Métisse Motorcycles is a British low-volume manufacturer of specialist motorcycles and motorcycle frames based in Carswell near Faringdon, Oxfordshire.
Since 1982, Métisse has produced motorcycle frame kits for British bike engines. Former owner Pat French bought the tooling originally used by the Rickman brothers (who produced the first Mk1 Metisse in 1959) to produce lightweight, strong frames and rolling chassis for competitive motocross use.
Métisse has focused on using high quality plated steel for their distinctive frames. French produced Mk IV frames, then MkIII for retro-scrambles until the mid-1990s when demand waned. A partnership was formed with Gerry Lisi to continue manufacture until French's retirement. Lisi continues to run Métisse at his Carswell premises where the motorcycle operation is something of a sideline to the main golf course business. Steve Mc Queen also loved this Motorcycle.
Métisse now manufactures complete motorcycles, usually using bought-in cycle parts and engines, although the recent Mk5 is fitted with Métisse's own 997 cc (60.8 cu in) air and oil-cooled 360° parallel twin engine Links to the company are.
