I tend to agree with Roy, most other bikes are a disappointment when compared to a nice running Vincent, even modern ones I have found, the two most recent modern bikes I have owned were a BMW R100R Classic and a Yamaha FJ1200ABS, neither of those bikes were liked very much by either myself, but far more importantly by my pillion passenger, I think if a choice had to be made between me or the Vincent, Sue would choose to keep the Vincent any day.
