The Vincent Comet C can almost be said to represent the ultimate stage in the development of the production engine 500ccm. Its successor, the series Vincent D was certainly designed, but the decision to cease motorcycle production in 1955 meant that officially, only one Vincent Comet D was built although a few more were built up from spares during 1956th.
The Comet made its post war reappearance in 1949 and many of the components were common to the Rapide. The frame and forks were near enough identical and the engine being virtually half a Rapide. More specs and user manual of Vincent Comet you can see in next overview.
