Harley Davidson is doing just fine in asia and the "gray market" in China bodes well for them when China finally decreases its protective tarrifs..

I remember a few years back Mercedes Benz ahd the same problem (still does in many countries)but consumers still found ways to buy em and drive em.

Harley Davidson is doing fine all over the world. the fact is there are non-tariff barriers to their beuing legally sold in China. The fact they are available on a black or grey market is irrelevant to this discussion.

Now what makes you think China will finaly decrease its protective tariffs have the suddenly become a benevolent republic or are they likely to be in the near future? I was unaware of the end of the Communist Party's strnglehold on power please give a reference so we all may learn. Was there a revolution we all missed?
