Looking at doing something different a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Never done a motorcycle before looking for a early to mid 90's bike. Looking for some tips and advice on what to kinda look for thanks.

There aren't a lot of HD kits out there.  The ones that are tend to be pretty spendy (at least to me).  There is a facebook group dedicated to scale motorcycle modeling that I follow that is pretty good.  I haven't jumped into the motorcycle building myself yet but have thought about it a lot.  Tryin to find something that isn't a race bike, trike or chopper has been a challenge.

MC kits have many challenges. My short answer is, save money and buy a Tamiya kit, they are well thought out, relatively easy to build and look better for several reasons, the large scale means that the parts can be so large that they can withstand the model's own weight, wire spoke wheels are difficult in scale but Tamiyas look good. Unfortunately, an AMF Superglide was not the coolest bike but now 50 years later it is a bit cool in a different way.
Imex released some kits in the 90's with the Evolution engine, later Revell probably released the same kit, one or more of these have a springer fork and I strongly advise against them, choose a kit with a telescopic fork.
