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 ??

they would have to be eh ??

That custom Vincent was on bike builder showdown..... or whatever that show is called... only the badge is origional from what I believe...

it was purpose built to break a land speed record on a replica vincent...
