Crotch Rocket MT-01

Hello gentlemen. Well I was getting bored with real space and sci-fi ships so I thought I'd try something new. I found this really cool looking bike, a Yamaha MT-1. Just finnished the engine and moving on to the frame. As I've studied the instruction sheets it looks like a real challenge, I'm thinking the engine is going to be the easiest part. Well we'll see how it turns out.

apart from louddogs kit this is one of the best ones out there at the moment. just take your time, it does go on a bit but it will be worth it.
the only problem i had was with the 2 frame sections that run from the seat area, over the engine to the headstock, in just getting the angles right. most probably just me! got it to fit better the second time. judging by the great work on the engine you should'nt have any problem

Lower half of the frame done. I thought at first I had my printer set wrong, when I got to this point I thought oh no the frame's too small, but it all fit. This bike is just all engine, a true crotch rocket.

Made some decent progress this week end. It's actually starting to look like something.
