You may have never heard of Métisse Motorcycles before, and quite frankly, neither have I until doing quite a bit of research for this piece. The British brand is a specialist when it comes to frames, and is best known for producing frame kits for British bike engines. It has established itself as quite a boutique name, catering to die-hard enthusiasts of classic two-wheelers.
With that being said, Métisse Motorcycles has unveiled quite an interesting bit of kit: the McQueen Desert Racer. As the name suggests, this bike is no ordinary machine, but rather, one that’s been inspired by the legendary Steve McQueen. It’s designed to be an exact replica of McQueen’s Metisse MK3, a bike that was personally modified by Steve McQueen himself. Métisse Motorcycles says that it’ll be making only 300 copies of this bike, each of which will come with an exclusive “Collection Certificate.” In said certificate, the owner will find the bike’s registration number, as well as an endorsement by the McQueen estate, verifying its authenticity.
