Hi!!! In hlj the RC211V (http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM14096) is discontinued when i wanted the bike hlj They said to me that Tamiya does not have thought to do it i see

In the 2004 Tamiya Catalog this Honda and the Valencia They do not appear in

What do you think?? this is the last Honda bike driven by Rossi... maybe Honda paid for to make disappear...

Best Regards

:dunno: Some kits do come and go quickly, perhaps this is one example? Maybe it is true the Rossi-Honda relationship is the problem, maybe just a coincidence...

Or eventual "must have" kit, that will be very hard to get in future. Good thing I have it :D
And long gone S27 trident white metal exhausts ;)

That is a special edition kit with metal parts included. They always sell out quickly and do not return. :)
For what it is worth my distributor still has a few in stock. I just picked mine up last week.

Because this '03 Repsol and Valencia are limited edition. Limited edition kits usually have a small black star under the description of the model in Tamiya magazine. Just like the Honda Pon '01(West version).
In 2004 catalog, we can't see this honda and Valencia is because when the catalog release on market, these 2 model is not, but I can see it on 2005 catalog. :2cents:
