Métisse Motorcycles - Steve McQueen Desert Racer

Steve McQueen's Desert Racer motorcycle is to be built and sold in the UK. The Métisse Desert Racer, a replica of one of McQueen's own bikes that he adapted with Bud Ekins - will be made by Oxfordshire-based Métisse Motorcycles. The frames are chrome-moly nickel plated and the motorcycles have a fully reconditioned period Triumph TR6 engine.

“The Desert Racer is such an iconic motorcycle that when I took over Métisse via the Rickman brothers, I was determined to bring it back into production and use traditional methods to ensure that it is as close to the original bike as possible," said Lisi

The Métisse Desert Racer was unveiled at Motorcycle World at Beaulieu last year. The first buyer of the £13,000 bike was Steve McQueen’s son Chad.
