Now I am a huge Steve McQueen fan. I am also a sucker for anything retro and vintage. I love the look of this bike and I am sure there is a lot of people out there who have more money than sense. But i have to agree with Hell For Leather (love your site guys) that this Steve McQueen Metisse Replica Desert Racer is priced steeper than the Great Escape jump (£13,000). So hit this link to read their very honest review...

Back about 2001 after snagging a ride on an original Triumph engined Rickman Metisse I looked into having a Wasp/Metisse put together here in the US. See

The cost was going to be about $10k - $12k back then. The price for the McQueen edition does not seem all that out of line for a vintage style bike like that but for the money I'd go find a vintage Metisse which seems to me would me more a more authentic experience than the current version.
