Hello,

How are you doing? Just want to share our latest work. The donor bike is an Suzuki EN125, and the owner wanted a two-seater that could go through the rain (he meant some useful fenders :D), and he also wanted to change the frame and the seating position, so we change the footpegs position and gave him a taller bar. The tank is fron an old Suzuki GP125, and the battry box is a modified Suzuki A100 carb filter box. The fenders are customized honda CB100's. No major works withthe suspensions. As always (been too busy to set up new blog/site! :) ) you can check the building process here ( http://www.facebook.com/gifny.richata#!/album.php?aid=27446&id=115078248506795 )


Have a nice day!!
cheers,

UPDATE: Follow up To An Earlier Yamaha Street Tracker Post.

I had a shot of this bike a while back and a lot of folks e-mailed me to ask about it. Well I've finally stumbeled across the original sources. The bike was built by Joker machine. To learn more about them and this bike check them out HERE

Update 3: Wicked Little 2-Stroke Yamaha Tracker-Bobber

Moving this to the top for a bit since so many folks had questions about it.

From the comments (Thanks SakeRacer).  More info Here: http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2010/9/9/1973-yamaha-rd250-street-tracker.html

Sorry to Pipeburn. I didn't realize it originated on their site. TONS of great stuff over there so check them out often.

My observant commentors make some good points about the classification of this bike. Tracker of Bobber? I see a lot of elements of both styles here and to be honest I'm not crazy about pigeon holing bikes all that much so lets call it a tracker-bobber. Whatever you call it it's still freaking cool!

That's got backroad fun written all over it.

Interesting Reader Submittal. VF500 Magna Tracker.

Paul Robinson sends in a pic of his interesting build.

Hmmm... There's a lo of potential here. I never thought of these bikes as tracker material. There's a million of them out there too at affordable prices. Just saying..

Reader Ride From Spain! A Honda CM400T Street Tracker.

This may be the nicest CM400T on the planet. Damm that is cool.

I've said it here many many times. You do NOT need big money or big engines to build fantastic bikes. And here we have another excellent example of that. This beauty was built by Mario Trigo Salorino wo writes in:


Hello, my name is Mario and I write from Spain. I'm a fan of your blog for a long time. Always show the style of bikes that I like. It is a daily appointment required.


I want to show a personal project I recently completed. It is a Honda CM400T, base uncommon, has been done by me and some friends. I do not define his style, bobber, track, brat ... is a modest project but I'm very happy with the result. Major changes are, handlebars, handlebar switch, repositioning of the electrical components and battery box, exhaust, rear set, clocks, modified original seat and paint job. Appear on your blog would be a reward for my work. I hope you like.


A greeting and continued with this great blog. Muchas gracias.


PS. Sorry for my English.

Your English is fine Mario It's an excellent build. I am labeling at a Street Tracker but you're right it has elements of other styles in it as well.  ! Thank you very much for sending in these great picture!

Reader Ride. A nice XS 650 Street Tracker.

Very "Unusual" Triumph Street Tracker / Fighter / Whatever?

I keep looking at this bike and wondering why I kinda sorta like it. It's a very strange mix that that has me scratching my head.

Bob's Badass Bonneville...

Basic Bonneville turned street tracker with Honda Wheels and seriously upgraded suspension.  I've seen Bob ride this bike and she goes as good as she looks.  The bike's been on here before but this is a better and more recent picture from last May's Riding Into History where he was volunteering. 

Triumph Hellfire Street Triple Tracker.

Wow!

Reader Ride.. Beautiful converted Flat/Street Tracker

Ted Gail Sends in this beauty.   He Writes:

I stumbled across your page and thought you might like this bike.
It is my old race bike from 30 years ago. I had always wanted to make a street bike out of one of a flat tracker because they look so cool. I knew I needed a 4 stroke with an electric start and my first attempt was a KLR 650 engine and it just wasn't going to fit in that frame. Then after much measuring I decided a 450WR would be perfect, good power (at least as much as the F11M it originally had) with a wide ratio gearbox and an electric start.
It is a Cycle Factory frame, Ceriani road race forks, Kosman wheels, 2007 Yamaha 450 WR engine, Champion Glass with a Greg Flowers paint job.

Hope you like it,
Ted Gail

Great Stuff Ted! Thanks!

Bikes You Don't See Every Day. Guzzi Tracker.

Gifny Richata from Indonesia sends in his latest custom build.  See his first submittable HERE This bike is further proof that you don't need big CC engines to create something special. This may be the coolest CB100 on the planet. As an aside, you have a nice touch with the camera. Very well composed.

How are you doing? I always enjoy your motorcycle blog everyday!! Keep up the good stuff! :D..... Just in case you want to put my latest work....It's a 1976 Honda CB100. It's a low-budgeted project, nothing fancy but looks pretty good to me :) Only swapped the swing arm with a Honda GL200, added bigger tires, and a custom Commando-style tailpiece. Engine is bored up with a 200cc piston. And just put matt paints to get the raw look. Building process can be seen on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Hajarbroxx-Motorcycles/115078248506795?ref=ts  ....hope you like it!

Reader Ride. Possibly The Nicest XS650 Street Tracker I've Seen Yet.

Folks are making this really easy for me. I'm getting quite a flood of outstanding pics lately so if you're bike isn't getting on right away doesn't mean that it won't. I'm NOT complaining so please keep em coming.

Ken Fontenot of Cycle Sports Huston sent in this jewel of a build. As XS trackers go, I don't believe I've seen it equaled.

Ken Writes:

I read that you were always looking for interesting bikes to post to your site. Here is a bike we built over the winter months. Several pics attached as well as a story about how it all happened.
Everyone knows things have slowed down a little in the motorcycle business lately as well as many other businesses so this past winter we decided to take on a project to occupy any down time we might have.
We have had an independent shop here in Houston Tx for the last 29 years and have worked on several Flat trackers and Street trackers in the past and everyone here liked that style so after looking around we pulled out a rusty 1975 Yamaha XS650 rolling chassis that had been outside for about 16 years.
We had a starting point. We tried to accomplish this by using as many parts as possible that we already had around the shop, simply refinishing, replating, repainting and restoring. Well after about 6 months this is what we came up with. Its a real conglomeration of parts from many different bikes that we made work.

* Frame is a 1975 Yamaha XS650, gusseted and modified
* Engine & carbs are from a '77, Both left stock but painted polished & carbs rejetted
* Front suspension & fuel tank '81, steering stem bearings,seals & progressive springs
* Swingarm '86 Yamaha Radian with needle bearings
* Kaw ZRX 1200 Shocks, Repainted and re cadium plated
* Foot controls are Kawasaki Ninja 250
* Tailpiece XR750 Harley, seat recontoured , firmer foam inserted and recovered
* Tailpiece is also rubber mounted to the frame on viabration absorbing Iso mounts
* Headlight & Brow from a Harley Sportster, custom mounts made
* K&N Air Filters with custom adaptors made to mount to the carbs
* Pipes were built down the street from us by John Easton at Jemco Exhaust Systems
* Stock front caliper and rotor with Grimeca mastercyl & stainless lines
* Brembo Rear caliper with custom water jetted hanger and stabalizer bar, stainless lines
* Stock front brake rotors turned, drilled & painted
* For the wheels we used two stock front Xs650 hubs & Spokes
* Custom built billet sprocket adaptor made by James Moody at Leeco Springs
* The Rims are rear Honda CRF450 Excell 19" take offs donated by Honda of Houston
* Paint scheme graphics were designed by Shane Davis at Graphtec Inc in Houston
* All paint was done here in our shop, the only powdercoated parts are rims and fuel cap
* Trailtech computer for speedo, tach, odometer, tripmeter, clock, temp, shift lights
* Trailtech also has an optional bezel with all the idiot lights needed, rubber mounted
* We custom built the turn signals and lic plate & taillight brkt.
* Hard to spot the front signals but they are there
* Custom built the electrical box and wiring harness.
* Hi performance YTZ10s sealed battery, electric start only.
* All lighting is LED except for H4 Quartz headlight.

This has been a very fun project and of course we ended up spending more time that we expected but we are very proud of the final result. Considering we have spent very little (under $1800) in actually parts & supplies, this bike runs, handles, stops, and rides exceptionally well and really turns heads where ever we park it.
