My own Rapide is modernised for modern Uk riding conditions and performs nearly as well as my ultra modern retro T120 ( which even sounds like a v twin) a superb bike but skimped build quality especially compared to a Vincent. The Bonnie is under engineered in trivial areas i.e. mudguards which is just penny, pinching as much as a vincent is generously over engineered.
This ultra cool concept has some excellent ingredients (Hub centre etc) but needs to to show its heritage more as in this the BonnieT120 excels . The seating looks ghastly and it needs some sort of cockpit ? I look forward to developments

The Vincent Rapide was a Tourer, the Vincent Black Shadow was a Grand Tourer. I could not imagine touring on a contraption like this. a 202 Vincent should be a standard motorcycle of superior performance, comfort and touring abilities.
