THE RICKMAN-METISSE
125 ENDURO.
Don and Derek Rickman have a
new concept in motorcyc le making.
They produce a limited quantity of 125
Enduro bikes . each year for America.
And they 're hand-made, to the specifications of two champ ion British Motocross racers-Don and Derek Rickman.
These are machines made with the
personal care that you cou ld only find
in a comp letely hand-made bike costing much more. And you might not
even be getting as much.
To begin with, you can only get
a Rickman frame from the Rickman
Brothers. Everybody wants a Rickman
frame, because it is a masterful comb inatio n of lig ht ness, ba la nce , and
strength .
The special Rick man frame is
crafted of high-strength, steel alloy
tubing, the kind they use to make jet
planes. All joints are profile fitted, and.
bronze-welded for sure, strong bonds .
And Don and Derek coat every frame
with nickel for a brill iant finish. The
Rickman frame is unmatched for superb handling , strength, and control.
The eng ine is a Zun d app 125,
known all over the world as the 125cc
engine that thinks it's a 250cc. Combi ne t his po we r' with a ligh twe ig ht
frame, and you've got a winning co mbination.
Another great thing about the Enduro is that it's now " street legal" with
specially baffled mufflers that cut down
on noise. Most manufacturers take a
road bike and adapt it to the trail- the
Rickman Brothers do just the reverse.
