Yes, think it'll remain a "nice to look at" rather than own one.

I prefer the Vindian in the motorcycle classics mag.

There's a book out right now about the building of that bike. That was built by Big Sid(one of the top vincent tuners in the world). His son wrote a book about his father and the bike. Great Read so far.
