It's not, directly - it would appear to be a bias the reporter injected; the real story is that this person is/was an active member of the "Filthy Few" MC - "filthy few" being a slogan used by the Hell's Angels and patches given for doing the dirty work (look up Charles PeeWee Goldsmith). The brand of motorcycle has no material bearing on the crime committed - there is enough history of this person's violent and criminal past presented; the mention of the bike brand has no purpose other than to incite moral outrage. Harley sold it's first Police motorcycle in 1908.
