Metisse Triumph-Steve Mcqueen version

"Complete bikes are ready to order now utilising a fully reconditioned period Triumph 650cc twin cylinder engine complete with a single Amal carburettor.
Faithfully built encompassing the ideals employed by Steve McQueen all those years ago. These include styled footrests made to his original design, 35mm Ceriani forks, with seven inches of travel which he found to be the optimum. The yokes are from BSA being his preference because of the handlebar position, set behind the steering stem for better control.
This Desert Racer faithfully adopts a Mk III chrome-moly, nickel plated, oil bearing frame. Chromed steel wheel rims, period chromed exhausts, scramble rear tyre, trials front tyre, Amal competition levers & twist grip. A period Triumph front hub with BSA rear, along with an authentic colour coded tank, seat and panels complete the specification.
This bike is sold in its original form as a thoroughbred competition racer."
They have a street legal version with lights as well. 300 lb dry wt.
Just $20k + shipping from the UK will put one in your garage before they are gone. Only 300 to be built and they are now on #289
The color is OD Green with clearcoat gloss.

Yep, he sure was.
I loved that side arm he carried in the show "Wanted dead or alive".
My kind of gun.

I drove some of the streets in San Fransisco that Steve McQueen drove the Mustang in the movie Bullet.
No matter how hard I pushed, I just couldn't get my "64 VW Bus to jump like his Mustang.

That is a cool looking bike. Although they are two different senses.....it "looks" like it will be "LOUD".

Steve used to race cross country races under a false name. He didn't act like your typical star, especially the ones they have this day and age.
