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:

It’s no surprise, as we’ve already seen the spy photos and California Air Resources Board documents, but Harley-Davidson has officially introduced its new Freewheeler trike, adding a second three-wheeled model to go with the Tri Glide Ultra Classic. Whereas the Tri Glide is designed for touring needs, the Freewheeler is more of a cruiser with 12-inch mini-ape-hanger handlebars and bobtail fenders. Up front is a seven-piece nacelle with a dual halogen lamp mounted tight to the 49mm telescopic fork and frame.

Granted, flat track racing isn’t our specialty at MO, but we’re no doubt fans of the action. See our coverage from the 2012 season finale for proof. The following is from an AMA Pro Racing press release: A total of 15 races over eight months couldn’t separate Jared Mees and Bryan Smith by much.

Just look at this motorcycle for a moment. A creation of the German Motorcycle Authority, the TwinTrax is nearly 107 inches long, weighs 882 pounds, and took owner/builder Christoph Madaus 12 years to complete. Oh, and don’t forget the two Harley-Davidson V-Twins powering this thing.
