The Egli-Vincent is a renowned motorcycle that combines the powerful Vincent engine with a custom frame designed by Swiss engineer Fritz Egli. In the 1960s, Egli sought to improve the handling of the Vincent motorcycles by developing a unique large-diameter central tube frame, enhancing rigidity and performance. Egli’s innovative design gained acclaim for its ability to harness the Vincent engine’s power more effectively, leading to superior handling and stability. This combination resulted in a motorcycle celebrated for both its engineering excellence and riding experience. In the 1990s, French engineer Patrick Godet, passionate about Egli’s work, began producing authorized continuations of the Egli-Vincent. Godet’s meticulous craftsmanship earned praise, with Egli himself endorsing these machines as authentic representations of his original vision. Today, the Egli-Vincent remains a sought-after classic, embodying a blend of historical significance and exceptional engineering. Its legacy continues to influence motorcycle design and is cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
