@bandhav: Are they 1:12 scaled or 1:18 ??

My collection has both, around 6 1:12 & 13 1:18.

I am not specific about size, last sunday i was about to pick a R1 in 1:24 with working headlights

Are there any R1s available (scale model) with working 4-cylinder engine as well? I would LOVE to pick one up!

[BANDHAV]

^^Yes, there are but size is a little on the bigger side, i think its 1:1.

Thats a TOONED version - If you understand Scale Model lingo ! has no resemblance whatsover to anything real. has oversixed Headlights, Shortened wheelbase, Loud Large graphics, basically a "TOY" for children to play. Launched in india by some RMZ company or something !!

Scale model Motorcycles with Working Gasoline Engines are quite rare to find. You will definitely get some with Electric Motors run on battery.

Even if you do get a Gasoline/Fossil Fuel on it would run on Methanol or Kerosene or some other Scale Model Fuel and not gasoline.

These would be high end and professional models and could cost a Bomb too. Better still try checking one the Minibikes available with Avanti engines or Sunny Engines mated to a home built chassis and drivetrain. These could cost 12 - 25 K Approx.

The MV Agusta is available in 1:12 guise. at couple of places. Even the 1950's Vintage Racing Bike with a full fairing is availbale in 1:12. similar to this bike shown in the pic below. Will try to post a photo of the scale model i have.

Thanks Aryan - Serious collection has started off late only as Work and other commitments took away most of the Time and the Money.

The Hall of Fame also contains Cars, Aeroplanes, Military Vehicles, Trucks etc. Total should be close to 2000 and contains some legends also.

I am not very sure about the make, but the one i saw was not that bad, the R1 was in anniversary edition yellow color, stickering was spot on.

P.S: Bandhav, you have got competition!

Man, competition?

This is a knock out blow.
