Backing the bike to the curb and posing with it is not exactly a mainstream activity for most BMW riders, while the same cannot be said for HD riders. So peruse the historical participation and placing in the Biennial Iron Butt Rally for example and you do find a different perspective on participation.
Not many Harley do Iron Butt mileage requirements. Until I moved to Az. I made every Laconia, NH bike week since 1972. I was born there and still had relatives I could stay with, so it was a no brainer to travel to from just south of that states borders. 90% Harley attendance out of 400K bikes that week. That's a guess but it's close.
The last MOA national rally had what? 6K in attendance from all over the US? Laconia draws people from all over the country and Europe that week. Daytona, nearly identical percentage of Harleys.
