    New Metisse?

    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

    Not deal breaker ugly.
    More you'd have to be sure out made up for those looks with something special.
    The motor is a thing of beauty.

    I think the world has moved on from British Racing Green.
    It would probably look stunning in red.

    Not digging it - looks a bit home made by some old coot IMO.


    Is it just be being used to my skinny Ducati or is that engine looking very wide for a twin in that front on shot?

    I was wondering about the engine until I read the article.

    Maybe it would look better in the metal?

    Maybe some real life pictures would do it more justice...

    Like on the back of a trailer...?

    When I saw that article the first thing that came to mind was Henry Cole's "World's Greatest Motorcycle Rides". For the South African series of his show he purchased a Metisse from the factory. Once in Africa bits fell off and bits broke until he packed it up and shipped it home. He finished the ride on a KTM if memory serves.

    Not encouraging.

    I remember the Rickman Metisse's as a young guy....

    Hmmmm Rickman Honda's etc......

    wonder if they will get round to producing a running gear only FRAME.

    Triumph 1200 motor, CB1300 donk, RI/MT10 ............... that could be a goer!

    You too, should be forced to eat Judith Collins's cunt for posting such things. You need to get out more. That bike, is as much of an ugly fat pig as she is.

    we all know the only reason you gave up selling 'fat ugly pigs' is.... you couldnt bear the name change to 'Indy Davidson'
