I had no idea that AutoArt made motorcycles.  Your collection is very nice with some great models.  I also like the variety of your models.  Very nice pictures.  I like the way you have them laid out on the forums.   Thanks for sharing!!

1957 BMW R-50 Motorcycle & Steib Side Car

I'm sure many of you have seen this model before. I love motorcycles with sidecar and this Beemer became the first model in my collection.

[guggga]

Cracking detail all over it!

[lazard]

Yes, it is a very nice model.

Lovely model, the Bosch logo on the headlight blew my mind and is that real leather they've used on the sidecar seat ?
I too enjoy sidecar bikes I have 3 BMWs including one with a "zeppelin" style sidecar, albeit all of them in 1/18 scale.

I’m back. And I want to show you new model in my collection.

Awesome model. Awesome !
I noticed these are getting very expensive lately.

[valiant]

Those Classics are beautiful, both of them!
Are the BMW and the sidecar detachable?
Or do you have two BMW's : one with and one without the sidecar?
I have been both driving and being a passenger in a sidecar like that, but attached to a Moto Gussi Californian from the 60ties a long time ago.

This model was a discovery for me . The model’s prototype, which I have not been paying attention. I saw it by accident, and I fell in love with its shape.

As for the model, the quality of manufacture , method of mounting in the box and the box itself , all the evidence indicates that the manufacturer of this model Skynet, more known under the name Automax . Models of this maker (bimmer, ktm, streetfighter) you can see  in my collection. And the quality of it , I tell you , very good .

Alas , the price is not adequate . Apparently this is due to the fact that the model is only sold at authorized dealers . Enjoy and thank you.

I am pleased to present to you the new Russian manufacturer of motorcycle models in 1:18 scale. The first model was the police version of the Soviet Ural motorcycle.

Nice one, and thank you for the great pictures.

I'm trying to get my hands on one of those. How much did it cost you, I found it for around 35 EUR in a Russian store.
Also what are your impressions of the model, it's too colorful being a "ГАИ" and all to tell from the pictures ?

I'm waiting for the next MsModles diecast the JAWA 634, do you know when it will be out ?

Awesome Ural. I always/still want one, 1:1. They are kind of cheap and there has been no reason not to. One day. Do you know if that company made other Urals?

In Russia in cost about 30 euro.
Unfortunately, exact release date of the Jawa is unknown.
Overall, the model produces a nice impression. Good detail of the engine, suspension and instrument panel. Headlight, taillight, turn signals are made ​​of transparent plastic. Rear mudguard is made of rubber.
The only disappointment is delivered only spokes. They are two times thicker than a scale to be 1:18.
A model very good packaging. It has a plastic box, in which even a plastic blister.

It is good to see such a nice model and it is good to see azbuka.

Awesome bikes. I started getting into them recently and there a lot that I want to get. I only have Autoart's Paul Smart for now. Have you heard about Pocher's giant 1:4 scale bike that's supposed to come later this year?

[McSim]

A new KTM from Automaxx to my 1:12 scale motorbike collection. This is the first  of four KTM models, that I bought last year. The Automaxx made nice model. See the photos.

Nice models and sharp photos.
Automaxx (= Joy City) is, in my opinion, the best low-price 1/12 bike model manufacturer, however, some of their models are not so low-priced but still cheaper than Minichamps, Wit's or AUTOart.
The Super Duke would be nice paired with the Streetfighter (made by Automaxx too, of course).
