Semper_Fi Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have run into this piece and as a very jaded diecast collector was quite impressed with the fit, finish and detail. There are only two colors avaialable, Silver and Red. This is a worthy piece for any collection. The bike from Autoart The packaging Both side-stand and center-stand are functional - including working retracting springs "Driver's" view - note keyfob Clutch and Throttle control details Saddlebag - handle moves, and clamshell opens Saddlebags Mounted Tire tread detail - even though you see the parting line of the mold the Pilots looks great Tank bag - mounts onto rails and can be opened Roundel Details Fully outrigged - ready to ride, if you were 6" tall!

Hermes Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Very nice, how does it run ?? Would you have any idea where one could get a diecast for a R1150RT? Jurgen Link to comment
Jerry_75_Guy Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Wow! That's got to be one of the most detailed diecasts I've seen to date. Of course, like everyone else, now I'm wondering if they have either of my bikes in their line; I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the pics!: very nice. Link to comment

stubble! Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 That's gorgeous. Sure would love to find a K12S. Link to comment
BeniciaRT_GT Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 They only seem to make the R1200RT. I've got many of these for other cars and bikes I've owned, but still haven't found a good GTII yet. I found them here: Linky for $59.95 Link to comment
Richard_D Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 http://www.ioffer.com/offer_transactions/show/1432001 I found this one in Silver for $5.95 at Big Lots Link to comment
Semper_Fi Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 A small update - as I was repacking the bike after the "photo shoot" i discovered the following details. - front and rear wheels turm - functional suspension front and rear - replicated telelever design - foot pegs (F/R) can be swung out of the way. Post by Benrica shows the price at $59 - i think that is the best one can do to get it. Question anybody know where to get a small battery powered lazy-susan mirror backed display? Link to comment
awagnon Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 If you look really close you can see the final drive leaking. Link to comment
