1:12 Scale Maisto MV Agusta Brutale 1090R/1090RR

New MV Agusta Brutale 1090R & 1090RR from Maisto (1/12 Scale)

Finally, after the long wait Maisto has make new 1:12 scale motorbikes for their 2013 catalogue. These two have finally arrived in Singapore! I'm pretty impressed by the details for the MV Agusta Brutale 1090R & 1090RR, vibrant colours, nice decals which look exactly the same like the actual bikes. Of course, the details are not as good as those from Minichamps but they are still able to provide the structures of the motorcycles build. Thanks to Maisto, I have 2 additional 1:12 scale diecast added to my collection which makes it 166 pieces now. However, I'm still waiting for the release of 1:12 scale Ducati 1199, Mv Agusta F3 series and F4 to arrive. Stay tune for more updates.

Ducati 916 is an sport bike motorcycle made by Ducati from 1994 to 1998. In contrast to Japanese inline four-cylinder competitors of the time, its V-twin engine produced less outright power, but a more even torque spread. The 916 model was replaced by the 996 model in 1999.

 1:12 Scale Tamiya Ducati 888

Ducati 888 was a motorcycle manufactured by Ducati as an upgrade to the Ducati 851. The earlier 851 had introduced liquid cooling, computerized fuel injection and four-valve heads to the company's two cylinder motors. In 1991 Ducati increased the capacity of the 851 to 888 cc to create the 888. Both engines featured the Desmoquattro valvetrain concept in which a four valve per cylinder motor was given desmodromic valve actuation, with cams both opening and closing the valves.

What is 1:12 Scale Motorbike?

1:12 scale is a traditional scale (ratio) for models and miniatures, in which 12 units (such as inches or centimeters) on the original is represented by one unit on the model. In this case, 1:12 scale on a motorcycle diecast is approximately 7 inches (17.78cm) width and 4 inches (10.16cm) height. Brands like autoART and Minichamps produce highly detailed motorcycles diecast. These motorbikes replicas have the exact detailing as on the actual bikes.

The Mike Hailwood^TM Replica, the latest development of the renowned 900 Super Sport, was produced by Ducati to celebrate 1978 Tourist Trophy victory. Created for hard-core Ducatisti, the bike was not even fitted with an electric starter. Stately and impressive, it was truly a biker's bike.

1:12 Scale Kawasaki Milky Street [MOD]

This was my first ever made 1/12 scale motorcycle with headlights. Running on pill batteries and LEDs, very simple circuit attached inside the body of the 1/12 scale Maisto diecast. This is definitely one of my favourite modded diecast in my motorbikes collection.

1:12 Scale Maisto Rockstar [Mod]

1:12 Scale Kawasaki Maisto Rockstar [MOD]

Spending about 3 days, this 1/12 scale Maisto diecast was first an original Kawasaki ZX 6R, thereafter, I transformed the 1/12 scale diecast into a first Kawasaki Rockstar using crystal sticker paper. The crystal stickers were sticked one by one onto the body of the 1/12 scale Kawasaki. The end result was awesome especially under lights in the detolf cabinet.
