After seeing so many beautiful motorcycles being presented by George @chinesegeorge and this motorcycle group being created by Spiros @fiveten, I could not resist to participate when receiving the invitation.

With no experience at all regarding motorcycle modelling I'm curious about what to expect.

Having no motorcycle in stash and my local modelshop having none as well, I looked around the net and finally settled with the Team Suzuki ECSTAR MotoGP bike from 2020. Not the cheapest one, but being from Tamiya I think it will be a pleasant kit to build. Being ordered in Czech Republic, I might need to wait a bit before having it in hand.

Hi John @johnb, what a great kit to choose, one of Tamiya’s latest kits, I’m sure that with your modelling skills a fabulous Moto GP bike will appear, the World Championship winning bike from 2020 no less. I’d recommend you also order the front fork detail up kit from Tamiya as well. Really looking forward to seeing this. Happy modelling.

@chinesegeorge, thanks a lot, George. I was hoping to find a model of my own Suzuki, but it doesn't exist. I will have a look for the front fork detail, although this kit was already quite pricey.

@rory, thank you, Rory. Plans are indeed to build it with number 36. A pity that Suzuki will withdrawal after this season.

Tracking such a package can be very exciting, my friend @johnb!
It will be great once you receive it an enter it at our GB!

Too far to simply bring it a visit, George @chinesegeorge
And even more undoable because of the restrictions.
I do have some shops within 30 minutes distance, by car, but they are becoming rare as well.

Same here in Greece, one after the other hobby shops are sadly disappearing...

What an arrival, my friend @johnb! The box art looks spectacular (so "Tamiya")! Makes you wanting to open and dig inside! Looking forward to see the contents and this lady to be put together!
