    "Harley-Davidson plans to shift the production of some of its bikes out of the US in response to Europe’s new tariffs on motorcycle imports.

    In a stock market filing, the company said the EU’s reaction to Donald Trump’s steel tariffs, which will add $2,200 (£1,657) to the average cost of a motorcycle exported from the US to Europe, will result in up to $100m of extra charges over the next couple of years.

    To prevent further long-term damage to the company’s revenues, it said the production of motorcycles for EU destinations needs to switch from the US to its international facilities."

    • Have any of you ridden the Harley Street? Not all that...robotron3k
    • lol@robo, dismissing the point by implying hd is shit anyways because he didn't like the ride of one bike. trumptardism in a nutshell.kona
    • I don't think their electric models will be well received in 2019 either, i predict silent harleys will be a tough sell.robotron3k
    • robo still missing the point, which is that the tariffs are not producing the result intended. I guess since he's not into HD it's okay that the work is outsourmonospaced
    • hey robo, your lord and savior trumptard is giving away jobs to brown people ... does that get through your bigoted thick head?monospaced
    • or maybe you're just okay with the idea of yet another US institution going to the wayside, like the auto industry. So patriotic and hypocritical of you.monospaced
