And this is one of my favorites. The BSA Rocket 3! BSA, along with its sister company, Triumph, both released their first multi-cylinder motorcycles in 1969. Both were three cylinders with the center exhaust being split and shared with the outside cylinder exhausts. The exhaust sounds of these motorcycles were mesmerizing. I was fortunate enough to ride a Rocket 3. It wasn't as quick as my Kawasaki 500 H1 Triple, but it was still very satisfying. I consider myself lucky to be able to add this 1:12 motorcycle to my collection to display with my Kawasaki 750 H3 triple and the awesome and almighty 6-cylinder Honda CBX. I also have a Honda CB750 in giant 1:6 scale.
BTW, if I ever buy another motorcycle, it most definitely would be the 1979 Honda CBX. I coveted the motorcycle since it was introduced by Honda in 1979. A version in pristine condition today would probably be around $30k, though.

I really like all the motorcycles from the 60s era; British, American, Japanese alike. Their styling is comparatively simple to modern the stuff but I prefer it by far.

Congrats! These look terrific - very realistic; I'm sure most would be fooled. 👍 👍

I've looked closely at all the pics and am still not sure if steering is on the right or left 🤔

@100ford2003 - Ha! However, the gearshift is located on the left, and the rear brake is positioned on the right.
