Métisse Desert Racer


This is a replica of the bike owned and used by Steve McQueen for competitive racing, faithfully reproduced by hand and fully authorised by the McQueen estate.

In terms of technical details, it offers up a fully-reconditioned period Triumph TR6 engine (complete with single Amal carburettor), styled footrests, 35mm Ceriani forks, a Mk III chrome-moly, nickel plated, oil bearing frame and authentic colour coded tank, seat and panels.

Just 300 are being made, all sold with a framed and embossed certificate of authenticity and McQueen signature on the tank badge. You can order now, with a price around $32,000.
