Can you imagine a road going version? Better maybe... a factory built.

I read on this thread that they took a CX500-900 engine and mounted it sideways & added a chain drive. Could this be one of those?

No, this engine is from a VTR1000. Google image that and you'll see one heck of a different bike than this! This one should be made as a road going version. Alas, Ecosse hasn't the money. :'(

That last one looks like a VTR; I'd like to know a little something about the engine of the XR500.

Here's another rare beast.

       Seems like a "Street Tracker has already been posted and even though this one is a SOHC4, I'm posting it here as an example of the "Tracker Style". Not much was changed, but looks good to me! 8) ;)

I know traditionally trackers have been of the vee, thumper, or twin variety. But I'm stuck on a SOHC/4 version. This give a good idea of it.

Here's our version of a SOHC street-tracker, Ted's '78 CB750

A good bike mechanic only needs two tools, WD40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move, but should, use the WD40. If it does move but shouldn't use the duct tape.

Beautiful! Please post any more pictures should you take some. How cool would scrambler exhaust be, two to a side, look?!

Maybe the oil tank might be an issue but the look and sound would be something.
