Hi Dr Sprint
I was very fortunate to receive one yesterday from Frits Passet, Hornby's International Director, who was exhibiting at the Dubai 2004 Toy Fair.
I haven't had an opportunity to try it yet, but the detail is exquisite. I personally believe that MotoGP will be huge, opening a whole new market and hopefully attracting a spill over to slot racing.

My only reservation is that the handlebars are rather delicate and I think that they will break rather easily in the event of a crash. The rider is attached to the seat by way of a magnet, so can come off rather realistically in the event of a tank-slapper or high-side!
With kind regards
Russell
