Detailed Information
Type: Private
Price: $24,000
Location: Jersey City, NJ
Condition: Used
Year: 1951
1951 VINCENT RAPIDE Series C pulled out of long term storage This is a very rare example of a Touring specification Rapide.
It has been stored for the better part of the last 30 years inside. The engine turns over and has compression. No attempt has been made to start the bike. It is a matching numbers bike -see photos of the UFM (upper frame
member), RFM (rear frame member) and engine being 1900 numbers apart. The right engine case has been replaced at some time during its history. It is missing the speedo and rear stand, and the fenders are incorrect, but it is otherwise complete. The correct Miller generator is included with the bracket-see photo.
This motorcycle was originally supplied to Indian Sales Corp. of San Francisco in May, 1951 according to factory records. It is a touring specification with raised handlebars, steel fenders, 19" front and 18" rear wheel. Tires are a Firestone front and Dunlop rear with lots of tread, however, they are older and must be replaced prior to any road use. This bike could
be used as-is cosmetically, however it would benefit from a restoration. The paint is original on the frame. The red tank and fender paint is shiny but has flaws. The headlight lens is cracked.
Sharp eyes may notice the left rear brake drum is from a Black Shadow-no big deal, but I thought I'd point it out. If you have any questions, please ask.
