Title: Found a cute tracker
Post by philthymike on 04/12/17 at 06:21:04

While running errands on my way home from work I happened upon a really cute Savage tracker. Ain't it purdy?

No sign of the owner around though so no info to pass on.

That's a Ryca standard/scrambler not the tracker , still a cool bike !

Trackers and Scramblers are very similar, but there are a few defining features. The dead give away:

Tracker = exhaust sweeps up from below the engine
Scrambler = Exhaust cuts across the mid-line of the bike.

Agreed, that's the RYCA kit.

And the tracker usually has a tracker seat. :)

It was nice to see one of these Ryca jobs in person. When I 1st looked at it form the distance I didn't realize it was a Savage. Then the front pulley cover came into focus when i got closer and I knew what I was looking at.

I have never seen another Ryca in person.
Thought I saw a cafe on the freeway one day but I was in a cage and couldn't catch him to confirm it.
I don't think I have seen maybe seven Savages beside dealerships period.
That six amigos pic was the most I've ever seen in one place.

The more I see Ryca's scrambler, the more I think they could have done a much better job with the seat.

It seems to be a current fad....flat as a board seats with little or no personality or padding.

A bit like the worthless LED headlight fad....they bolt on a couple of LED work lights that shine no more than 15 feet in front of the bike.

I like seats with a few curves and padding.

You sure you're only talking about seats here?

Well I do admit I did try to find an image on Google that showed a curvy seat/girl photo to post with that statement.  A lot of photos showed up that I just can't post....I kept looking....and I looked a lot - nope....not proper to post that stuff!

Just once.......a very long once! ;)

Maybe it would look better with this seat?  

Title: Re: Found a cute tracker

That long flat seat no matter how well it's done looks like it was stapled together on plywood in their garage aka: Brat Style ,not a tracker seat !
I much prefer the flat tracker styled seats gives the bike some eye candy , body lines like the H/D XR750 or the fiberglass bodywork on the old Champion framed flat tracker. Gives them a racing look !

Or on those cold days you could put one of those handwarmer packets in there!

Ryca sells a few seats that would look better IMO.  For example: http://shop.rycamotors.com/classic_seat_yamaha_sr400_sr500.html or http://shop.rycamotors.com/cafe_racer_seat_red_stitching_yamaha_sr400_sr500.html

Just saying.

Yeah , Keep those hemorrhoids comfortable.  ;D
