Very nice - you did a great job. I've got one in progress (for several years....I probably need to get it going again). One of my favorite bikes - love the suspension. I haven't seen the gorgeous 1D in person, but there was a local dealer here that had a 3D in stock. Never worked up the nerve to ask for a test ride.

Thanks, you certainly should finish yours, it looks great on display, I don't know if I'd dare sit on one let alone ask for a test ride and don't know if any sane dealership would allow it unless you had a full deposit there and then.

I have one of those kits. It's a real interesting bike. Nice build.

Thankyou, it was a fun build and a little more challenging than the typical tamiya bike.

Wow, great model!

An exquisite build Mike, looks to be flawless. 

I know nothing about motorcycle kits, this one surely has my attention!  Thanks for opening up my eyes.
