Can you imagine the response here on Vital if any other politician but this one had instated a 10-40% U.S. Federal excise tax on functionally all dirt bikes?

Only an idiot could bankrupt a casino...

How long do you think it takes to build up that manufacturing capacity to replace even 20% of what we lost?

US did not get fked by tariffs. That is POTUS kool-aid talk. It is about to get seriously fked by said POTUS's words and actions.

There are no winners in (trade)war. Counter tariffs will make US produced aftermarket parts like Luxon, ProCircuit, FMF, Wiseco etc. too expensive to buy for us Europeans too. The tariffs aren't beneficial to anyone in my opinion

It is not a plus. Many of our sales come from people who just bought a new bike. We do have sales from people upgrading, but once they've upgraded, they're set. If they buy new bikes less frequently because of higher costs, then there are less bikes out there to upgrade and therefore fewer sales. We now see far fewer sales to countries that have imposed retaliatory tariffs. But Xtrig (a foreign competitor) does not have to deal with those tariffs, so they'll see more sales, which certainly isn't beneficial to an us, an American company. Further, all of our...

It's odd so many of you are OK to pay 20% more for a bike in order to "protect" the non existent American competition (there are no American dirt bikes). Why? It's not like some new American dirt bike company will form because of this... You can maybe argue for tariffs on other products, but how can you possibly argue for this? What does it accomplish? This tarriff hurts everyone, including us (an American company, making parts in America, from American materials) as people have less money for aftermarket parts. We're already hurting because of material tariffs (and yes, we...

24% on everything from Japan. Problem is, that Trump has included currency manipulation, which is not that easy to calculate, when deciding the level of penalty per region or country. So even if a country has 5% import duty, he can deem it to be 15 or 20%. Who knows. If there is severe inbalance in that calculation, no country can just remove import duty on US goods, and be back to zero import duty exporting to US. They would actually have to pay US to get back to zero if he stick with currency manipulation being part of the...
