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:

Feeling trapped within the crippling grasp of winter? The Harley-Davidson Museum is helping to warm things up with Winter Chillabration, running now until the end of February. One of the many highlights is the giant XR1200 Harley-Davidson Sportster that has been hand-carved from ice and snow by the USA Snow Sculpting Team, on the corner of 5th and Canal Streets.

Historically speaking, the kinds of places that have openly accepted or invited motorcycle enthusiasts and their bikes were lacking in a number of areas. While they may have been convenient and offered motorcycle-friendly amenities, they did so with little comfort or luxury. On the other hand, accommodations on the higher end of the spectrum were pretentious and inconvenient for storing bikes and gear.
