Vence prodigal bikes

“Eagle & Wing”

From an old tank of a Honda CB 400 Super Sport, comes the idea of revive the misunderstood “little chopper” of Mandello del Lario, defunct more than a decade in the corner of a box.

Free from any puristic dictates and driven by the desire to go beyond traditional shapes, we re-dress the little twin cylinder in a “New-Brat” style, animating the essential architecture of the V50 “short stroke” hidden under the only models V35 Florida and NTX.

All this is consistent with the mission of VENCE – Prodigal Bikes
…Simple, dynamic, daily,
and with a timeless style
…Stay tuned
