If anything, building some of the nicest and roughest streetfighters is one of the things the Germans from Custom-Wolf do best. And to provide proof to back up such a bold statement, here's the Rau Tracker 2, a perfect example of street-terror taken over the top.
Based on a Honda Bol d´or 900 as Custom-Wolf themselves say, this Tracker is nothing short of exceptional as it brings the best of three words: custom bike-building, present-day technology and retro attire.
We knew this bike had some retro DNA the moment we heard the name, but we did not expect a girder fork, updated clubman-like bars with bar-end controls for brake and clutch. Whe kind of saw some leveled tank, seat and rear cowl, but the Wolves are way more surprising than we thought, especially with their own frame and swingarm design.
The flamed chassis is a glorious match for the raw sheet metal for the seat pan, cowl and ultra-aggressive tank. Adding a bullet headlight into the fork and keeping instrumentation to a "minimal minimalist" level (if you get the drift) was a genius idea.
Save for the Sebring silencer and the Buell rim-mounted rotors, everything was built in-house, and we bet the Rau Tracker 2 rides just as sharp as it looks. By the way, "Rau" stands for "Rough", jut to make things clear.
