    Conversation here in the U.K. is any bike from Europe under 500cc going to the USA will have an 100% import tax added!!! I've no direct link to a source story and this might be 'fake news'.

    Thanks. It's not fake news, but it is somewhat old news. There's another post here somewhere and the AMA has been fighting it for months. Last I heard they weren't having much luck. The tarif is related to the EU ban on US beef because of hormone use. So in some whack trade negociations the US trade knuckleheads are threatening to impose a tarif on EU motorcycles :confused:
