Coolest bike ever

[peter f]

Well friends,

Against "some" opposition (Dukes like Paul Smart, NCR's like Millona/Blue, Original Egli, MV of the past, NC45 etc etc) here's my coolest bike ever ("bargain" - 38000 pounds - hurry!!).

Post yours

...tank not big enough...
...no heated grips...
...not a touring bike...
...bars too low...

if that is a recreated vintage era bike, why the attention to history right down to drum brakes, and lame suspension? i can live with the rest, it is pretty!

Yes it is a recreation: It is Godet-Egli Vincent. 38,000 pounds is pretty high for a recreation. If that is really the price. A real un-molested Vincent can be found for less.

As to the "Lame" suspension: It has a Ceriani telecopic fork, which is very good and still the piece to have in vintage racing.

The magnesium Fontana front brake is also quite the stopper.

That's the one I saw at last year's concours in Half Moon Bay:
