Think Vincent USA. Powered by Honda.

Enter Bernard Li, an entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry, who acquired the Vincent trademark in 1994 and is the president of Vincent Motors, which is based in San Diego. A design and engineering team has given form to Mr. Li's idea of the modern Vincent and with the help of Roush Industries, four running prototypes were unveiled at his house in Ranch Santa Fe in early October. With a styling blend giving a nod to the early days of the Vincent, form is uniquely combined with modern design and components. Carbon fiber gas tank, fenders, fairing and chain guard, LCD instrumentation, USD forks, a cantilever-style monoshock rear suspension with multi-adjustable shock and Brembo brakes all say that the new Vincent is ready for the modern world. A black, round tube, triangulated frame holds not only the motor, but the oil as well.

Now that is what I call a V-Twin.

I'm drooling... my drool is drooling...

This is stillborn. Mr. Li was killed, I believe in 2008. And Honda stopped RC51 motor sales to Mondial and Vincent as well.

Yeah, I thought so. Wasn't sure. Vincent still has a website up.

http://www.vincentmotors.com/

edit: ok, the website is selling t-shirts and hats and not much else... so sad...
