From the Paper:

" They do have a web site, and they do utilize this, however it is not the largest and most obvious way that they sell their motorcycles. Much of what the Harley-Davidson Company relies on is all the prestige that has come from over 100 years of selling quality motorcycles. This prestige is largely what causes many individuals to buy Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and therefore this brand recognition is one of the main marketing tools that Harley-Davidson uses to sell their variety of motorcycles. One of the ways that Harley-Davidson has a competitive advantage over others is that they play on this prestige. They work to show people who are considering buying one of their motorcycles that there is much more to owning a motorcycle than simply riding down the road on something flashy and eye-catching. There is class in many of the bikes that they sell, and Harley-Davidson motorcycles have become more of a status symbol then competitors brands."
