Any company that can sell essentially the same product, with new paint, for more money every year, for 100 years, has to be doing something right I suppose.

Spoken like a man who knows absolutely nothing about modern Harley-Davidsons.

What? Evo? V Rod? Gimmicks.

Harley has no interest in making real progress, as that would jeopardize the image.

A Harley was a loud, slow V Twin in 1955, and they remain loud, slow V Twins today.

Cool, yes, but hardly the leading edge of motorycle technology.

I will say they don't leak much anymore, fortunately, and the newer bikes do exhibit improved quality and fit/finish.

Still, next to a Honda or BMW, they look tremendously unrefined.
