I have a fleet of the Maisto model bikes and Wifey has a super expensive 1-12 scale Kawasaki Z1 that is both beautiful and exquisitely well made. Her model cost on its own more than all twelve of mine cost together, but then hers has working bits on it like suspension forks and brake lines that are made from fine threads.

Try about £70 for one of these!

Have a look at the website here.

indeedey

I have a few, two Raptors a yellow pointy (grrr) SV and a Valentino Rossi Yamaha. Dylans got a Triumph and another one somewhere, as well as two Alpha Romeo specials.

Dave you won't find a curvy SV, just like I doubt I'll finds a silver VRaptor. Only ever them orrid reed ones.

There's a big model shop in Cardiff that had lots of these, I was surprised to see they even made a model pointy (in the very commonly seen orange :confused:) but looking through Maisto's catalog there's no Fazers at all, bleh!

I love the minichamps stuff but I'm a tightwad and i'm not willing to pay the money for them...

I used to make the tamiya models but I endded up getting annoyed as I couldn't get them built to my stupid exacting standards.
