Yes, this doesn't affect Ducati's sold in the US. But it does affect many other motorcycles that we "could" own.

But many of the EU-branded motos that fall in this range (BMW 310R, KTM 390 Duke and RC390, Royal Enfield Himalayan, etc.) are produced in India. Does that not make them a 'product' of India, rather than a state of the EU? Title: Re: Beef Industry Wants to Tax Some Motos at 100% Post by: ducpainter on January 24, 2017, 07:28:55 PM I think the premise of the petition is the two industries shouldn't cross regarding tariffs.
Let's leave it at that and support the AMA, or not.
