Most of us don't ride. Or did you mean most of the Harley owners? That I would argue.
I don't know what it is because other MC manufacturers have tried many times to produce a U.S. made bike and fell off their kickstand. So, it can't all be the COO.
This is a classic case of 'if it works, don't fix it' (even if you don't understand it). HD does make this mistake now and then.
If I was CEO of HD my priority would be quality of build followed by market observation. And Id keep the price fair by employing manufacturing efficiency. IOW, the Porsche model. How is rear engine car even possible these days?
If you just stepped off a spaceship, you'd wonder the same.
