Vincent

If Rolls Royce had made motorcycles this is how they would have looked.

When Phillip Vincent purchased HRD from Earnest Humphries in 1928 for 450 pounds it is unlikely he could have imagined the reverence in which his machines would be held ninety years later.

The Vincent was ahead of its time in design with twin shock cantilever suspension and the engine forming an integral part of the frame. The Vincent is celebrated in song by Richard Thompson and immortalized in photography with Rollie Free’s 1948 near naked land speed record attempt being one of the most recognized motorcycle photos of the 20th century.
