ChrisCH Posted Tuesday at 09:24 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:24 AM Back on topic - the question for the US trials market is whether the new Pres will push up the cost of trials bikes to replace other taxes and if so, whether Vertigo is seen as "Chinese" and as such gets the biggest hit in the trade war he is planning? https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/26/politics/trump-income-taxes-tariffs/index.html Most trials bikes are european in origin and might not get hit too hard. Whack job Reagan put a 45% tariff on Japanese bikes as Japan was the boogeyman back then. Bad news for Volvo cars too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a nice `other` bike, But like the Ossa nobody wants a bike that might start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
