Well its true that the big factor in favor of china bikes is the price, take that away and look what you got.
So they cant ship them as cheaply as before because of fuel costs most likely.
So the chinese have hurt their earning potential by subsidizing their fuel costs which has lead to a rapid fuel price increase by disturbing the real demand for fuel.
Hmmm everything seems to be connectted one way or another.
I actually heard president Bush today mention the chinese fuel subsidy and how it has hurt things I was floored that he would even mention it.
