[QUOTE="Bracker1, post: 8700, member: 922"] The Norvin parts bundle looked fair value at 13,000. My question is why are replica parts and cobbled together bitsa bikes made from these replica parts worth anything near a complete "factory" bike. It's true some are engineered and assembled with great detail, but a stock Honda sports bike runs, stops, and performs better at a fraction of the cost. If the intent is to ride a Vincent engined vehicle, than buy a Vincent, or original Vincent engined machine. Replicas ,however faithful to the original, never will be as good as the real thing. Anyone would take the original AC Cobra over the new engineered Cobra replicas. Motorcycles should be no different. That includes all the replica Crockers, Indians, etc . I'll make the exception for the Godet, I consider that a continuation of the Egli and just plain gorgeous. Safe riding, Dan [/QUOTE]
