Métisse Motorcycles have unveiled the next exciting addition to a product range. A happy few enthusiasts will soon be able to own a replica of one of the most famous dirt bikes of the 1960s – the Rickman-Métisse Desert Racer, as originally designed and built by Steve McQueen for serious competition use. The company have faithfully reproduced McQueen’s machine and the limited-edition machines are available to order now priced at $19,500 US. Each Desert Racer will be authentically hand built by Métisse Motorcycles in the UK. The replica is fully endorsed by Steve McQueen’s family, and features his signature on each one of these exact replicas. A limited number of 300 machines will be built, complete with official certificate of authenticity from the firm which made the original possible all those years ago.
There was actually a lot to be said for the Sixties, especially compared
to now!
