What ever happened with the new Vincent Motorcycles?
As I recall, a gentleman bought the name and was going to start making them in California with a Honda v-twin engine. I've been checking around the web, and I can't find anything after 2004. Even their website doesn't have any info. Did they go under?

They didn’t go uner, they never got started. I guess they couldn’t raise the money. It sure looked beautiful and with the RC51 engine would have been great. I ended up just buying an RC51.
In 1996, a partnership was formed to launch the Australian RTV motorcycle. It used a slightly modernised reproduction Vincent engine in an Egli-style frame in capacities of 1000 cc and 1200 cc. They had electric start. After four bikes were built, the company went into voluntary liquidation towards the end of 1998.[24]
Vincent Motors USA founder and president, Bernard Li, acquired the Vincent trademarks in 1994, and formally launched Vincent Motors USA in 1998, spending about $2 million building prototypes that resemble the original Vincent, but utilising modern components, like the Honda RC51 V-twin engine. Vincent Motors is based in San Diego.
