I do allot of fine scale modeling myself as a hobby among other things. I'll search the internet first and usually I end up going to my local hobby store and ordering what I want. You'll pay extra but depends on what you want and how bad. I wanted a model of an 06 1Krr, but no luck. They did have an 05 however. So I got an 05. You need to hit up those little mom and pop hobby shops, the kinda place you can buy brass tubing, skin, props and gears from ect....those are the ones, not the hobby lobby or large retailers as they are usually disinterested folks just working as compared to the local shop that is into the hobby scene as well.

Yeah, I can't think of anybody that has made one...if the big names did it once, they're probably discontinued it due to the molds wearing out from repeated use. I usually stick with tamiya kits, but they primarily have race bikes, new and old. Lots of RC211V's, M1's and Suzuki GSXV's. Most model companies shyed away from the production bikes for some reason. Check ebay, sometimes people will have older kits uncompleted that they want to get rid of that you can't find anymore.

Had a look at their site, looks like their from a company called Maisto http://www.maisto.com/products_home.asp
Got a few myself, although I've can't track the right one down for my model & colour scheme. they are ok, look good, but lack some detail in places (like parts of left side painted the colour of the fairing, when some should aluminium) and on the one for my bike the F as in F600 is reversed on the other side. & can't figure out why some models have mirrors and others don't.
