| Honda VFR800 A Police version of this motorcycle was released in the fall of 2011 by Fujimi and I really like the design. I found some pictures on the Internet of a version decorated to celebrate the Honda "50th Anniversary of Racing" and decided that would be a cool build. There was quite a bit of bodywork involved in converting the police version and adding some missing detail. The Fujimi kit was quite simplified and I wouldn't say it was the best value for the amount of money - no engine, no brake, clutch, etc. cables and plastic tires!
