Bygone brands – American Eagle June 3, 2021 This Laverda 750 twin was one of the flagship models of a short-lived enterprise in the USA, which rebranded a number of bikes from several makers, including Italjet and Kawasaki. It including a range of dirt models. American Eagle was set up in 1966 by John McCormack, who had worked with the USA divisions of Suzuki and Honda. The company went belly-up circa 1972. We can't help thinking Laverda had a better grasp of how to present the bike – see the two ads below. MCnews has an interesting mini feature on the American Eagle and the 150 Renegade – see it here. Motocross Action features the 405 Talon, here.
