My mom learned how to ride on a Harley 125cc Rapido 125 at 40yo.

That 2-stroke Italian piece of sheit was a torqey unforgiving little bastard and she fell a number of times.



She got the bug after I got my 1st bike at 17; a BSA Lightning (55 years ago).



Dad was very worried about her, so he got them a pair of 360 Hondas (sold the Rapido), and they rode together, even taking trips together.



Mom's 95 now and doesn't ride any more.   Grin

Wow, my first true "motorcycle" I guess.  Sold my Cushman Eagle to buy the Sprint.  This was back in the mid 60's.  Rode that thing into the ground.  Had no idea about the need to maintain it!!!  Gave it to my brother when I left for the Army, but he never rode it.  Finally gave it to a cousin.  Crude and rude, but a tough little bike.  NO, don't want another one.

As usual HD is late to the table. Almost all motorcycle manufacturers have been producing small cc bikes for the general masses for decades and with the market share going to that area, HD wants in.

Absolutely nothing I'd be interested in from HD, but that's pretty much the same for me with all their motorcycles.

They do provide some nice clothes and accessories though.

I still have a few nice silkscreen Harley T shirts from long ago.  I'm never going to wear one riding my Valks, and they're too nice for work clothes, so they sit in the back of my bottom dresser drawer.

Could they mount the exhaust pipe any higher on the HD Rapido ?  Looks like it would burn the seat not to mention your thigh.  I've ridden many high pipe bikes, enduro/scrambler style but never recall a pipe mounted that high.
