Godet-Egli-Vincent Motorcycle - Full Overview And Ride

So heartening to find a detailed, well considered and detailed production on YouTube! Well done - I look forward to the movie.

I used to think the Ducati 750 sport was the most beautiful bike, but I think the Godet Vincent has to take that honour. This was a very interesting and inspiring video.

I owned the 1st Egli Godet he built (the bue one sent to Bilbao in the Guggenheim Museum we can see in the video), with a genuine 1000 cc engine from a B Rapide , wonderful bike , and Patrick let me test a 1330 Godet with 5 gear box, it was amazing ! what a wonderful bike, I miss him as a friend and as a genious mecanic (sorry for my poor English) They are the most desirable classic motorbikes (thanks to David as well)

So many Bike-builders have been inspired by Vincent .The Yamaha TR1 XV1000 was inspired by Vincent , they bought a Vincent , stripped-it and came up with their first big V-twin , it is a great bike to ride and own ,like this one Godet-Egli) it would never have existed but for Vincent . Thanks for a great vid , such beautiful machines. Dave NZ

"70 to 80 hp is ideal for a machine like this", I couldn't agree more, air cooling keeps it simple, and there's a hell of a lot more to enjoying a motorcycle ride than just trying to get to "point B" as fast as humanly possible. BEAUTIFUL, clean machines, compared to some modern motorcycles that look like full sized plastic toys. My main love was Norton Commandos, but I would have loved one of these if they had been within my means. I did enjoy a "tuber" '97 Buell, which would be the modern (90's) equivalent, that was very satisfying in the Rocky Mountains...Thanks for a very informative and nicely done video.

Losing Patrick Godet was a huge blow to the classic motorcycle world. Thanks for a great review. Dean in Oxfordshire.

Thank you so much for posting this video up. It is comforting to know that there are still film makers out in the world, who produce interesting, informative and quality content. Nowadays, when "Television" is catering to the lowest common denomination "Intellect-wise", these video films are an oasis of quality in a desert of dross!

Awesome! So beautiful! Happy to know that one can still buy a “Vincent” ! I don’t think I could afford one but still! I’m happy to know there are craftsman out there building these awesome motorcycles! TY

Both my Twins, Yamaha XV920RH and Honda VTR1000F, incorporate the engine as a stressed member inspired by Vincent. I’d love to own any Vincent, however I am very happy with my Twins :)

Great video, you're all obviously knowledgeable bike enthusiasts, l had an early 70,s Ducati 750 which had the idea of the v twin engine as an integral part of the frame, ie supported from the top of the motor,that bike looked very similar in profile and stance to the Godet Vincent, great work people 👍

That was a courageous line through that first blind bend!

Two-wheeled jewelry. To quote "Fiddler on the Roof" - "If I were a Rich Man" , I would own a couple of these beautiful motorcycles..

Thank you for this wonderful video. In my younger days I owned a black and gold Ducati 900SS with Conti exhausts and Dellorto carbs with open bellmouths. That's as close as I got to these beautiful machines. Keep up the good work.

I've been wanting that bike for 25 years! Thanks for the video because that's the closest I'll ever get to $$$. Thank you very much for the video. it was excellent!

I think this is a fantastic idea. Especially using a replica vincent engine. Bravo!! Keep em coming. Looking forward to the movie.

This channel deserves a million subscribers already !

Every decent engineer knows that the name of the game is a series of artfully made compromises. The ones on these new Vincent's seem particularly well thought out and implemented, so it's a lovely job all round, well done to all involved.

Wow what a fabulous video you have made here, a credit to all involved. They are indeed beautiful machines.

Thank you guys for putting this insightful video together. It joins up some very significant people and their technical achievements over seven decades; a New Zealander, Phil Irving, in the late '40s through to a very clever Frenchman, M. Godet (RIP). Lovely machines, knowledgeable commentary and raw enthusiam...a great channel!

excellent overview of the Godet -Eg;li - Vincent, but leaves us chomping at the bit for the release of 'Speed is Expensive', this surely must be up there with 'films that were longest in production'.
