Two-stroke tracker from a professional BMX rider...The Yamaha RD400, built from 1976 to 1979, was a lightweight giant-killer, a 44-horsepower two-stroke twin capable of embarrassing many of the era's larger four-strokes. The bike simply begged to be flogged, to have the throttle cracked open and

Indian Motorcycle dominated this year’s American Flat Track series, and what a better way to celebrate the success of the Wrecking Crew than with a custom street tracker concept. The Indian Scout FTR1200 shares the name with the donor bike it comes from, but in reality it aims to look

Yamaha's lightweight, wheelie-prone TT500 is one of the all-time great off-road bikes. So how do you improve on a machine already close to perfection? When Canadian Paul Miller found himself with a basket case '77 TT500, he decided to try. He's built an elegant and nimble street tracker that, despite first impressions, is street-legal. There's hardly a square inch of this bike that hasn't been massaged: the only remaining pure TT500 parts are the engine and the front half of the frame. Miller, 25, lives in the oil town of Calgary, Alberta, and grew up around street rods and drag

The biggest cliché in motorcycle journalism is the ‘listicle’ of the best-looking bikes ever made. If we ever run out of ideas and succumb at EXIF, you can guarantee that the Harley-Davidson XR750 flat tracker will be in our list. And we’d lament that it was never street legal. So this streetable XR750 from Brad Peterson is right up our, er, street. And it’s no replica or lookalike, either. Power comes from a genuine factory race motor, used briefly in 2007 by National #80 Rich King, which probably delivers around 100 horsepower. “The motors are sold without a title,” Brad
