The only SD 1290 that I can afford

I see Maisto came out with a 1:12 diecast model. At least I can afford this one. And it is orange which is the faster colour...



On p53 in the Maisto catalogue:

T.

Doesn't come with an action figure in period gear...

Cool thanks for posting, I'm going to finally get a 1290 of my own.

Comrades: The sellers must have used the KTM marketing department because it's not actually available yet. Rumour is that it will have a marketing buildup involving a number of "Specials" and that the final release will be in first quarter of 2015 in Europe. Buyers in the US should anticipate a delay of at least six months.

I'd like to warn any interested parties that the balsa Kawasaki has wooden brakes.

Well I finally got my own 1290 for under $15 off ebay.

Was sent one of these by my dealer last week as a Thank You for my custom, but you should see the amount of movement in the rear hub.

I never found SD 990 model, bit shame as I wanted to joint it to my collection
