[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 2775, member: 456"] You are correct Len, that is why I still ride one and see no need for a modern bike although I do have indicators and an alternator fitted. However, even the two Phils could not work 60 years ahead and if Siril the Syclone is used to modern bikes he will have to decide whether the Vincent's idiosyncracies are for him. As far as I am concerned given a fully sprung rear end, modern electrics and a bit more movement on the front end then I could want for nothing more but I guess that riders in their twenties, used to 150+ BHP and disc brakes would not be so enamoured. Best wishes :) [/QUOTE]
