XXXX Rudge Tourist XXXcc

Engine #: TXXX
Frame #: XXXXX

Motorcycle manufacturers from XXXX to XXXX, Rudge were renowned for their championing of the four-valves-per-cylinder engine layout, employing it for the first time on XXX in XXXX. The Rudge XXX was unusual for its day in having coil rather than magneto ignition, though the latter became optional later. two-valve Tourist XXX joined the range for XXXX; becoming the Rapid the following year when the model adopted the marque's characteristic coupled brakes. With the deletion of the four-valver, the Rapid became the sole XXX (a Sports version with high-level exhaust was added for XXXX) and the only Rudge to retain the left-side gear pedal to the end. ?�?

The bike offered here has been languishing in shed since XXXX when the owner purchased it from Brian Slark of the Barber Museum and formerly Norton Villiers, who presumably brought it here from the UK. ?�?

The machine is pretty rare bike even in the UK, so this is great opportunity to acquire more or less complete example of rare, one-year model and know that it is likely to be the only one at any concours or rally. Ride it as is for the preservation award, or restore it to its former glory. Sold on Bill of Sale
