The Vincent Black Shadow is a name that resounds whenever classic
bikes are discussed. The Vincent company were already advertising
their existing Rapide machine as 'The world's fastest production
motorcycle' when, in February 1948, the Black Shadow was announced
with a then unbelievable top speed of 125 mph on pool petrol. It's
no wonder that the bike has been a constant source of fascination
since that announcement. Few, however, have defined exactly what
comprised a Black Shadow and how today you can spot a genuine one.
The Vincent Black Shadow explains how the model was originally
conceived in secrecy, its development and subsequent production,
discussing in depth those features it shares in common with the
other Vincent models and those that differentiate it. Charting the
details of the changes introduced in its production life and the
modifications in the interests of speed or improved road
performance that may have been done to it by generations of owners
over the sixty-odd years since production ceased, Tim Kingham
offers a lavishly illustrated and essential read for any fan of
this iconic bike.
