(PICS) A couple of amazing 50cc Honda racing bikes from the '60s

The 1/10 silver diecast model is from Ebbro a few years ago and the 1/10 red/silver bike was by Tamiya. Although I'm not a bike rider, I'm always tempted by finish and detail, and I find the level of detail on these two Honda racing bikes is amazing, including the Tamiya having a working roller chain. The Ebbro uses a flexible molded plastic chain facimile.

The Japanese and Germans were way ahead of America in product development and it seems so even now.
