In recent years, Suzuki has become a popular make for street tracker builds around the world. Builders have turned the small GN series bikes — some of the most popular learner bikes in the world — into lightweight trackers, as well as the plentiful, seemingly unkillable GS series bikes — donors which can still be picked up for a song. Then there’s the DR line of air-cooled dual-sports, which make ultra-tough street trackers, ready to slide tail-happy around the track and jump the curb in front of the nearest coffee shop.
Below, a selection of the best custom Suzuki street trackers we’ve featured here on BikeBound.
