The original flat trackers were nothing more than the cheapest, most beat down bikes available.

Flat Track racing has enjoyed a rebirth in the pats few years on the back of just one engine. The Kawasaki 650 fell into the hands of Privateers and Harley Davidson started to get their butts whipped. The Howerton team that won this year with Bryan Smith is not associated with the factory but beat the Harley/Vance and Hines Factory bikes at their own game.
Sadly Indian has entered that sport by buying the three best riders and the winning team. Even still privateers can buy Indians and have taken races in the past from the factories. I'm hoping that the few good riders left on Kawasakis will stir things up. One brand racing stinks. Flat Track suffered through it for forty years.
