1969 American Eagle Geronimo 238 with Kawasaki motor on display at the 2016 Idaho Vintage Motorcycle Show -- Caldwell, Id.
I have an American eagle frame and am trying to identify the numbers as to what model it belongs to. Have you got any frame number info on these rare bikes?
I'm sorry. I have no information on this brand. I spent some time on the InterWeb and found out that American Eagle was started by John "Jack" McCormack after he left U.S. Suzuki. American Eagle were rebadged Laverdas, ItalJets, and Kawasakis, so you may be able to cross reference frame numbers from these bikes and discover what you have.
I bought one of these when I got out of the Navy in 1969. My first taste of motocross. My 1969 was identical to this one except it had a blue tank. Wish I had it today...
very cool
