[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 43025, member: 302"] Of course a Yamaha Virago is not a Vincent, but its close relation, the Yamaha TR1 920 is probably the closest that you will get in a modern (1984) reincarnation at a fraction of the cost, apocryphal stories abound that Yamaha, recognizing what a fantastic motorcycle the Vincent really was, set about reproducing an updated version of the open Series D Vincent, with a few refinements such as electric start, an excellent fully enclosed rear chain running in moly oil, engine as a stressed member, rear monoshock suspension etc.etc. I picked up my low mileage, mint condition example for £850.00, it is not a Vincent but it is a fine motorcycle without the cachet. Happy Days [/QUOTE]
