    I like certain types of motorcycles.I call them cool bikes. This is one of them, I also have to admit that knowing that the Chinese can manufacture these cool bikes and that they could be sold relatively cheap in the USAand are notis to put it mildlyfrustrating.


    However these are being replicated in china and being sold through a company called SKYTEAM...not in the USA though..oh no...and why is that?

    reminds me of a farm bike... some family relatives had a similar looking bike that my uncle used on the farm to round-up sheep and other farmers used to bring in the cows for milking...

    Its a tracker.the original model from 1972.



    I am not 100% sure but I believe that the AMA still sanctions an under 250cc class flat track race.
    I know they have a 750cc class and this bike would be typical for that class.


    I guess it would make sense that ranchers would use the bikes for herding?
    The manufacturer that is making the replica Skyteam makes little bikes, I would call them minibikes. The original RV125 to me looks like a oversized minibike. I would say that Suzuki had some creative engineers in 2002/2003 they introduced the VAN VAN and also the Grass Tracker 250 that year.
    The Grasstracker also went by the Bigboy or TU250GB




    Here is the limited version of the VAN VAN 200 also called a RV200Z.
