  • It's a lovely bike! glad to see it's now in use! they were so expensive new, and that is why they are no longer made. now they are more expensive to buy and are a play thing. shame really.

  • I got to ride one one time when I was about 14 and for a young lad that age with all that

    power I had trouble handling it but wow wish I had one now and I am 70 LOL

  • I just saw a vid of one that was auctioned for 105 thousand dollars in vegas. did you know they are very valuable?

  • @dale3858 here is the video...

    VINCENT BLACK SHADOW AUCTION LAS VEGAS

  • I know someone who owns a black shadow. Stowed away in the basement, never used.

  • @YouFreakinTroll Find out where that basement is. Go there. Steal it. Vincents are meant to be ridden, you'd be doing her a favour (:

  • Beautiful bike! thanks for sharing this video!

  • My older brothers were into bikes, not me so much. In the '70's, they restored a 1954 Harley that was sort of found in boxes like this Vincent. It was a beauty, but one day outside a beach-side restaurant in Malibu where bikers used to hang out, we saw a Vincent parked alongside the Harleys and a couple of Nortons. My brothers froze at the sight of a Vincent and so I froze too. It was like they'd just seen Jesus. One of my childhood memories.

  • my dream bike!

  • @Sibs1990 I never really was a girl who liked girls stuff Lol. My gagare is full of old stuff

  • that is soo valuable

  • The most beautifull bike ever build! I'm dreaming of one since I was a little girl.

  • Do NOT ever sell it. These bikes are legends. Treat it like a family member and pass it down through generations. Wonderful bike! The world's first "Super bike"!!

  • i live in hitchin, work in stevenage, and i love the vincent and the history in the town and the fact that the vincent has such a following all over the world.

  • Nothing sounds like a vincent, but a vincent. My father owned these as a young man, then bought and restored them when they were un loved. I spent my childhood surrounded by vincent!, from the bit n pieces being worked on to the stories of his youth, RIP dad, you live on in these lovely memories that are vincent.

  • If there was a machine people would accept that you have sex with... The Vincent Black Shadow is the one.

  • Said red Molly to James that's a fine motor bike a girl couldn't feel special on any other bike! Said James to Red Molly my hats off to you it's a Vincent black lighting 1952! These are song lyrics to one of my fav bluegrass bands. Nice bike

  • i love this bike

  • Some of the best and worst ever produced in the UK in that vid!!

    Cheers

  • A truly magnificent machine! It's great to see another work of art brought back from the dead.

    I like the shift pattern, lift up for first, the same as my Norton Atlas.

  • Jeez what a sound - like music to my ears.

    My mate had a Norvin with a Slimline F'bed frame, I rode it once. I guess i'm lucky to come that close.

  • Wow!!! Great!!!

  • @robbieroo21

    Not at all silly.

  • what a thing to find in your garage! awesome!

  • its realy funny the police found my wifes body in boxes in the freezer..sadly l didnt have a" black shadow" to escape on.

  • I had my shadow at 21 and still ride it today now 44 it still is a superb pose . It is quicker than my Harleys and handles a lot better too

  • @robbieroo21, How is your comment silly? I remember having a book on bikes as a kid & in it was a 63 black shadow, beautiful bike...I think its fantastic that the right people found this bike & treated it with the respect it deserved!

    I have 2 brothers who ride & both say, old bits of crap, they leaked oil etc etc...I say they have class & besides where do they think modern bikes evolved from?! The old bikes have a class, feel & sound that modern bikes don't have, & its history! Cheers.

  • @anzac2404 Sorry to spiol your dream but Vincent ceased production in Dec. 1955. I admire your respect for the older bikes, at least they were repairable without having to replace major components, As an old Vincent owner and racer all I can say is "Yes they were the Rolls Royce of motor cycles" keep on loving them

  • great. Love this bike and the band called The Vincent Black Shadow. Check them out on youtube

  • Thank you for restoring this wonderful piece of engineering history. Takes me back to my youth!

  • love these old bikes. the Vincent Black Shodow, the Brough Superior. nothing beats a great vintage bike
