This bike isn't the fastest scrambler in the world.
It isn't the most reliable.
It never was the most advanced.
But, is probably one of the coolest Scramblers i ever seen.
Rickman Motorcycles, produced bikes from 1960 to 1975.
The most famous, is this Metisse Desert Racer.
Here are some important links:

I love the line you added: "It's not about reaching your destination quickly. It's about arriving." Excellent edit of the song too!
+aqthegreat Thank you for noticing this kind of details. I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
Dude love those classic metisse frames quality never fades
+master Wu Indeed. :) Cheers.
Awesome video! My dad owns an original 650 mk3 in yellow which I have had the pleasure of racing in pre65 scramble racing. They are like rocket ships and handle beautifully. In the right hands, with a competent rider unbeatable even. Very advanced for their time, the frame material (Reynolds 531) and fibreglass bodywork makes them a light bike considering the engine size. The 500cc daytona version was a lot lighter. Just like a lot of classic cars the styling and sound of these bikes is awesome compared to most modern motorcycles.
+Dan Leigh Thank you my friend for sharing your experiance with this lovely machine. :) Cheers.
Dan Leigh, what you said. TH-cam video: Ricky Roper aboard 1965 500cc Triumph Metisse
Awsome bike. Long live the scrambler.
Alan Padgett I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
A choir of angelic voices........ how appropriate... on the road, saving all humanity, in a time so short. A curiosity at best. Jason's my Guy, rooting for him.
Thank you for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Was racing scrambles in the 60's and acquired one of the first metisse frames Don & Derek built. It was a big advance on the bsa gold star which had been the mount to have before the metisse frames arrived.
Great bikes and great memories from the golden age of scrambling.
This video put a big grin om my mug, absolutely great!
+Roger Harper :) I'm glad you liked. Thank you. Cheers.
I got my 650 66 Triumph in 82 and it was a chopper.A friend was parting out a 72 Triumph 250 and I got the front end and added a valve spring to the tubes for the extra weight and it was and still is great. I climbed a high wall in a pit and it always has handled great, everywhere.....Love it and you dont need the pipes and frame to make it handle great because it already will....They are super light to start with and will do it in the frame they are in and the pipes are mostly clear out of the way....
my God, this is absolutely one of your best intro.....if not the best
+Andrea Perego Thank you my friend. :) I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
WOW !!! this sums up the unspoken passion and essence of the motorcycle and what a fantastic looking low key bike ...I love it !!!
My inspiration to build customise my own came after seeing some of the underrated and not so cool looking cafe racer bikes. I don't have a garage so I did it right in my basement parking spot. thank you and long live RacerTV.
I have to say; Racer TV...... You keep producing the goods.
Time and again I revisit your site, and it's always a pleasure.
This is a sign of class, embellished by excellent English text (I know it's text to voice..... but somebody must write it ;) )
The moment we saw the cross-post fencing, we knew what was coming LOL.
We weren't disappointed.
Thank you!
PlayF1 Net Woow. Thank you so much for all your kind words. I really appreciated your comment. Cheers.
What a nice line "This is not about performance, it's about a pleasure" I always ride motorcycle on this basic line. Thanks 😊
Great edit! The way you pieced the footage together was economic and climactic. Bold music selection too.
Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.
Absolutely magnificent!
Stunning music is perfect for such an epic bike.
I believe they were the most advanced when the Mark III came out.
The top racers from almost every country raced them with their own engine of choice.
I think one year (1963?) in the motocross des nation (sp?) 80% of the riders were on Rickman Mark III bikes.
Of course I am slightly biased because I am currently building a Mark III with a Triumph 650 twin engine.
I bought the complete frame kit from Rickman Motorcycles and it is a work of art.
I feel this your best video yet!
JagLite48 It seems this video is almost unnecessary for you. Lol. You know more about it than myself.:) But i'm glad you liked. I have to congratulate you for your project. You made a great choice. I wish you the best luck for your project, and thank you for your kind words. Cheers.
guys beautiful video & you people are doing an brilliant job on these wonderful vintage motorcycle videos, keep them coming, and thank you
The cool factor is under-rated sometimes. fun video !
Ichiban Moto I think the main question about the "cool factor", is how to achieve it.And as i said in the video, this bike is a very good example.Being discreet, is one of the main features of the cool factor.When some bike is trying to be cool, usually ends being too flashy. And this is the difference of being cool, and "Trying" to be cool.Thanks for your comment. Cheers.
Que excelente video, como siempre! Magnifico video, magnifico sonido y hermosas motocicletas. Gracias.
El Solitario Me alegro que te gustara. Gracias por sus amables palabras (como siempre). Saludos.
Only now ive seen your video about scrambler sir. Thanks and more video to come

+Tom Kostrzewa You're welcom my friend. Thank you for your kind words. Cheers.

Ride AMAP As usual, thank you for your kind words. Cheers.

Very nice production, thanks.
My dream Matisse will have a 500 Triumph engine.
Epic music, Epic bike
+Isara Thepyuha Yes, i really put my effort in this video, but for some reason, it wasn't the success i was expecting. But thank you for appreciating it. Cheers.
RACER TV nope bro this VID brilliant
Awesome bike! I have love Metisse MX bikes for more than 50 years! Hope to own one some day :-)Thank you for a beautiful video.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Bravo. Another excellent collection of informative images and videos. I am new to your site, but you have become one of my favorites. Cheers..
Scout Trooper Thank you for sharing your kind words. I'm glad that you really liked. Cheers.
Excellent video and Motorcicle! It's awesome!! I'm your big fan RACER TV!! Cheers
+Giovane SOA Thank you my friend for your support. I put a lot of effort in this video. I'm glad you liked. :) Cheers.
Yet again, thanks for another scrambler video. I chose to build my cl 450 into a scrambler and now I see everyone is bringing one back into production. Ducati brought theirs back, husqvarna has a beautiful scrambler too then this. Seems like the perfect time to build one. Not sure how you find all these awesome bikes but keep them coming. I'll be back next week to see what inspiration you have for me.
joshua3113 Thank you for your kind words.I'm glad knowing that my videos are inspirational for many of us (including for me, Lol).Usually, the choice of bikes for the videos have to be honest. I only choose the bikes that i really love.It is not easy to find them, but with hard work, it is just a question of time.And again, thanks for sharing your comment. Cheers.
Tudo o que o Steve McQueen tocou, ganhou um novo estatuto. O sonho de dos meus amigos é vir a ter uma moto igual a esta. Vou enviar-lhe os links, talvez ele a queira montar aos poucos. Obrigado pela partilha, como sempre foram momentos bem passados em frente ao monitor.
Zacarias Benta Muito obrigado Zacarias pelas simpáticas palavras como já é habitual. Um dos objectivos deste video foi esse mesmo. Ajudar a concretizar um projecto desta Metisse. Não foi fácil descobrir os Sites onde comprar as peças da Metisse, mas acho sinceramente que valeu a pena. Mais uma vez obrigado pelo comentário. Abraço.
HERMOSA!!!!! Y muy buen trabajo presentandola en el video,como de costumbre.
Cada viernes espero impaciente por ver con que preciosidad nos vais a sorprender y cada viernes me sorprendeis,solo me queda decir....gracias por hacer que se rompa la monotonia de los viernes😉😉😉👍👍👍
carmelo santana Gracias por las amables palabras.Es un placer leer comentarios como el suyo.Este video fue um de los que me dio mucho trabajo para hacer.Pero al final, creo que valió la pena.Una vez más, gracias por el apoyo.Salud.
L'essence même de la moto. Respect
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Salute.
Well done very enjoyable film preciated and the efforts
Ralph Dadario Thank you Ralph for your kind words. Cheers.
Well hardly a Cafe Racer that I subscribed for,but you're forgiven and you're most definitely correct- the Rickman is indeed one of the coolest bikes on the planet! Good video,great to see the Legendary Steve McQueen, Thankyou. As always will be eagerly waiting for your next wonderful video.
inkitatus1 Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked the video. Cheers.
So well done my friend, so well done! Nice bike too.
***** Thank you for your kind words as usual.This was one of those videos which was hard to make. But the beautiful background music, deserved great images with this great bike.I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
Hi, what i enjoy must, was the last scenes, remenbering the movie Great Escape, with Steve Mcqueen.
Abraço
Fernando Neves You're right. The jump scene had to be part of this video. It's not the same bike of the movie Great Escape, but it is also a Triumph. Thanks for your comment. Abraço.
Well done, good job,.. Thank you!
Ladislav Prasil I'm glad you liked. Thanks for your kind words. Cheers.

Estimado podrías dedicar un video completo a tu cb 125? Me gustaría ver mas fotos de ella, preciosa moto muy bien lograda. Obrigado
***** Sí, entiendo tu comentario.Realmente quiero hacer un vídeo sobre mi honda cb 125.Pero la moto está aún sin terminar.Espero terminar la moto durante el próximo año, y luego voy a hacer un video al respecto, mostrando todos los detalles.Gracias por sus amables palabras. Salud.
so were the scrambers like special made for the old sport, or were they like cb300s sported up with dirt tires
Ah meu amigo, tanto eu como meu pai somos fãns do grande Steve Mcqueen, não só como ator mas principalmente pela pessoa que ele foi.
Particularmente as scramblers não me "enchem os olhos", elas não tem a agressividade das superbikes, a classe das customs, a sofisticação das touring, nem a imponência das big trails.
Mas elas me fazem lembrar o que meu pai vive a dizer: que com a correria dos dias atuais, as pessoas estão perdendo o feeling para a inspiração e a sutileza, que não há mais espaço para a genialidade, originalidade, etc.. e por isso mesmo tudo que foge do lugar comum hoje faz sucesso.. quando é percebido, claro..
Talvez também seja por isso que as scramblers são tão legais: elas não são óbvias e, assim como as café-racers, elas também tem seu charme nostálgico, apenas de uma maneira mais irreverente e despretensiosa.
E acredito que essa Metisse vai um passo além: nas palavras da minha mulher ( que também gosta de motos e tem um senso artístico melhor que o meu ): _"Vídeo genialmente perfeito para a moto, mas ela é um tanto quanto excêntrica e masculina". Eu respondi brincando: Mas claro, um motor 650 com partida a pedal é mesmo pra macho.. rsrs..
Meu caro amigo, só posso concordar com tudo o que disse, e ainda assino por baixo. :) Essa do Pedal de partida ser só para machos, é tal como os Americanos costumam dizer: "This is old school stuff". Para homens de barba rija e a cheirar a cavalo. Lol. Um abraço.
Rsrsrs.. Ótimo humor, meu caro. Abraço e até o próximo vídeo.
can you please please please do a video on the triumph silver jubilee!!! I'd appreciate it so much. My grandfather had one and I'm going to be inheriting it soon
Thanks for your sugestion. I will keep that on mind. Cheers.
It..Cool Jason so good Feeling
Tee13lk Thank you for sharing your comment. Cheers.
Perfect soundtrack!!
Rodrigo Machado That's exactly what i thought when i started making this video. :) Thanks for your comment. Abraço.
What dong is that?
Courtney Wigfall
I believe you are asking about the "song" and not the "dong". lol
The music is based in the original The Ecstacy of Gold by Ennio Morricone. Enjoy.
Una belleza, debería fabricarse
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Saludos.
Were just plain old AWESOME!!!
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Another great video. Congrats . To understand Cafe Racers, it´s necessary to have a knowledge of the existence of other correlations between man and machine. The Scrambler fits the bill. By the way, once again I ask, what is the name of the melody during the video? Sounds like another song by Ennio Morricone.
dingo416 Thank you for your kind words.This video was one of those that gave me a lot of work, but i think it deserved.I was going to give you the song name, but i guess is already too late. Lol.Cheers.
ooh ok...sorry for my opinion! and i wanna ask u about consideration to that motorcycle ,which u say the coolest one and u make consideration for a few years?...maybe that can make help me to sight every motorcycle classification!
cheers up bruder!!! :)
aldrin habibi You don't need to ask sorry for your opinion. I always respected different opinions.I also understand your opinion about this bike, because if you ask my opinion about this bike 10 or 15 years ago, i probably say that i didn't like this bike. To appreciate this kind of bikes, we need time to learn to appreciate them.It is like a process where we have to see and love modern bikes, until one day that we get tired of modern bikes, and start to appreciate old bikes.Just like in music, the best songs are the ones that 20 years later, are still cool and enjoyable to listen in.But to know this, we need 20 years of life experience. Cheers.
Bonjour la branlette a chaque épisode ...!? Bien que les Rickman soient de très belles machines...
It's a shame that manufacturers can't make good looking bikes anymore.
+REGGIN RETNUH At least we can build it at home. Try to search on google for "rickman metisse", and you will find a full kitt about this bike. :) Cheers.
RACER TV
I am well aware of this. But the thing is all those Triumph, BSA, and Norton engines aren't getting any younger and they aren't making as many parts for them as the used to.
Immer wieder die besten Video´s von euch.. weiter so!
Michael Meyer
Wir danken Ihnen für Ihre freundlichen Worte. Prost.
show
Maria, mira: TH-cam video: Ricky Roper aboard 1965 500cc Triumph Metisse
in its day...very advance, reliable and FAST
+mark rickman Well, i never said the opposite. But you have to recognize that isn't the most advanced, reliable and FAST, of all times. :) . Cheers.
I remember Rickman. wasn't there a 900 Rickman Honda ?
Indeed. Nowadays Rickman is especially known by their beautiful fairings. :) Cheers.
What is the difference between a tracker and a scrambler?
+Athrun000 Basically, the overall stance/style from the Tracker, is very near to the Scrambler, but the tires from the Tracker are more suitable to tarmac road. Cheers.
RACER TV I see, I see...
Thanks man.
Love the channel :)
For the life of me , I can not figure why the film of the American Malcom riding the Baha 1000 too is not shone . Thanks
Got It, L'estasi Dell'oro
what is the song? soundtrack please?
The Ecstacy of Gold :)
@@RACER_TV Thank you
the vocals are a bit overpowering. but great advert...
Jason, you are NOT Steve McQueen.
Nice vid' . Good looking 'bike . Couldn't hear bike for the g'damned music .
at 6:40 Jason Strathem?
1ls376 Yes it is. Cheers.
RACER TV Recently discovered Mr Strathem's movies. Awesome work, great action.
Gostaria de mostrar a minha BMW R1100R - 1997 Café Racer, quem quiser ver pode acessar minha pagina no Facebook Agostinho Ferrarese Jr.
Make a CA street legal version
ah racer tv de mais de ma is
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Whoa a robot with a British accent 😳
Unfortunately, things are more complicated than most people may think. I use this "robotic" voice created by software, because I'm Portuguese, and my bad English accent (and voice), can ruin the documentary character that I like for my videos. I already tried a real British voice in one of my videos, and, surprisingly, almost everyone hated it. Curiously, the robotic voice sounds realy very good for to non-English natives.
:) Cheers.
Love it! Thanks. Check my channel for the re-enactment of McQueen's fence jump.
why you said that motorcycle is the coolest one...she looks boored design to me...because in indonesia its to many motorcycles with design like that, one point that i love to that things...that machine preety cool!!! heee...
aldrin habibi I understand your comment. Sometimes, we need a few years to start appreciating some bikes. And this bike is one of those. Even if it isn't nothing special, i still think this Metisse is one of the coolest Scramblers i ever seen. Thanks you for sharing your comment. Cheers.
Epic .. F#$K the Ducati Scrambler. :)
Husqvarna of the same vintage would whip it badly....
Nothing else to say but yet another good video :) Somehow most triuphs arent my cup of tea.....Maybe because i have just heard so much bad talk about old triumph engine.... Also be sure to checkout ***** channel. There is some cheap and good movies and in their wesite there is more awesome stuff.
Timo - GarageRat Hi Timo. Yes i understand your opinion about Triumph's.But as i said in the video, the body kit can be adapted in many different bikes.I have a friend who is thinking on building a Metisse in a MZ ETZ 250(One of the ugliest bikes i ever seen- Lol).Thanks for your comment, and for the link. Cheers.
Another computer voice Yuk yuk yuk. This is also the bike that Mr. Cole took to Afric a and it literally fell to bits!! The frame broke at it's weld points.

Saying "cool" doesn't really fit with that accent. Couldn't they think of a better adjective.
+Pete Hargreaves Sorry, but i just can't remember a better adjective to define this bike. :) Cheers.
Eat my grits euro5!
Sorry, that dreadful computer generated narration voice with its bad pronunciation and bad grammar ruined it for me.
Sorry to hear that. Fourtunatly, my most recent video are much better. Unfortunately, things are more complicated than most people may think.

@@RACER_TV Thanks for replying. You know native English speakers don't mind an accent - as long as it is genuine. The great thing about English is that it is easy to understand even if mispronounced and with an accent and we don't mind - unlike the French :-). It's just that the computer voice is odd.
What is that horrible robot voice?
