[QUOTE="Josh Smith, post: 145676"] I’m sure there’s space for me to do that in the flat I’m staying in ;). With reference to Bob’s Rapide, for one, I am very much looking forward to eventually riding a ‘proper’ Vincent in January (i.e. one that isn’t 98cc!). Purely based on riding pillion on a Vincent since I was 6; given the choice of a more modern bike and a Vincent for comfort, a modern bike wins with flying colours. For pleasure, character and uniqueness however, a Vin is your best friend. A Rapide is still a very useable bike even in 2021, great for motorways and faster-paced rides but still just fine in slower traffic (albeit slightly frustrating in stop-start traffic). Josh [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
Verification
The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
