motocycles

maffen,

I've only built one kit (Tamiya Bimota Tesi 1-D), but I do have a couple waiting for me on the shelf... My bench is still not set-up (just moved to a new house) and I likely won't be in building-shape for a couple of months yet. But....., when I do get going...... a motorcycle kit will be one of the first ones to build. After I finish all of the other ones that I've been procrastinating. OK, reality is it might be a few years before I get to the motorcycle kits.... Sorry...

I build bikes as well as autos.
I have quite a few to build as of right now.

the latest i build was : the yamaha roadstar (tamiya) - kawasaki streetracer (revell)- moto guzzi centauro (tamiya) - yamaha srx600 (tamiya) the one i'm now working on is the harley davidson electra glide (imai) with a pocketbike included , have some more on the shelf : honda gl1100 goldwing (fujimi) - suzuki gsx750 police bike (tamiya) - vincent black shadow (revell) - honda cb 750f (tamiya) - virago xv1000 (tamiya) - honda scrambler (1/8) revell - and from wild twin brothers (imai) : the stampede and death psycho ( great kits)

Does anyone know if there's a kit of the new-ish Yamaha Road Star Warrior? I love that bike and would love a model of it. When I get my car paid off in the next year or two, I'm going to buy one. Until then, mebbe I could just build one.

hi there, tamiya made this year the 1/12 scale road star from yamaha,its a great kit

I've seen the road star kit, and it's nice, but there is a version called the road star warrior, it's got a bigger engine and different stance. The tank is totally different as is the rake of the front, and the exhaust and suspension is completely different. I thought about getting the road star and trying to modify it, but that is way beyond my abilities I think, it's a radically different bike. That road star looks like it would be a nice kit, and it is Tamiya too, but I want the Warrior. Thanks for replying maffen!
