An iconic machine of the era

Founded in 1959 by Derek and Don Rickman, Metisse Motorcycles quickly developed a name for off-road excellence with their custom frame designs for British engines that led to wins in the Moto Cross des Nations as well as 250cc and 500cc GP motocross championships. The British company's success soon expanded into road racing as well, but they were best known in the US for desert racing prowess thanks to vocal support from legends like Bud Ekins and Steve McQueen. In fact, McQueen himself it “the best handling bike I’ve ever owned!”

This is one of the 300 examples of the Métisse Steve McQueen Desert Racer that will ever be made. It was developed by the Métisse Motorcycles team along with Chad McQueen (Steve McQueen’s late son), and Dave Ekins (the brother of Bud Ekins). 300 are officially licensed by the McQueen estate, and they only rarely come up for sale. Purchased as a new machine directly from Mr Lisi as a retirement present by the current vendor, he has covered just over 300 miles since it was purchased and has cherished it since in his ownership. It comes with paperwork, a current V5C, sales literature and a book on the history of the Rickman Brothers and the Metisse story. The vendor fitted a genuine Lucas headlight as he wanted it in Black.
