Rickman Predator
« on: January 07, 2020, 02:30:51 AM »
Hi boys,

can anybody supply informations about Rickman „Predators“?
I´ve tried all sources without any sucess…

My questions are:
- How many had been built?
-   What types exactly hade been built? Honda/Suzuki/Kawa…
-   Whats the market price? Due too the fact that I cant find anything ist difficult to rate those bikes…

Many thx

I find that the Rickman Motorcycles Facebook page is a wealth of information, with a large number of active users that seem to have answers to the most obscure questions. Im confident you will find the information you seek on there.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.

 Because it's often easier to help folks if you know where they are.
 I have never heard if the predator, what is it. Up here in Canada we do see some Rickman cb 750 and Z 1, and long ago a Rickman Norton racer. And maybe the odd Metisse..

 I had never heard of one either. Looks like they used either a Honda cb900 or a Suzuki 1000 engine and were more of a "sport tourer" according to a link.

       This is interesting to me, as the (Paul) Dunstall Nortons (to also include the 750 Honda) were the only variations of a factory motorcycles, that I had heard of, for years. And I learned of those, back in the 1960's And Then, I found this place & started learning more & Still Learning. So, everytime  something like this pops up, I might not be able to add anything, but I will sure be looking to add to my knowledge. So, consider me subscribed.  ;)
