Owning one is an opportunity most will only dream about. The first true superbike, the Vincent Black Shadow was so far ahead of its time in styling and technology its easy to see how it retains such a following today. Capable of speeds in excess of 125 mph in stock form and on the morning of September 13, 1948, broke the land speed record with a speed of 150.313 mph the performance of this motorcycle is impressive even by today's standards. At the production numbers of just over 1700 the Black Shadow was a rare motorcycle in its day, now most will only be able to see photos. By using features such as using the engine as a stressed member, aluminum girder forks and a patented rear suspension the bikes lightweight and excellent handling complemented the engine's broad power curve to provide the rider with a truly unique experience rivaled by no other motorcycle at the time. Vehicle History/Condition :Its owner prior to 2003 had this Black Shadow restored by renowned Vincent specialist Mike White from Canada, where he worked on it for many years. It exchanged ownership very briefly before being sold to one of the most recognizable names accompanied by Vincent-Motorcycles, Herb Harris in September 2003. Herb then sold it to whom its current owner bought it from, the late Bud Lyons who is known for the Lyons Family Collection of Cars and Bikes. Its current owner first learned about the Vincent Shadow from Sports Car Market Letter as it was advertised by Paul Russel, a reliable representative known for selling vehicles from the Bud Lyons Collection. He then went on to complete the purchase for the Vincent the very next day. It was then stored in a climate-controlled garage until 2012 when it was titled. He wanted to leave the bike in as close to perfect condition as possible so only enjoyed about 50 miles on it. It was then brought to Mark Allen's Rear Drive and had him review and make adjustments to the whole bike. During this time as many months go by and over $10,000 spent on improvements the bike was Perfect. In 2017 the owner made the decision to start prepping the Motorcycle for sale, and what better place to bring it to than Herb Harris himself being the go-to-vincent shop and prior owner. After another $10k worth of improvements, the bike was in top running condition both cosmetic and mechanical. Specifications/Value Added Improvements: Engine no.
