Hello Oliver

Welcome to the VOC Forum The value of the bike is very difficult to decide from the photographs. There are some parts missing, like the magneto cover and the rear sprocket seems to be for a sidecar so a lot depends upon the mechanical condition which cannot be determined from photographs. If it is mechanically sound then it could be worth £25,000, or even more at some auctions. Alternatively if it is worn out and is only suitable for a total rebuild then I would suggest that only about half of that price would be sensible. Some bikes are currently selling for silly prices but it can cost £10,000 to do a really good rebuild on something that is totally worn out.

If you can find an expert locally get them to look at the bike first. There are at least two Vincent experts in Japan as far as I know.

Good luck
