Harley has been copied many times.
I know a guy who gets 'ticked' because people keep asking if his metric is a Harley.

Vulcan is a Kawi, M109 seems to be Suzuki's version. Vtx from Honda, and Star is from Yamaha. they all seem to have different aspects of various Harley's, all falling short in my opinion.
