    Just heard on news this morning 25% rise in duty on HD products.
    These bikes are over priced as it is going to make new owners even bigger hill to climb now...Im glad i already own one..did i say that out loud.

    ........except it is slightly more subtle than that. Most of the rules apply to country of manufacture, not Brand. You end up encouraging manufacturers to move assembly to places that circumvent the problem - e.g. Triumph servicing it US market from Thailand or Brazil. Harley opened a plant in India in 2014........
