Only mentioned bikes between 51 and 500cc. But I'm against import tariff for bikes only because there are very few options if you were to buy an American bike. It's not like cars where you have the big 3 offering 100's of models.

Doesn't affect the street bikes much but could be a huge blow to dirt bikes. Also it affects the European models so the Japanese bike companies would probably be all for it.

I don't know all that much about it, one of the dual sport guys I ride with posted so I figured I'd post here to spread the word even though it doesn't have as large of an impact on the street market.
