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:

If you thought Arnold Schwarzenegger’s greatest role was in Terminator, then you should make your way to Milwaukee: The Harley-Davidson Museum has acquired one of the few surviving 1990 Harley-Davidson FatBoy motorcycles used in the filming of Terminator 2: Judgement Day. At the time of filming, the FatBoy was one of Harley-Davidson’s newest models, and the one now in the Museum’s permanent collection was ridden by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 action classic. “Terminator 2 is an iconic film and a celebrated piece of pop culture history,” said Jim Fricke, Curatorial director of the Harley-Davidson Museum.
