The Triumph Rickman Metisse 750cc Tiger from 1973 was a unique machine, combining the classic Triumph parallel-twin engine with a lightweight, high-performance Rickman Metisse frame. It was essentially a custom-built motorcycle, popular for its handling and racing pedigree
The Rickman Metisse frame, constructed from Reynolds 531 chrome-molybdenum tubing, was lighter and more rigid than standard frames, contributing to the bike's agility and handling
The frame also acted as the oil tank for the dry-sump engine, reducing weight and complexity
Rickman Metisse frames were highly regarded for their racing capabilities, and this model was often seen on the track
