#3Ummmm ... Hmmmmmm ...
I dunno - I really like Galluzzi's original Monster - and this, well, I'm not sure what it is, but it ain't what I'd call a [flat]"tracker".
Seems contrived, and nowhere near minimal/spartan enough - like something got seriously lost in translation from 'murican to Italian. Maybe more "speedway" influenced (always an ugly look IMO) - ?

#4I like the air-cooled bikes engine and thought they would make a great tracker engine.
Where this bike fails for me is the seat to bar distance, high pegs, Cg looks too high, wheel base too long... But it"s a "street tracker", not a dirt-track race bike.
As fun as a real flat-track bike sounds on the street, I'm sure that those w-i-d-e bars, lack of brakes, super twitchy steering, changing tyres every few hundred miles, etc would get real old real fast on the street. A compromise is sometimes required...
This the direction I'll be taking the SD when I get my ducks in a row. I'm sure the SD will be better suited for the duty.
