Rickman-Metisse Triumph 650 CR Caf?© Racer ~ 1 of 53 Factory Built

This is one of the last of 53 genuine Rickman-Metisse CR (Competition Replica) built by the Rickman factory in England. Rickman produced these as street-legal versions of their Isle of Man Production TT winning machine. Actual date of manufacture is September 1974. Registered as 1975 model. It is not a cobbled-together kit. Correct Rickman hubs. brakes. 41mm racing forks. Borrani alloy rims. all original hardware. a balanced and blueprinted Triumph T120R 650cc motor. Only 2700 original miles.

Original. unrestored. stunning. Nickel plating on frame showing some fading in some places. as expected over 40 years. Tiny ding on top of R/H silencer. Crack in lower right edge of seat vinyl. A few minor chips in edges of fiberglass but not readily visible. Fuel tank showing some surface bumps/texturing in places. but was Caswell-coated inside by previous owner. I run VP110 ethanol-free gasoline in the bike. Starts first kick and runs/shifts perfectly. Handles incredibly well with new modern Avon tyres.

Please do not ask me my reserve. You find that out by bidding. You either hit it or you don't. Clear California title in my name. Currently on non-op. No DMV back fees due. Blue California plate for display only and not associated with machine. I've described this beautiful bike to the best of my knowledge and ability. Sold as-is. Potential bidders welcome to make appointment to view in person. but no test rides. You will not be disappointed with its performance!? The crown jewel to any British bike collection.
