This is a really cool modern looking Ducati Monster Street Tracker by BCR. They have lightened the bike and made it slightly narrower which makes it a lot easier to handle. The bike started of as a 2007 Ducati Monster S2R 800 with a little over 8K miles on the clock. For the first few months BCR used the Ducati as a daily commute, but after a while they got bored of the stock look, stock sound of the exhaust, and that dime a dozen look, so they decided to customise it. At first they were going to make it into a cafe racer but wanted to do something different for a change. BCR decided the build “We decided to take the bike apart, and turn it into a tracker/urban scrambler with a little steam punk flare.”
BCR said “Doing this project we found out that Ducati monster are great platform for any custom bike setup, be it cafe style or tracker/scrambler. Overall we are happy with how this project, Monster Tracker, came out. The bike is now lighter and narrow, and a lot easier to handle. Plus with all the custom parts that we did, we were able to make the parts mount on to the bike without making any modifications to the frame. In the future we might change the tires to a more rugged enduro tracker type tires.”
I love this bike, modern custom bikes are a bit of a rarity as people mostly try to make newer bikes look older. This is really nice, I love the split away exhaust system along with the off centre headlight. I think the only thing they need to do to truly finish the bike of is to add some scrambler tyres on the bike. The tank is perfect with a really sweet look paint scheme which runs through the front and rear of the bike.
