Rapide-Powered Vincent Comet

The vehicle in question is a 1948 Vincent Comet motorcycle. This unique British classic features a distinctive Powered by Rapide designation, indicating its engine has been upgraded to the prestigious 998cc V-twin from a Vincent Rapide model. Notably, this isn't an original configuration but a meticulous project undertaken by the current seller, who acquired it in 2010 and invested considerable effort into its restoration. The engine was overhauled, the frame powder-coated, and the brightwork cadmium-plated for enhanced durability and aesthetics. Stainless-steel hardware was installed throughout for added robustness. Currently based in Lexington, Massachusetts, this rare Vincent Comet is a testament to enthusiast passion and painstaking craftsmanship, now active on Bring A Trailer with a current bid of $27,500.
