Bultaco Metisse.

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.

Hey, I resemble that remark 
I like my little poorly built ripoff M11 !
Cheers,

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.

Make it go for 8 kilometers not 4  before it shites itself:D

Not a bad idea at all Firko.
Cheers,

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
