INTRODUCING THE RICKMAN 125 MOTOCROSS.
Derek and Don Rickman , cham pion British motocross riders , develope d a frame so uniq ue, that peop le
allover the wor ld wrote to them requesting one, They had to open a tactory just to try and keep up with the
d emand , and st ill they had to t urn
down orde rs , It wo ul d have been
simple and profitable to keep making
these uniqu e frames . But the Brothers
weren't happy-because they knew
that their perfect frame was only the
beg inn ing of Ihe pe rfect bike. And
that's whalthey really wanted to make;
After many years of testing, learn ing
from everybody else's mistake s (and
a few of thei r own) , Derek and Don
perfecte d their Ric kman-Metisse 125
Motoc ro ss-a bik e so han d c rafted ,
there will only be a limited quanlit y of
them fo r sale this year.That's because
the Rickman s don 'I com pete with big
manufactur er s-e xce p t w he n t hey
wipe them out on the course.
The Rickman frame has no competition , It's constructed of a special
lig htweight alloy-steel; the kind they
make jet plane s with. Every joint of the
frame is profi led to fit , bronze-we lded
for avirtual ly indestructible bond , into
a race -te sted , do uble -l oo p crad le
frame. The swing arm has been specially desiq ned to add to stabil ity. Each
frame is then nic kel- plated for finest

ap pearanc e.
The Rickmans watc h ove r the ir
frame s, constanlly refining thei r refinements. They know if the frame is right,
making th e bike right wi ll be a lot
easier.
Choosing the Zundapp z-stroke
125 engine is another way of making
the perfect bike. Thi s inte rnati o nal
celebrity is famous for hammering out
steady power. For its comp act size
and ligh t weig hl. the Zundapp puts out
an incred ible torque. On the power
band , you 'll swear someone slipped
you a 250 . Tak e he r bl ast ing up a
steep slope-and you're flying .
Becaus e the Ric kman frame is so
incredibly light. and the Zundapp engine so com pactly powerful, your
powe r !weight ratio is higher-yo'u
move lighter and faster than the competition.
Motoc rossin g on a Rickma nMetisse 125 is being in control of your
machine, whether you' re on- the-p ipe,
or skinnyi ng over mud slides. Conical
alu min um alloy hubs keep b ra ki ng
light and smooth, while also reducin g
unspr ung weight.
Put all the se featu res togeth er,
and you've got a motocross bike that
give s rac ing or just ridin g a new dimensio n. The supply is limited , but
Derek and Don are making certain that
spare parts and servici ng are no problems. They have cho sen The Birm ingham Small Arms Company, Inc . as
their exclusive dist ribu to r in the
U.S.A., so there will be a nationwide
dea ler cha in hand l in g Ric kman Mel isse in the U.S.A.
The Rick man Brother s aren't making the most bikes . Just the best ones.
