[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 134142, member: 58"] I have never come across any relationship between Vincent HRD in UK & Standard in Germany and if there was I'm sure it would have been written about. The 1920's & 30's was a time of innovation and dare a say it, copying of designs and there is a lot of different manufacturers bikes from that time period that on initial appearance look similar due to a lot of manufacturers sourcing engines from third party engine manufacturers. JAP engines were used by a lot of motorcycle manufacturers. Vincent used them as well a Rudge (Python) engines and also tried a few others engine suppliers. This all stopped with the introduction of the series A Vincent engine. Simon [/QUOTE]
