Tracker 400 (MY2026)

4 / 5 NastyNils Rating · against its class

Flat-Track Soul, Entry Price

The Machine's Character

The Tracker 400 brings American flat-track styling to the entry-level naked class. It's more than a costume, because the whole bike is built around the look. The core is a 398 cc liquid-cooled single making 41 hp at 9,000 rpm and 28 lb-ft at 7,500 rpm. Those numbers tell you it likes to rev and doesn't want to be short-shifted. It sits in a steel perimeter frame with an upside-down fork, 17-inch wheels at both ends, and ABS plus traction control as standard. What surprised me most is the finish. At this price the paint, detailing and overall presentation feel a class above, which is the Triumph touch done properly.

This is a light, approachable motorcycle. At 381 lb (173 kg) wet with a 31.4 in (798 mm) seat, it doesn't intimidate, it steers with very little effort, and it stays settled when the pace picks up. Running costs stay low, and there's plenty of aftermarket scope to make it your own. It suits newer riders, city riders, and experienced riders who want a light second bike with real style. My honest caveat: the fork has no adjustment at all, and only the rear shock takes preload. With 41 hp and a 3.4 gal (12.9 L) tank, long highway days aren't what it does best.

A winding asphalt road descending through the Appalachian Mountains, likely the famous Tail of the Dragon section in Tennessee and North Carolina. Multiple technical right-hand and left-hand curves are visible in this aerial perspective, surrounded by deciduous forest in spring foliage. Clear sunny conditions, well-maintained asphalt with yellow center lines marking the curves.

The 'Should I Buy It?' Score

Forget spec-sheet bragging. Here's who the Tracker 400 is actually built for.

A scenic view of Angeles Crest Highway winding through rugged Southern California canyon terrain. Rocky mountainsides with golden earth tones frame the asphalt road with tight sweeping curves. Double yellow center line visible, sparse vegetation along the shoulders, clear blue sky with white clouds. Daylight, dry conditions. Iconic location for canyon-road enthusiasts.

Best motorcycle for Bay Area?

This one fits you well. It's light and nimble for San Francisco traffic, easy to park, looks great in photos, and it's genuinely fun on a Saturday run up to the ridge roads.

Best motorcycle for Texas Hill Country?

On the twisty Hill Country back roads it's a light, grin-inducing partner. Just know that 41 hp and a 3.4 gal tank make the long highway stretch out of Austin the least fun part of the day.

Best motorcycle for Angeles Crest?

You'll love how easily it flicks through the canyons, but at 41 hp with a non-adjustable fork it's a fun, stylish second bike, not a replacement for your sharp canyon weapon.
