The Mothership doesn't want to undercut the Euro dealers.

I have Swedish roots. I think you should come over here and shop Viking style. I can just picture you walking out of a smoldering dealership with a battle axe buried in the front door, carrying an armload of parts, with screaming sales girls in the background. I can even suggest a couple dealerships that are overdue for a little pillaging..

Wow! 50% more! That does seem like a lot more. How much of that is due to VAT taxes, etc?
Seems like the fair charge would just be whatever the dollar exchanges for your currency (kronin?)
But on the other hand you DID want a dealer nearby to be able to sell you an IMPORTED motorcycle......he cant survive on bike sales alone.

I think you should scramble the Swedish bikini team to protest the unfair trade tactics of HD.
