I'd have to say Harley because they had a similar model in 1980-1 called the Sturgis.

What do you all think?

I don't think it looks anything like the Sturgis.

I much prefer the four cylinder look:

The similarities with the Sturgis are quite simply the Blackened out theme & the Orange pin-striped rims. That's about it.

I, myself think the Warrior may have been a little sooner...may just be because I like it a little more.

the midnight warrior came first. but imho the special edition night rod looks better. The rods look kinda reminds me of the old HD cafe racer from the 70s (the XLCR IIRC)

I don't know what's what here, but based on looks alone I'd buy the one mintbread posted. That's a heart pounder there boy!
