Métisse Motorcycles

[2] Lisi continues to run Métisse at his Carswell premises where the motorcycle operation is something of a sideline to the main golf course business.

[6][7] The Desert Racer uses a fully reconditioned original Meriden Triumph unit construction 650 cc 6T engine.

McQueen's actual bike had a Métisse frame and was built by his friend, the actor and stuntman Bud Ekins.

Similar to the Desert Racer, the Hammer is a version of the Métisse Mk3 Scrambler that was the iconic motorcycle used by Ilya Kuryakin in the TV series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.".

[8] The bike has a 4130 chrome-moly cradle frame with 41mm non-adjustable Ceriani forks and twin Öhlins rear shocks.
