I like to build the occasional motorcycle. This shelf was above my beds end table. I usually put the watch Du jour there, and my wallet and keys. That's Mum's and Dad there on their wedding day 1962.
We have a Yamaha TZ 250M racing bike. A Honda CR 450R dirt bike and a Honda Trail 70. I'm an H-D guy but find these Asian bike kits to be fun builds. I have several H-D kits in the stash but can never decide to build them as bobbers/choppers or stock. Perhaps one day I'll get to one.

Re: Bikes on a shelf
Nice! I do bikes on occasion as well and have the trail 70 in the stash. Never done a dirt bike, I only have motogp stuff in the stash. They are fun to build.
Thanks,
John

Re: Bikes on a shelf
I like the scooter and the dirt bike quite a bit. The crotch rocket for future organ donors aren’t my cup of tea. Although you made it look as good as the other two. Very nice trio there!

Lovely work! Way out of mf any zone I might have.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Bikes on a shelf
I haven't done a motorcycle kit in decades. I've done 3 in my younger years. Not for the faint at heart tackling motorcycle kits - especially with those delicate fiddly parts.
I'd love to do another motocross bike kit again.

That's a very nice trio. Well done!
