With a design based on the 2011 XL1200N Nightster, the XLST3 Sportster Tracker is also roughly modeled after 1970s dirt bikes. Giving it an old racer look are a chain and sprocket instead of a belt drive system, a push start button installed in the right side of the frame neck, gold Ohlins shocks in the rear suspension, fitted handlebars, and a seat and exhaust system handmade by Shaw Speed and Custom. Overall, the XLST3 Sportster Tracker is a cool dirt bike with an amazing style and performance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro-revival Dirt Bikes:** Opportunity for customization and modernization of vintage dirt bike designs. - **Custom Motorcycle Creations:** Growing demand for unique and personalized motorcycles for enthusiasts. - **Award-winning Customizations:** Recognition and prestige for innovative and exceptional custom bike designs. ### Where This Applies - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Opportunity for motorcycle manufacturers to create and market retro-inspired dirt bikes. - **Motorcycle Customization:** Growing industry for creating custom and personalized motorcycles for customers. - **Motorcycle Events and Competitions:** Opportunity to showcase and award exceptional custom motorcycle designs at events and competitions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Vintage-Inspired Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harleydavidson-nightster-special.md) - [Small-Scale Performance Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triumph-thruxton-400-and-tracker-400.md) - [Water-Cooled Sportster Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harleydavidson-nightster.md) - [Angular Dirt Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-adventure-scrambler.md) - [Retro All-Terrain Motorcycle Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-honda-xl750-transalp.md) - [Retro Mini Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1969-dax-st125-minimotorcycle.md) - [Retro-Inspired Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawk-11.md) - [Tracker-Inspired Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-livewire-s2-del-mar.md) - [Customized 90s-Inspired Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-ts185.md)
