In the late 1960s, Italian manufacturer Laverda teamed up with McCormack International Motors to distribute Laverdas under the American Eagle name into the lucrative USA market
Basically this collaboration was 'badge engineering' as the models were almost identical to their European family
US stunt legend, Evil Knievel, used an American Eagle in the late 1960s and helped in their marketing
Only about 150 bikes were ever sold, not helped by the introduction of the all conquering Honda CB750
This matching numbers example is presented in good overall condition and in running order
Same owner for last 15 years and has undergone a recent engine overhaul and frame re-paint
Recently fitted with electronic engineering along with a wheel rebuild with stainless spokes, rewire and carb rebuild
Rare model and a great opportunity to own a very unusual Laverda
UK-registered on a current V5C
