       Bill, that Triumph is pretty cool alright! 8)

       

       I agree with Bill, about the Ducati. Sometimes, it doesn't take much, to put a Cool Spin on a bike or car/truck. Just takes a few things to really set it off.

        DO like the Excelsior now, THAT is a choice bike! 8) ;)

I've been looking desperately for that Champion framed 750 (you mentioned) on the internets as I'm dying to see what that would look like!

Since I'm not having any luck and you are the one who brought it up I think it's your moral duty to now build a tracker inspired 750.

The high pipes would be absolutely fantastic to see/ hear.

I had an article in Cycle World I think, desribed the TZ750 effort and I think talked about the Hondas a bit (cant find that right now) They got outlawed by the AMA almost right away..

Pretty sure i seen a pic of Hocking i think on a blue/white 750 Honda, i think sponsored by rocky cycle.. now tucker rocky..

Hmm,

I might be able to get my hands on an old Harley enduro  :o It made me think of this thread, I doubt I'll be able to get it, but it's a neat thought for a dirt track bike!

Whoa Bill, can you imagine having to hand shift that thing while fighting for traction and battling other bikes doing the same?! Cool site too.

'pills, man you hit the mother lode! I think this must be the 'Japanese Look'. I've seen bikes sort of similarly styled at Brat Style. The copper one and green one are the closest to a SOHC/4 tracker yet! I like where they put the blinkers, hell, I like everything about these! Great paint and cleanly done. That rectangle headlight even works.

We should combine these two threads so we don't have to double post.

As posted in the other tracker thread, here is the website:

http://www.gravel-crew.com/

It's in Japanese, but you guys can figure it out pretty easily.

What's the story with Rotax anyway? What country of origin and I wonder is it a 'clean sheet' design or an off shoot?

Here's a wild one.
