Vincents are an odd duck.In the 60s they were still the world's fastest Production motorcycle and would retain that title for many years. Most motorcyclists back then knew about them.I was 13 years old in 1967 with a Honda 90 to ride, but I knew of the Vincent and desperately wanted one.Had there been any in our area, that would have been a great time to buy one. In spite of the fame, with the company bankrupt and a very shakey parts supply, prices were low. Some of the older fellows on the Vincent site bought their bikes in the 60s for ten to fifteen pounds.When a fairly reliable parts supply developed, prices started to rise. And they are still rising.
