Title: Bultaco Metisse.
Post by: firko on July 21, 2008, 06:43:53 pm

Seeing I've lately been a bit successful at finding some rare and exotic cheapies, I'll spread the love and pass this along to someone who may be interested in an extremely rare Bultaco Metisse. This isn't one of those poorly built ripoff M11 Bultaco Metisse clones. It's a real Rickman, welded up by Derek and Don themselves. It's rough and you'd have to find an engine but they only made 100 of these with Bully 4 speed engines. If you didn't want the dramas of a concourse resto, it'd be a good frame for any centre port 2 stroke engine like a DT1 Yamaha which Rickman made a few of. You could even fit a 500 unit Triumph in this frame as I did a few years ago.

Marky, Yours was of course built by the legenary Wing Commander Biggles which excludes it from all criticism from me after Biggles legal team threatened court action over my refusal to call it a Metisse. I reckon you should buy that Brit Metisse and convert it all over, thereby turning a 4k bike into an 8k bike.

Hey Firko,
Would a 350 Ducati motor squeeze into one of those 2 stroke Rickman frames? and would it be pre- 65 legal?
Just curious :P
