A seriously interesting machine here - some of you might remember us mentioning it around 18 months ago. Well, the wait is over… it’s now finished and ready to go.
This is a Rickman Metisse, believed to be the only one ever built with a Rotax engine, created by the legendary Pat French of Rickman.
Originally commissioned by a UK diplomat, the bike was destined for life in Africa and was shipped out new in 1988. As the story goes, the wiring and a few final details were never fully completed, as it was simply used and enjoyed as it was!
Fast forward to today, it’s now fully finished and ready for its next chapter with a new owner.
Not just rare - this is a true one-off.
