60-Years-Family-Owned 1953 Vincent Rapide Series C

This 1953 Vincent Rapide Series C, originally manufactured in England but now located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (R3M 0E2), is a rare gem of motorcycle history. Having been part of the same family for over six decades, this vintage speedster boasts distinctive gold pinstripes adorning its black finish, making it stand out among classic bikes. Powered by a robust 998cc OHV V-twin engine mated to a four-speed transmission, this Rapide Series C delivers an authentic vintage ride experience. Its modifications include a modern Podtronics voltage regulator and a Koni damper for improved reliability and handling respectively. Currently active and available on Bring A Trailer with no reserve, it has garnered significant attention, reaching a bid of $44,444 just shy of its late-July auction close date.
