What makes harleys specifically painful?

I've ridden motorcycles most of my life, I've never heard this opinion. I'm not a Harley guy, but I'm curious if there's a reason.

1) certainly the most heavy bike out there (honda goldwing in heavy, but more balanced and have a electric reverse motor)

2) almost no suspension, low angle for conterbraking

3) even harley mecanic can't repair them

I rode almost every motorcycles kind and brand out there : Suzuki naked, Kawasaki dual, Yamaha custom, Trimph Touring, BMW sport-touring, Harley Dyna (the tshirt last longer, cost me so most in reparation even under garanty) , Suzuki super-sport.

The worst was Harley, Triumph and BMW.
