American Eagle

From Motorcycle Classics: "The first examples sold in the U.S. were 750s, marketed by Jack McCormack under the American Eagle brand. McCormack, interestingly enough, had been one of the people responsible for Honda’s hugely successful “You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda” ad campaign of the early 1960s. Although McCormack was a shrewd marketer (he signed Evel Knievel to ride the American Eagle Laverda exclusively during this period), by 1970 American Eagle had folded, and Laverda’s twin hit the U.S. market under its own name for the first time."
