We've had the occasional post about motorcycles here, but they are few and far between in our chosen scale.  In case you are not a subscriber, here is a new one from a brand called Tiny!  See MAR Online for more photos.

Really nice looking bike with great detailing for the smaller scale! I have a few 1/24th but not the 43rd - NICE!

Me neither, I have some in 1/32, 1/24, 1/18, 1/8, and 1/6... but not 1/43.   I'll turn in my "collector badge".....   😒 😔 😔

I have found 1/43 motorcycles almost impossible to find. I have maybe seven or eight, all 1/32. One I'm looking for is an "easy rider" type of Harley from late '60s so if anyone has any pointers (1/32) I'd be grateful.

RailKing issued at least three sets of Harleys in 1/48 scale maybe 15-20 years ago. I have one of them.

 I wish I could help.... but I'm not God (which is your best bet )    I know what you want, but finding it in 1/32 will require a miracle (I believe )

@chris Thanks for your understanding.  This is exactly what I'm after - head-gear to boot - and one would think them so iconic, as to find the like in every scale. With so much going on in the world, it seems trivial praying to God for one of these, though as you say, it's probably my best bet.

Yep, I agree!  Especially when so many reality TV motorcycle shows are (or rather were ) commonplace.

All those motorcycles look excellent ! And that police cycle is especially cool and certainly eye-catching, Karl. I have a couple of motorcycles from the Models of Yesteryear series and they are nicely done

@karl I thought that Y-8 was larger than 1:43.

Very neat and informative box for the Sunbeam motorcycle, Karl ! Being a small kid when I got this motorcycle, the box was undoubtedly tossed away and I just happily played with the cycle. Silly

After World War 1, my Grandfather briefly worked for Harley-Davidson before joining Diamond T.

Certainly, all those other motorcycle and chopper two-wheeled vehicle replicas shown here look excellent at even this small scale.

I’ve used a couple 1/48 scale bikes in one of my dioramas. Not the most detailed, but they work well in the scene.
