Certainly not my style; but for what it is...

I think it looks incredible, especially the flow of the tank and seat.

Definitely not an OCC project, that's for sure.

I doubt they (though its possible) actually did that to a Vincent. My guess is they came across an engine or (more likely) they bought an engine from elgi specifically for it.

Its well executed but (as its not my taste) I think its a bit of a waste of a superb classic engine. Assuming the bike actually exists in any other form than pixels.

Vincents are pretty rare. If they did that to an original then yes they should be shot. Plus its a blardy daft thing to do. Vincents in unmolested condition are worth a few bob these days.

If they did it to a homeless replica motor well at least its different from a Harly clone Engined Chopper. From the headstock back its quite pretty but the rake is just the sort of thing a real dumbass thinks is cool. put a proper front end on and it'd be nice.

Almost has to be photoshopped, doesn't it? Could you really attach the front forks to the tank like that, or doesn't it have a tank? And there really isn't much of a frame I can see, unless that bit that looks like a tank is really the frame. Or it's possible that I just don't get "modern art."

Nothing is sacred about any motorcycle, auto, or boat....get over it...whether it's real or imaginary, a little thought had to go into the creation, and for that it is worthwhile. When one makes the payments on a motorcycle, THEN they can say how it should look. :-D :-D

Gotta agree its a terrible thing to do to a Vincent. And here in blairs jungle they are semi sacred objects of desire and reminders of a bygone age etc.
But consider. If the engine came from a norvin or an egli framed bike then the engine had already had its nuts cut off. To hacksaw off part of such an iconic engine should have been a crime from day one. Too late now.

Still looks ***** tho :animad: :cuss: :animad:
