Why Now Is the Best Time to Buy Your Powersports Vehicle at Broward Motorsports Hollywood
If you’ve been eyeing that new motorcycle, ATV, Boat or personal watercraft, now is the time to act—and we’re not just saying that. A combination of international trade developments and economic shifts could significantly increase the cost of powersports vehicles in the coming months. Let’s break down what’s happening and why today is a smart time to buy at Broward Motorsports Hollywood.
🔧 Incoming Tariffs: What You Need to Know
The U.S. government is currently reviewing tariff increases on a variety of imported goods, including motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, and parts manufactured overseas. These changes are part of an ongoing response to global trade imbalances, with countries like China and members of the EU being affected.
According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), potential tariffs in 2025 could increase by up to 100% on certain categories of imported vehicles and parts. This includes popular brands in the powersports world such as Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, KTM, and Ducati—many of which rely on parts or full units manufactured overseas.
📈 What This Means for You
Here’s how these tariffs could affect your wallet:
| Product Type | Average Price (2024) | Potential Tariff Impact (2025) | Projected Price Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-Range Motorcycle | $10,000 | 25% – 100% | $2,500 – $10,000 |
| Side-by-Side ATV | $15,000 | 20% – 40% | $3,000 – $6,000 |
| Personal Watercraft | $12,000 | 15% – 30% | $1,800 – $3,600 |
| Dirt Bike | $5,000 | 25% – 50% | $1,250 – $2,500 |
Prices are based on current MSRP averages and projections from recent USTR and industry reports.
Bottom line? A machine that costs $10,000 today could cost you $12,500—or even double—by mid-2025 depending on how the tariffs shake out.
