ultra detailed scale model of a 888 out from ebay...this is obviously the ultra rare beam framed version that never made it into production...

Minichamps eat yer heart out...!

Why produce a model that is THAT bad & who buys them?

Love the innovative swing-arm mounted footpegs! Grimeca wheels I think (where's Bob with the Jota - he'll know). Maybe it's actually one of these fine scale models...

Yeah,pretty crappy.
Not a patch on these little beauties.

Now that is a proper collection of class machinery.
Nice, where did you get those tasty bikes from.
Even better if you had all those in full size.

The smaller 888 on the plinth is a Protar!Its a scaled down version of the bigger ones.Quality is pretty good,the frame and forks are made of metal.
We used to have a great model shop in town where I could get them from.They even had a Protar catalogue to choose from.
The shop has now sadly gone,but I did see a guy selling Protar stuff at the MotoGP.
