Sometimes the Brits get things right, and the Vincent Motorcycle as near the top of the list.
Talk about a Classic V-Twin!
"What was once the fastest motorcycle in the world has set another record after being sold at auction for nearly a million bucks."

Also made famous in song by Richard Thompson and the Rumor And Sigh album,
Great song and he has my taste in women too..
"Oh says Red Molly to James "That's a fine motorbike. A girl could feel special on any such like" Says James to Red Molly "My hat's off to you It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952. And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme" And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride"

Well I was listening to Rumor and Sigh just last night.

Now there might not be too many motorcycles I wouldn't like one way or another. I wouldn't pay that for the Vincent however. But then again I like parallel twins over V-twins.
