Harley could learn from Apple
Harley and Apple are both premium brands. Apple is in the process of releasing a new line of MacBooks with their new processor. The day after these products were announced, they collaborated with Youtubers to answer questions about the new products. Now some of these you tubers tried to ask the tough questions and some just patted Apple on the back but I think it goes a long way working with you tubers to help get that product information out there and this also hits a large portion of their demographic that they are trying to sell to. If Harley wants to reach new riders, a lot of people live on YouTube nowadays. Just my thoughts

The same reason that the sheep keep buying the same ole HD's... sucker born every minute. Apple changes a processor, camera or some internals, puts it in the same shell and ups the price. MoCo, changes an engine puts it in the same frame, throws on the same tines.. ups the price and the sheep buy them... Nobody demands better for the money they fork over.

Same with Apple. Steve Jobs said years ago that he was only interested in outpacing himself. Make something better each year and not be the revolutionary product like Samsung, but instead, be the stable product. Sadly, people eat it up and buy the phones and devices and will again next year. The way they're going with removing features, I'm surprised the phones still have screens. But they created their own market and we are all stuck in the bed we made.
Oh hey, fun fact. If you go into settings on your iphone you can turn on screen capture by tapping on the "apple" logo on the back of the phone.

Apple is the type of company Harley never could be, Harley gave up innovating and a good chunk of that blame falls on their dealers and riders. People love to blame the company but just watching the reactions to real improvements to existing bikes is proof enough a good portion of the customer base is toxic to the brand.
