Hi Simon,
I have the same YZR-M1 kit (and its white liveried brother) in the stash so I’m keen to see this progress. The Indianapolis version is new to me too so I’ll be definitely following along.

The work so far is flawless - should be a real beauty when finished.
All the best
Paul

I love the bike, but I honestly don't think I could do this, Simon. This is like building a car, it's gotta be clean and there's nowhere to hide the glue blobs. If I can't splatter a bunch of mud or dust it, I'm in trouble. This is looking great already! Ruck On!
