Think of all those Muslims building Harleys.




OMG! Suicide Road Kings! Harley has been looking overseas for some time,
particularly for smaller bikes than their traditional line (ignoring the
Aermacchi adventure). This year they have the 'Street' a 500 cc bike and
have dropped the Dyna that's been around since 1991, or 1971 if you
count the original FX. The market is changing.


Looking to grow sales outside the US isn't the issue here. The issue
is that because of Trump's tariffs and the EU retaliation directed at
HD with new tariffs, HD will now move production of bikes sold in the EU
from the USA to the EU. So much for bringing jobs back here......
