Here at BikeBound, it’s no secret that we’re big fans of street trackers, flat trackers, and supermotos. And we aren’t alone — so are you, our readers. One of our Top 10 Customs of 2022 was Badass Factory’s “Baby V-Max” Yamaha FZX750 street tracker, and several of our Top 10 Two Strokes were trackers. Flat track inspired builds continue to be some of the most popular builds on BikeBound.
So we decided to follow up with a list of the most popular trackers and supermotards we featured last year, based on traffic and social shares. Just for clarification, this is an objective list based on the statistics we compiled. Stay tuned for our Editor’s Choice list coming soon!
Without further ado, here are the BikeBound Top 10 Trackers and Supermotos of 2022, presented in alphabetical order by builder.
