Harley-Davidson stressed performance in its advertising for its new Model ML Rapido in 1968, though an even more elemental attribute of the machine was its simplicity. The electrical system provided only headlight and tail light illumination, and it used a flywheel magneto for ignition. This motorcycle weighed 173 pounds and had a 46-inch wheelbase.
Aermacchi-Harley-Davidson constructed roughly 5,000 ML Rapidos for the 1968 model year. The black & silver example sold new for $395.
