Vincent Black Shadow description

This could be the best opportunity to own the pinnacle of vintage motorcycling.  

 

Very nice condition and runs great.  Gearbox, clutch and chassis work great.  Bike has upgraded Amal concentric carbs and I do not have the OEM carbs.  Has been in storage last 5 years as injury keep me from riding the bike any longer.  I used to ride the bike on a regular basis before it went into storage, it is solid and fun to ride.  Before listing bike, GP Motorcycles just cleaned the carbs and made sure it ran properly.  If you are planning on seriously riding it, a more thorough check over would be needed.  I have video of bike starting, running and being used just after cleaning carbs.  

 

I purchased this bike about 14 years ago and was told bike was restored in England in the 80’s.  Bike has all corresponding numbers including the original license plate  "however" The Vincent club claims the bike has been re-stamped.  For this reason, the starting bid is well below the $150,000 asking price for Black Shadow’s with perfect lineage.

Bike can be seen in person at GP Motorcycles in San Diego by appointment.  Crating is possible.

Top 10 Album Covers featuring Motorcycles

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

1 of 11Next Last   Motorcycles and rock ‘n’ roll. Ever since The King threw his leg over his ’56 Harley-Davidson and the Black Rebels rolled into Carbonville, the combination of motorcycles and rock have been as combustible as gas and spark. Early moto-rock lived for the most part on the fringes of pop music, in the pomped-up rockabilly of guys like Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent.

Behind the “Bathing Suit” Picture

Fri, 09 Jan 2009

Few motorcycle photographs are as iconic as that of the famous Bonneville “Bathing Suit Picture.” While you have undoubtedly seen this image before, you may not know the story behind it. The scantily clad and debatably crazy rider was a man by the name of Roland “Rollie” Free. The bike, often thought by many to be a Vincent Black Shadow, was in fact a Black Lightning – the fastest Vincent ever to see production.
