1969 Harley-Davidson Rapido

Up for sale is a really cool 1969 Harley Davidson Rapido. I don't know much about the bike, but it runs great and has an awesome look to it. If you have found this ad, you may have more information on it than I do. I purchased it to use as a decoration piece in my man cave, but to be honest it is too nice to just hang up on the wall since it runs. I would hope that someone would buy it an potentially use it! It was in the Stone Mountain GA Harley Davidson museum for most of its life. It has 1102 miles on it. You could restore it, or just use it like it is. I think it looks great!

Here are some details on the bike from the internet:

In its first quarter 2014 financial report, Harley-Davidson reported a 5.8% increase in motorcycle sales including 3.0% in the U.S.

Billie Leo Standley died last weekend from lung cancer, but before he died, the 82-year-old wished for the world to know he was going to ride off to heaven. To accomplish this wish, Standley and his family made arrangements for him to buried in a Plexiglas casket riding his 1967 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. Warning: A graphic photograph of Standley in his casket can be viewed on the Dayton Daily Times website.
