Vincent Motorcycle

This is a circa 1950 model Vincent, considered by many as the fastest production motorcycle of it's time. There are two caps on top of the fuel tank. The left cap is the fuel fill, the center cap is the oil reservoir. (05.15.04)

David believes that this is a 1950, '52 or '53 model Vincent and that the "H-R-D" logo painted on the fuel tank would not have been on this motorcycle when new. In 1950 Vincent discontinued use of HRD because of confusion with the American Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson. (05.15.04)
