Don`t get me wrong, I'm sure that the Falcon Vincent is functional, but anyone willing to spend the kind of money required to pay for the time and material in the build to buy it will likely do so as an art statement rather than ride the thing other than to parade.
I just believe that bikes are meant to be ridden. Vehicle, toy, sport article, call it what you will. If they are too pretty or valuable they tend not to get used.
I'm curious to see what they do with the Norton mill. I should hope that it will be more reasonable with expenses and be a good runner.
On a side note I had some Vincent connecting rods in my hands the other day and can`t get over how heavy they were.
