They’re based on the 100-or-so originals produced in Switzerland by Fritz Egli in the late 60s and early 70s
and the appeal is just as strong today as it was four decades ago
Godet offers two variations on the Egli-Vincent
a single-seater Café Racer model and a twin-seat Sport GT
Both use a Black Shadow air-cooled 50º V twin specification engine and weigh around 172 kg (378 lbs); the difference is mostly in the bodywork and the trim
It’s worth noting that Godet Motorcycles are not restorations
created using new components that are faithful to the original Vincent specifications
A Godet/Egli-Vincent was featured in the Guggenheim’s Art of The Motorcycle exhibition; what I’d give to have one in my garage
