When something copies something so closely, it says something about the copier and what is being copied, doesn't it?
I'll stick with the original, flaws and all.  |
Yes, the Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 motorcycle I have is a great example of that.
It was the bike that Harley actually sued, and beat Kawasaki, for mimiking the Fat-Boy, so closely, with everything, including the Harley sound. Pretty cool, because even the emblem, on the tank matches the one on the tank of the Fat-Boy. I have one of each, so I see the similarities when they are next to each other.
Harley won the lawsuit, for everything except for their claim on the sound. The courts said that they could not patent the sound. Kawasaki changed the bikes as a result..
