A 83.8mm [[bore]] x 83.8mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 998.0 cubic centimeters. 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 4 Speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multiplate. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 3x20 front [[tire]] and a 3.50x19 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via Twin drum in the front and a Drum in the rear. The front suspension was a  Vincent Girdraulic forks, 3" travel while the rear was equipped with a Cantilever rear springing. The wheelbase was 56.5 inches (1435 mm) long. 
 
==1935 - 1955 Vincent Hrd SERIES A RAPIDE==
 
Legend says that Phil Irving, the Vincent chief-engineer, accidentally placed a wrong side up tracing of the Vincent 500 motor on top of an equally sized drawing of the same motor in such a manner that it formed a V-Twin. Moving it so that it would fit, resulted in the 47.5 degrees V-twin, which produced 45HP. Produced between 1935-1955, the 998cc Series A Rapide Vincent was capable of 110 miles per hour.
