The US government is considering a 100% tariff on European motorcycles displacing 51-500cc's. The tariff would be a responses to the European Union's ban on US hormone-grown beef. The AMA has sent a letter to the US department of Commerce explaining the damage this would cause the industry. The AMA argued that any actions should be through agricultural tariffs.
I feel they have a great point. The models affected would be mostly European dirt bike models, a market that has nothing what-so-ever to do with hormone-grown beef. This move would really benefit the US in any way. It would simply punish European motorcycle manufacturers, and likely award Japanes manufacturers.
