:shock: I'd buy it!

I guess they don't have the funding to actually produce the bike...but are getting close...

HST on the Vincent Black Shadow (http://www.vincent-hrd.co.uk/hst.html{/url)
Writer and gonzo journalist Dr. Hunter S. Thompson has long been a connoisseur of fine machinery, especially the Vincent Black Shadow. Here are some passages from his work that discuss the Vincent. Generally the good doctor is referring to the Egli Vincent, which was released about the time these books were written.

Thanks for posting that article....said it was supposed to be built in 03...guess something happened. I guess they're still trying to get funding to start production...20k is a bit steep though...my Thruxton was only $8,500...
