“Techno Tracker” is a custom-built homage to the ’70s era Yamaha board trackers of old. Built by Dan Riley of Gunn Design, this bike is sure to turn some heads. Check it out!
Nostalgia is a drug. But that doesn’t mean that it’s bad. Nostalgia often leads artists to create elegant and tasteful pieces that allow people to reflect on the past. And in the motorcycle community, that means awesome custom builds that transport us back to decades past where designs looked much different than they do today.
Something as little as a paint scheme can take you back; case in point, this 1975 Yamaha XS650 we spotted at Mama Tried. The bike was built by Dan Riley of Gunn Design, a one-off custom motorcycle builder out of Minneapolis.
The paint job on the late ‘70s YZ80 gas tank is is obviously meant to mirror the block and stripe design of ‘70s era Yamaha board trackers, in particular, the likes of the Yamaha TZ750 that Kenny Roberts used to win the 1975 Indianapolis Mile. Riley’s motorcycle, named the “Techno Tracker,” is a stripped-down tribute with just as much power.
The build began after Riley reached out to Tucker Powersports to collaborate on a build. He pitched the idea of building a custom bike using parts sourced from brands distributed by Tucker to its dealer. Most pf the outward appearance is comprised of mainly bolt-on parts, which was meant to serve as an example of what can be done with a cost-efficient budget.
“I wanted to build something that’s super stripped-down and super light,” Riley said. “I have a little bag to carry my phone and keys and there’s just enough gas to get me around the block. It’s just a pure ripper, tear up the neighborhood type bike.”
“I wanted to do some Mini Ape Hangers but still keep the moto vibe, so I went with the ProTaper EVO Adventure High handlebars with eight inches of rise and used DTX wheels off of a 450. On the left side I have a full system of stainless exhaust with Two Brothers Racing exhausts.”
The motorcycle also features a motocross seat cover, a fender off of a RMZ450, and a Motone Customs Bates style taillight with turn signals. The taillights and signals are virtually invisible during the daytime, letting the bike keep its dirt bike vibe.
