Motorcycle partworks are scarce !

I'd be all over either one of these classics.......

Love the Vincent but the Honda and Kawasaki are great. I had a couple Yamaha two strokes including a 400 Daytona Special and a 350 RD.

DiAgostini has a Rossi Yamaha parts work bike for sale. You may know that already.

I'm a bit longer in the tooth these days, but when I was younger I also had the RD350LC, and the air-cooled 400 ! 

The 400 handled like a brick and took a while to stop with the single piston solid disc front end, but it was fully ported with expansion chambers so the power delivery was pretty savage 😁

Yeah I know it's around but if I am going to do a part works bike, it would have to be a classic. Not a modern Moto GP bike.

Cheers.

The Vincent or Brough Superior.... 🤑

In India there's a 1/3 Royal Enfield if my memory is correct.

 

[keramh]

that would be very nice but unfortunately there is no way to get the Enfield outside of India.

And if I read it correctly, this model is probably already sold out???

MFH makes some great classic bikes in 1/12 scale.

[Franknstang]

Correction. The MFH bikes are 1/9 scale. Their cars are 1/12.

That would also be something great as a partwork model...

A beautiful combination, thanks for the picture.

In what scale would you like motorcycle models, the market has everything from 1:3, 1:4, 1:6.

I definitely don't want something smaller.

[Modellbau Schwaben]

If so, it should be in 1:4 scale...

[Franknstang]

I built a few 1/24 scale and plastic. They were a disaster.

I had an RD350LC too.  It was a beast when it hit the power band!  I do have the Tamiya kit in may display cabinet.  The only vehicle I owned that I also have as a model.
