Well it's not a Vincent at all really.........the engine was bought specially by the builder, its a DFI version, cost him $80grand US dollars as a complete unit.

The rest of the bike has been *completely* handbuilt, there is basically nothing on this rig that can be bought off the shelf ( with obvious exceptions being disc pads, spark plugs etc, that type of thing)

It is an absolute cracker, one of the best hand-built specials I have ever seen.........so don't think that a Vincent has been butchered to make this, nothing could be further from the truth.

Spaghetti pipes on the Laverda ?? :lol: :lol: they would have to be eh ??
