'''American Eagle''' was a motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in the United States. | |||
The American Eagle was sold in Great Britain and Australia as the [[Alron]] and [[BVM]] in Belgium. Alron and BVM are exactly the same motorcycle built by Sprite Developments in England. The Sprite 405cc open class engine or a choice of four Spanish [[OSSA]] power plant were available | |||
The American Eagle burst on the scene in the early 70s with a lot of advertising and a small motocross team. The bike was light, with plenty of torque and the handling was OK, but the reliability was wretched. The engine was very similar to a [[Husqvarna]] 400 and some of the parts were interchangeable. For example, the entire Husky gearbox would fit in the Eagle cases, but no individual gear would. By 1974, the Eagle vanished. | |||
By 1969 American Eagle had over 100 dealers in the U.S. | |||
