Pride does not pay the bills.
They go where the $$ tells them to and tariffs are increasing costs of materials.
I wonder if that is a real reason? Let's think about this, motorcycle like an Indian or Harley weighs about 800 lbs.
400 lbs of steel=$400 @ $1 per pound
400 lbs of aluminum = $800 @ $2 per pound
That makes $1,200 in metal in a $35,000 bike.
Even if you double the cost of raw materials you wouldn't notice or see much of cost in the final product.
