[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 137012, member: 302"] Nice bike, nice video, with a fair bit of misinformation thrown in, around 6000 made? unless that was the twin output, designed in the thirties? Mikuni carbs? unless they were changed for Amal Concentrics at a later date, but the engine does sound to be in fine fettle. I don't agree that Vincent ceased production because they sat back and rested on their laurels, far from it, they were well ahead of the game until the very end, you can't even blame their demise on the Mini, that came a bit later, I think it was simply cost, now were the Vincent still being manufactured today they would probably just take a leaf out of Triumphs book and retain all the prestige of the brand whilst producing them cheaply in Thailand or somewhere similar.
