Engine displacement is measured in liters or cc as standard. Harley Davidson demands in using cubic inches though.

Its just the old air cooled dinosaur old-man Harleys that show their engines in cubic inches. Here's a 975cc Harley. Here is a 750cc Harley. The sportsters have been listed in cc's for decades.

Suzuki does it too, on their cruisers. Like the M109.

I didn't know that and it is hilarious.

Its also incorrect for about half the bikes harley makes...

And don't look too closely at cruisers from Suzuki.
