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.

Ever notice how HD doesn't mimic the metrics, but they all have V- twins?
