The Vincent Black Shadow has innovations that other manufacturers took decades to copy. However this came at a very high purchase price. "The inspiration for the Black Shadow was RAF pilots flying over the factory, and soldiers serving in the war. The designers created a motorcycle that could be operated and maintained by men who had been injured in combat. The clutch could be operated with just two fingers, and maintenance was made far easier than anything previously available." - Wikipedia.
