perhaps. but BMW is a status symbol, and as you pointed out, professional buy h-d because it's a status symbol.
I used to call them rolex riders, i wondered why they never went BMW, but i never really knew any. they plop their amex card down at the dealer and go pick out a jacket before they even consider bike. hell, i had to roll pennies to get my first h-d. i think it's because the billy badass factor combined with status symbol. it's rarely, if ever, on account of the open road calling.
also, don't forget the harley tariff of 1986. 50%
