Description: From the age of 18, Simon Leake dreamed of owning his very own Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle. Now in his 60s, he’s had the opportunity to do just that. But this isn’t any old Vincent; using the now legendary motor as his base, he’s designed a bespoke custom creation to bring the old Bonneville legend up modern standards. And in doing so, he’s not only exploring the full potential of the original engine, but he’s also wrapped it in the best modern engineering money can buy. Using the coach-building skills of Sydney's MotorRetro, combined with many decades of Vincent experience from local moto legend Terry Prince, this 21st Century Black Shadow could arguably be considered the mythical marque’s ultimate incarnation.
