Hi Andy, Just had a browse at this one. Looks the business, but seeing the price and the reviews, I personally would not rush into one. Just my view though.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

It's a bit cheaper here http://www.modelhobbies....gine-11202-p-22828.html
But I would agree the fit is not the best and the instructions difficult to follow. Graham

As well as being operable, it appears that the engine kit also has red micro bulbs to simulate the plugs sparking.
Haynes do a manual for the bike which could be useful for detailing.

Found this on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkV94Qn6YbQ
Sounds like it has a flat battery It does look like a kit that given some work could turn out very nice Happy modelling Tony Happy Modelling

Pricing may have something to do with this being a discontinued model. Think the seller on amazon is banking on the limited supply now hence the high price. Did a search earlier and a good many of the model shops that list it show zero stock. Happy modelling Tony Happy Modelling
