Hmmm... quote from website:

"Q. When will these bikes be available and how many models will you be in production?
A. Vincent Motors has completed four pre-production prototypes. The next phase will include building prototypes for Design Validation and Production Validation level performance, handling, as well as EPA and DOT testing. We anticipate that process will be complete and production will begin in late 2004."

2004?

Pretty close to sealing the deal on a BMW 1200GS, but this thread is making me reconsider.

Nah, the K1200's aren't my cup of tea. Previous owner of my roadster got a K1200 as a replacement and doesn't like it either. Never heard of anyone who didn't love their GS though.

Good timing, I just got some cool parts for the Ducati for winter installation.

Details! I want one.

That is a show bike guys. I know..I wish it was a production bike.

Here's the where I found it:

"...two variations on an air-cooled CB1100R machine with distinctly retro styling - one harking back to the endurance racers of a quarter century ago, and the other somewhere between the original CB750 of 1969 (the original superbike) and the CB400 which launched a thousand racing careers.

more of the CB1100R...

I have to say, I love this thread, guys. You all know I'm a pokey old Harley rider from way back, but these cafe' racers speak to me. I would love to someday have a classic Bonneville motored, Featherbed framed cafe' racer. Or a classic Duc, like a '70's vintage 900SS. Or a Yellow Submarine. Or a...
