750cc – 1974 Rickman Metisse

In England, Off-Road by AbhiLeave a Comment

Earlier this month, the National Hare and Hound Championship added a class called the Hooligan Open presented by Scrambler Ducati – it’s for “750cc and above off-road-forward street motorcycles” and “embraces the classic “On Any Sunday” pure joy of riding and racing a motorcycle.” For context, Ducati’s obviously competing with a Scrambler Desert Sled, while KTM has brought out a 790 Adventure R. Who wants to show them up with a classic?

Typically, you’ll see Rickman Metisse frames stuffed with Triumph 650 motors, but this has a 750cc 5-speed (right side shift) out of a T140 Bonnie with a TR7 head. Other upgrades include Works Performance shocks and a Honda XL350 front end in Betor triple clamps (original Betor forks and Rickman wheel/hub included).

Find this Rickman for sale in Sparks, Nevada for $10,995 here on Craigslist.
