I can't think of any instance where a Harley is better than the competition,
they are better bikes than what was produced 20 years ago however still
behind the competition in technology, in most cases it's all about "the
look"

That was part of it although he and the rest of the board helped put HD into
that situation after the buyout from AMF in the early 80's, they were also
helped by a stiff tariff on any cycle over 700CC signed by Reagan (which I
opposed)

I've ridden several Harleys however my heart belongs to Suzuki :)
