... the Minichamps 1:6 scale, Honda CB750. This is one of the most accurately detailed models I have in my collection. I might be compelled to say it rivals my most detailed Exotos, albeit, those are 1:18 scale. The chain is comprised of individual pieces. I regret not picking up the Kawasaki Z1 900. Now, the price of them on the secondary market is stratospheric!

As I noted, many folks would be fooled - they'd have no idea this is a scale model. The only tip off might be the "clean" tire tread, otherwise... NO WAY! There's a TON of detail work & trim that impress me but NOTHING more than that chain!
I have about a half-dozen 1/6 models, most with chains - including Franklin Mint's "museum quality" 1896 Henry Ford Quadracycle. That 1/6 chain is total garbage when compared to your Minichamps!
Once again, congratulations Marty!

@chris - I've had this model for many years. Yes, the chain is too good! If I were to register an issue, the front disc brake rotor needs to be scored to give a more realistic look.
