I know that looks are subjective but.... christ that's hideous!

There's a Vincent seen regular around New Plymouth with a 30ish rider. Seems to be used most days but haven't got a pic of it yet - looks unrestored.

I'm sorry, thats not a Vincent and shouldnt be called one.
no pushrod tubes, no using the motor as the main structural member, with the monoshock pivoting off that and the girder fork off the front.

Of course it's not a real vincent, do you think the new Triumphs are real Triumphs?

Someone has bought the rights to the name, and are trying to resurect it, the NAME, not the bike!

About the engine being structural, IT IS A BAD IDEA, the frame needs to flex for bumps when the bike is lent over, it's as much a safety feature to have it this way as anything else.

The original vincent is a beautifull looking motor, it doesn't look right with a VTR lump. But if it gets them some cashflow so they can develop a motor of their own thats all good.

Patrick Godet will build you an Egli-Vincent using all new parts. price on application, (varies with specification) but expect to sell the house to pay for it.
This is the only one that Fritz Egli has given permission for his name to be used with.

This is the 21st century dammit.

They should be hand crafted out of titanium and carbon. Should cost $60000 minimum and do 300kmh.

SV1000 engines indeed.
