...The Thunderbird and America/Speedmaster is after Harley and the Japanese brands.
Since Fuel injection yes. Yet the Bonneville America is a modern day Speed Twin.
The day I rode the new Thunderbird while in New Hampshire, I said, "wow, a baby
fat boy". However, I'd say Harley cloned Triumph as Triumph is one year older.
And Harley knows how to roll. What was it about bowling balls?
I do think the pre F.I. Americas (and that bastard stepchild, the SM.  ) are the one bike that is the FURTHEST from a COPY of any other bike, except the older Triumphs. Copied from H/D?, NO WAY! No V-twin engine, no matching tanks, etc. 
And you may see me tonight
