[QUOTE="Mike 40M, post: 100992, member: 3599"] I think that Vincents are the best classic motorcycle there is for a restorer/rider. The huge amount of technical information readily available. All the help you can get from club members. The almost complete supply of spare parts. If you really want a concours bike with all correct parts, you might find some small items hard to find. If you want a pleasant classic touring bike for long trips, possibly with some modern improvements, a Vincent is as close to perfect you can get. My young race mechanic had to borrow a bike once to get to the racetrack. As it was quite far away, he took the Comet instead of a Ninja or a GSXR offered, as he thought it more comfortable. [/QUOTE]
