[edit] Other “American Eagles”

The name American Eagle has been used in connection with various other motorcycles in the past.

In the early 1970s, the Laverda 750 was marketed as the American Eagle in the U.S., and under that name was ridden by Evel Knievel in his later jumps.
The English Sprite, a 405cc motocross bike, was sold in the U.S. as American Eagle.^[1]
American Eagle Harley-Davidson is a motorcycle dealership in Corinth, Texas, opened in 2002.^[2]
Because their old logos and many of their advertisements have featured an eagle together with the American flag's “stars and stripes”, some people refer to various Harley-Davidson models as "American Eagles", although Harley Davidson itself never marketed a model by that name.
The American Eagle badge was placed on another Laverda and called the Renegade. It was a 150CC version built for the USA and sported fiberglass bodywork and had an additional 25CC over the European version.
