Bonnie Tracker

[Motu]

To me the sign of a good bike is it's versatility - this is one for me.

WHY oh WHY do you do that to us??

Well they are on the right track (er) but if you are going to copy a Rickman seat you need to get the proportions of the rest of the thing correct.

Personally, change the colour and stick some high level pipes and we would be halfway there... The engine still looks a bit Stodgy....

Yeah,the tail looks more Rickman than dirt tracker,also the tank looks like a squashed electric frying pan.Twin high left pipes would be better street tracker,but low pipes were used on twins in the 60s and 70s.There was a nice blue one on the site where I got that - a W650 site,I'm looking for a W650 done as a scrambler or street tracker,but everyone does them Cafe.If I ever get a W650 you know what I'm gunna do to it.

Ya could do worse...

There one here that has just been cleaned up, smaller indicators, proper old Triumph pipes (real tear drop shaped), A10 bars etc and it just looks and sounds so right! (makes the new Bonnie look like a real heffalump)

They are a smidge over 10K new and I think a real bargain. I doubt they would be much chop 2 up though which is what I need.

If I win Lotto I would buy 20 of them, moddify them all and sponsor a TT series at tracks around NZ. It would be a HOOT!
