For me, a Vincent in any other colour than black just looks wrong.

Still looks contemporary, even now!

I wouldn't go that far, but certainly you don't see so many in Red (or silver - that might be quite nice)

Plus - the name "Black Shadow" kind of lends itself to a black bike?

I got the offer of riding one a year ago (which had the brakes upgraded), but declined in case I bent it. I've never ridden a bike with opposed brake/gear levers, so didn't want to chance it.

Beautiful Bike at least its an original unlike this thing I spotted in Germany a few years back, I DO like it but they have a cheek putting those badges on it

Ugh.....a tarted up Girlster! Probably with Learner legal power :roll: I bought one for my wife after she passed her test, it was soon chopped in for a Buell, which really are the 'thinking mans Vincent'. The Buell was superior to my NorVin in every possible way.
