A Motorcycle Auction
In the course of business a few years ago, I met a guy who’d just taken delivery of a very special highly modified Ducati Desmosedici – one of three Desmos he owned, along with a huge warehouse full of a bunch of other great vehicles. Movie star? Saudi prince? Drug czar? Motojournalist? None of the above.
