I remember this coming with a rider, who looked something like a sixties hippie throwback! Obviously Tamiyas idea of the type of guy who would ride such a bike.

Should make an attractive model though, have fun. You can use doll's house 1/12 scal resin figures to make a little diorama with it.

I built it before. Nice and pleasant kit. The only downside is that the muffler is chromed, but needs to be assembled with two parts and it's impossible to make it without visible joint, unless you chrome it again after sanding joint.

Are you going to paint it maroon or other colour?

EDIT:

I'd recommend to delete the picture with your address on it as there might be some visitors that will use it in somehow dodgy way..

Thanks Greg, I think it is the most beautiful bike ever built my mate had a 1100 midnight special import god I was jealous, I just had my 750 K4 he let me have a go and I have to say it handled like a pig but I would gladly cut off my right arm and given him my k4 and it for the bike the most beautiful thing I ever saw, I still remember riding it I felt like a king, I remember I nearly wet myself with excitement when he said I could ride it, oh man what a bike, it was long as well I mean really, don't know if the 535 had the same dimensions.

Nice and shiny! Reminds me of a wish by some random sheikh. Gold coated, chromed and a tank covered in diamonds;)

Well, thats an idea for You Ken!

Hi all here is tonight's offering. Got some cleaning to do on the front wheel I've noticed from pic but recon it will be finished soon, just a base then, was thinking of having it sliding down the road, lots of sparks flying out from under it, with the help of an led and some fiber optics. what do you all think
