While this is possible, it's also possible that it was included because a Harley Davidson is a distinctive motorcycle to most people.

You say Harley and most people get a pretty specific mental image. Say Kawasaki Vulcan and the average person will probably picture a sport bike.

Edit: Apparently HDs aren't as common in New Zealand as the US either. In 2023 Honda alone sold more than double the new bikes of Harley.

Because Harley's are shit and NZ is one big series of corners, the sort of thing that Harley riders are terrified of.
