Vincent Motorcycles remains one of the most prestigious brands of manufacturers of British bikes. They came to be when Phil Vincent bought the name and rights to HRD in 1928. HRD Motors Ltd was an established British motorcycle manufacturer in the early 1920's. It was founded by Howard Raymond Davies who had worked in motorcycling and had raced with some success. HRD motorcycles were produced for a limited time from 1924 to 1928. They had a very good reputation for performance but the undercapitalised company struggled to survive. As HRD was an established brand Phil Vincent capitalised on their name by incorporated it in to his new company 'The Vincent HRD Company Ltd'. Vincent survived until 1955 when the company discontinued motorcycle production after experiencing financial losses.
