I've got my order in ;D
Excuse my ignorance, but were they a fairly tall bike for the era, or is that a circus midget riding it in the video?

This is a beautifully executed con to cash in on Steve McQueens name. Jerry Lisi scammed control of Metisse Motorcycles http://www.metisse-motorcycles.com/ (http://www.metisse-motorcycles.com/)from the late Pat French and now he's trying to suck in gullible and rich American "collectors" by producing a "Steve McQueen Replica" which is nothing other than your bread and butter Triumph Metisse fitted with a set of ape hanger desert bars and a gunmetal grey paint job. At nearly $26,500 Aussie dollars it's at least twice the price of a non McQueen Metisse and I reckon my own Triumph Metisse project will come in for under 8k and be equally, if not better equipped. Steve McQueen would be disgusted.

better cancel my order then :D

That's marketing for ya - and those are big dollars!
It looks nice & sounds nice, but unless your last name is Trump, Hilton or Rothschild, who can afford it? :-\

Hi
Oggy Doggy, love your optimism, build a Triumph Rickman Metisse for under $8000!, I built a Pat French (MRD) Triumph 650 Metisse, I must have f*****d up big time with the money I ended up spending, give us an idea what you are going to spend $ 8000 on.
