[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 179161, member: 597"] People have been modifying and blowing up engines since the beginning of the internal combustion engine........The Vincent name is well known for speed work so nothing new there.......Most super fast classic race bikes run no original parts (Molnar Manx) for one.......An original Manx would have near no hope of winning against these modern replicas........I agree with what you say, but some of us still like to get more from what we have......a lot more fun and semi productive that just dreaming about it........Costly yes, but not too bad........I suppose an exclusive club membership to an elite Golf club or out catching a Marlin from a super expensive fishing boat would be better........for some......Not me.......When you come out of a corner and wrap open the throttle and feel the pulling power like taking off in a jet........On a single cylinder classic race bike.......it actually feels like you've done something just a little bit special.......well better than scratching your head fixing years of butchered cases and heads from years of abuse.......Its nice to do something that actually goes instead of some asthmatic steam engine.......If we cant enjoy something, then what else is there.
