In addition to the current tariff on imports, how about a 50% tariff on the Aluminum and Steel in your next motorcycle?: 

The Department of Commerce is weighing an expansion of Section 232 tariffs that could add hundreds of new product categories – including motorcycles, electric motorcycles, parts, and some OHVs – to the existing 50% duties on steel and aluminum derivatives.
The Motorcycle Industry Council, Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association, and Specialty Vehicle Institute of America submitted formal comments opposing the requests for inclusion, citing potential harm to manufacturers, dealers, and riders.
To voice your opposition to Section 232 tariffs already in place, the MIC Action Center offers a simple way to contact lawmakers.

WAIT, The Livewire Honcho isn't a Heavyweight Electric Motorcycle as reported by RideApart: 

https://www.rideapart.com/news/773209/harley-davidson-livewire-s4-honcho-trademarked/

"For the S4 models, LiveWire originally said they would be reserved for “heavyweight motorcycles with expected improvements in range and charging capabilities.” Honcho is derived from the Japanese term 班長 (or hanchō), meaning “group leader,” so it contextually, the name makes sense as the LiveWire’s first heavyweight model."

It turns out it's actually a minibike, misinformation leaked to mislead investors? It appears to use Kymco's IONEX modular quick-change battery system.

I've been stranded in the combat zone

I walked through Bedford Stuy alone

Even rode my motorcycle in the rain

And you told me not to drive

But I made it home alive

So you said that only proves that I'm insane.
