Well , since I am a big MotorGP fan I am considering getting a rc motorcycle . Any input on these Kyosho 1/8 Leaning Rider Bikes , they look like an interesting project and also inexpensive.

I have one, Ive had since 1989 I love it. I havent ran it in a long time. I have it out to restore it If you buy one buy 4 or 5 body parts sets , as they are hard to find. but they are a lot of fun and a chalenge to run their not very fast but once you get it their a blast. 3 of my friends had them and we would race, thats a lot of fun but, hard on the paint!

The Radio Shack one of Ricky Carmichael Trials bike is a blast, we have a few over here, and they will take a brushless upgrade as well.

On road, I have a cheap Nikko 1/5 leaning rider one that''s fun but not very sophisticated,


I have a Kyosho FA that is great fun.


And a vintage Graupner I adore but it's a little slow.



Of course the Thunder tiger nitro and electric are amazing and Jewel in the crown are nuova faor I think you spell it

Nice collection purpletimbo . I will probaly pick-up one of the Kyosho's , Ultimate Hobbies has them in stock for Fifty-nine. I also saw a Venom Gp at my local lhs that looks fun.

Who knew there were so many? Not me. This might be yet another place to branch into for me. Yikes!

I own a Ricky a Kyosho FA and a Nikko, sadly not a Nuova or a Thunder tiger as yet, also that Graupner, and a couple of much older ones with rideres with real cloth racing suits to rebuild
And that just scratched the surface of what's out there

I have the Suzuki RGV it was only Released in Japan. My daughters God father brought it back from a buiness Trip. I wish I could find some parts for it, I want to restore it. It was ran very hard.

i was at a train show in valley forge pa on sat and one of the vendors had a 1/8 scale bike made by venom, it was pretty cool looking.
