I would push so hard to gain control of the IP
and push Yamaha to allow me to use their name and logo...
and open a store selling these kits.
But he probably signed an agreement with the original commissions.
Yamaha is smart...they would have maintained control of the models and protected their IP.
He can legally give some away to his 'friends', but thats about it.
So even if he wanted to share them for free, he still couldn't advertise, promote,
or use the Yamaha brand for his own purposes, etc
I would approach another Motorcycle dealer and make a better deal for a new paper model!
