Will a 10%-150% price increase from Tariffs (USA and Counter-USA Tariffs) delay or speed up your new motorcycle buying plans?


1. Delay - Significantly
2. Delay - Some impact
3. No effect.
4. Speed Up Buying

You have 2 weeks before 10%-150% price increases to into effect (there are 3 proposed tariffs, March 4th, March 12th and April 2nd). I'm suspecting a whip-lash "how much is that price" effect once Spring hits on the deal floors. It's most likely too early to buy a new motorcycle right now for most, but by the time Spring is here, we are looking at signification price increases on new bikes.

Hope I'm wrong and no tariffs go in anywhere, but dollars-to-donuts, they will and only increase.
