Topic: Who Remembers This Bike?

        I had temporarily forgotten about this model of the American Eagle. Found THIS example (and more) over on North American Two Strokes. I remember them, do you?

That engine looks like an old Kawasaki to me.

Probably is.. their big motors were Laverda..



For a time Evel Knievel rode AE and endorsed them..

          Yeah mrB, you are right, it is a Kawasaki 350 Rotary Valve Twin. I think it was setup like the Avenger (or was it the Samuri?) Anyway, the American Eagle used the Kawasaki 350, 175 and, I think, some others. As said, the also used the Laverda. I always kinda wanted one of those Kawasaki 350s, they were pretty good screamers. Never managed to get one though.

Sure is a cool little bike, even if there is a Kawi engine in it.

I beleive it would be the Avenger as the 350. I had a 68 Samurai 250 that looked like this one:

     Those were good looking bikes Charlie and, no doubt, good runners too!
