Title: A Nice Little Model .......Hmmmm!
Post by: colin400four on July 10, 2010, 11:29:00 AM

I took these pictures at the October 2009 classic bike show. Here is a picture of a mint Suzuki GS750, A very nice bike indeed, but look closer and on a stand above the bike is an exact scale model of this bike, right down to the rear carrier,

Hats off to this guy, the model is all hand built and is not a kit. It took him 15 winters to make this thing. Can you imagine the skill involved !!!!!!!!!!!!!.

This Bike and the model was recently featured in the classic motorcycle mechanics magazine and rightly so.

COLIN.

Both are lovely...& I love the tax disc on the scale model.

Reminds me of the Ferrari car scale model that was built by someone with no engineering skill at all...& even had the right sound of the exhaust that the full scale car emits.

Question is, does the model actually run? It looks like it could..
