it is a well known fact that in most instances, if a company is not creating new and more inventive products, it is not growing. However, HD may present a slightly different scenario in that the riders are loyal to the rarely changing Harley product offerings. In other words, these aren't people who necessarily want change.

there was a period when Mercedes rarely changed body styles, then around 1995 that began to change. Personally, I do NOT like or enjoy the new benz body styles and have met quite a few people who like the looks of the pre-1992 mercedes. for some of us, older is better.
