Rickman Metisse
Rickman Jap Powered Metisse Frame number 171 , Engine number 84S 73049 . I think the frame would date back to the early 1980,s and the letter supplied with the Metisse states "Possibly built by "Rhind Tutt" of "WASP" fame . The motor is a single cylinder 500 cc "Big Port" , "Short Stroke" motor   , Its not really a short stroke engine in the proper sense of the term which infers a shorter stroke than bore ratio. Its 90 mm stroke is shorter than the 4B engine which is 99 mm stroke. The 84S type engine is not intended to be a high revving engine and it's low speed torque and power is similar to the 4B engine but it will achieve a higher  RPM . THE ENGINE that dominated "Speedway" and "Grass Track" events for years and used by "John Cooper" in the 500 cc Single Seat Racing Cars . The history that I have states that this bike was ridden on a number of occasions by "Bob Wright"  EX GP Motocross CCM Works Rider at "Farleigh Castle" Home of the British  Moto Cross Grand Prix for many years .Also the paper work states the "Metisse" was  built by "Julian Wigg" famed for his Speedway success in the 1970,s  . The gearbox is a Norton 4 speed  , Amal carburetor (Possibly set up for running Methanol) , "Marrelli" magneto , Betor front forks , Bultaco front hub and Huskvarna rear hub are fitted . This Classic "Jap Metisse" has not been used since 2000 and has been in a private collection presented as last raced .  It will require re commissioning prior to use and it is a superb combination of competition frame and motor much favored in the "Golden Era" of "Scrambling"  . Rare opportunity ,  Find another ,
