Historics Sell your house and buy a Vincent

Never caught the Vincent fever. When stuff is too old and too agricultural even for me, you know it is no good

 

A mate of mine has two of them. One he rides, the other he races. The racebike engine was rebuilt by the Horner brothers, of Irving -Vincent fame. Prolly has $200K+ tied up in the two machines,

...but then he also has a square case 900SS, a mint RC30, an MV F4i, a '47 Triumph 500 he restored himself, a Ducati 998, an S1000RR, a Harley of some sort, a KTM1190R, and about 6 or 8 dirtbikes.

All that and he's a really nice bloke. No bullshit, no airs and graces, and really, really, fucken fast.

 

Poor lad, so many bikes, so little time

 

I understood all production Vincents had twin drums.

 

All Vincents had cantilever rear ends and girder forks. The pic you've used is of an Egli-Vincent; Vincent engine/Egli frame, which has a twin-shock rear end and telescopic forks. Also only worth about half the price of an original.
