About this Group
Motorcycle riding is one of the greatest joys in life, a combination of exhilaration, fear, relaxation and pleasure that changes you forever: a physical & emotional pleasure, with a layer of anxiety & adrenaline.
Exposed to the elements, feeling every nuance of weather, you smell everything and feel everything.
Νever fully relaxed, you get smart about the rules of the road, learning to foresee and predict other drivers’ intentions.
The Motorcycle: a technological marvel, parked at our place, ready to take us to the office or to the edge of earth upon our command.
Motorcycles are very attractive modeling subjects, with the finished models looking really amazing. This GB, created after the inspiration and support of the wonderful fellows George Williams and Rory Wilson, is intended to provide a dedicated playground for entering and building your motorcycle models.
Any kit and any type is welcome! Even if it is not a motorcycle but you feel it has a connection to the subject, do not hesitate to enter it: how about building the XX199 BAe Hawk that competed with a heavily modified Kawasaki? Or building a dirt bike trailer? Or getting wild and coming up with paddock diorama? Let’s keep it fun!
Already finished builds are equally welcome and will enrich the GB's posture for sure. Also, threads posted at our iModeler Automotive Group, may very well continue from here (a suggestion might be to paste the thread link here and continue after it). No time frames whatsoever.
If you fancy building your first motorcycle model, but still feel reluctant to do so (like Yours Truly’s at the time of this GB creation) do not hesitate to rush your kit into this GB and build it. I am willing to say that you are going to have a wonderful experience and come up with a gorgeous looking model, which certainly will not be your last.
Happy Modelling!

@fiveten, thank you, Spiros @chinesegeorge, thanks, George. My daughter is happy already now that I started it right away.

I’m sure you’re going to enjoy this build, @johnb, and the best part will be the thanks you will get from your daughter when she proudly receives the finished model from her dad.
-
Nice start, my friend @johnb!

And off we go, seperated some parts for the engine and painted them with Vallejo Metal Colors, silver.

What a wonderful entry, what a wonderful present you got from your daughter, my friend @johnb! Might not be a weekend build, but you will do a splendid job. Looking forward to it!

For this build, I have to blame my daughter, even though it's not a bad thing. My daughter really likes the MotoGP and did convince me some time ago to build the Suzuki GSX-RR '20. That was my first ever bike […]

@ssgt thanks Jay, it’s Tamiya’s fault, their paint dries to quick 🙂

This is really a cool looking scooter, Cricket (@bikequeen). And you got it done with lightning speed.

Are you serious about the five hours, Cricket @bikequeen It is really amazing to get this result in such a short time, beautiful. I would not have been able to get this done in five days. Glad you had a perfect […]

@brithebuilder @johnb @fiveten @ssgt @jdtruby @clipper @gblair @anthonyricco @epinac I was bored yesterday, so I knocked this out in 5 hours while waiting for the eclipse to start which was quite […]
