"Egli Vincent 1000" (c1965)
The Egli Vincent, introduced around 1965, is a legendary motorcycle that
blends the power and mystique of the Vincent engine with the innovative
frame design of Swiss engineer Fritz Egli. This extraordinary machine
was born out of Egli's desire to enhance the handling and performance of
the already iconic Vincent V-twin engine, which was known for its raw
power but also for its somewhat challenging frame geometry.
At the heart of the Egli Vincent is the 998cc Vincent engine, a beast of
a motor that delivers immense torque and power, propelling the bike to
speeds well beyond 120mph. However, what truly set the Egli Vincent
apart was Egli's tubular steel spine frame. This design was a
revolutionary departure from the original Vincent frame, providing a
significant improvement in rigidity, weight distribution, and handling.
The frame's minimalist and elegant construction not only enhanced
performance but also gave the bike a strikingly modern appearance for
its time.
The Egli Vincent quickly gained a reputation as one of the finest
motorcycles of its era, combining the classic British engineering of the
Vincent with advanced chassis dynamics. Its distinctive look,
characterized by the exposed engine, polished metalwork, and streamlined
silhouette, made it an instant classic. Today, the Egli Vincent is
revered by collectors and enthusiasts alike, celebrated as a motorcycle
that represents the pinnacle of 1960s innovation, engineering, and
style.
