Congratulations to Mark Abrahams of New York City for winning Bike of the Month with his 1968 Egli-Vincent.
Mark won a plaque provided by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys.
Mark recently bought this bike which was built in France by Patrick Godet.
This is sort of a new build/restoration.
The chromoly frame is tagged as a 1968 designed by Fritz Egli
the engine is from Vincent Black Shadow which was in production from 1948–1955. The engine
has been bored to 1330cc, and Mark says the bike only weighs 310 pounds.
