I've got some Maisto and Hot Wheels Harleys for Zartan and his pals. They really look good with proper vehicles. (they are all a bit different, but you can't really tell in the pic)

Not all the sport bikes are compatible with Joes. I picked up a Ducati 748. Joes can't sit on it, properly. Best I can get with the figure actually sitting on the seat, is to have their shins on the pegs. And, this is with figures that can get a good 90 degree bend in their hips.
I've got a black and gold Yamaha that works, better, thanks to it's more relaxed riding postion. It's getting heavily kitbashed into a Stormhawks inspired flyer. The Hevy Hitters line has a nice dirtbike mold, but they cost almost as much as a Joe, and the suspension spring isn't strong enough to support the weight of the 25a figures. The fig they come with sucks out loud. I got to looking at 1:18 motocycles too late, and I can't seem to find any cruiser style bikes. The sport bikes are seriously hit and miss, based on riding position. |

I grabbed these first, but thought they looked a tad too small...the Dollar store ones seriously kick ass! they are a little larger, plus the handle bars are long enough that they can lean back and look comfortable...Ill post my pics in a day or 2 when i get my camera back...

I like the Maisto dirt bikes. Here is a few pics of one I customized along with my Cobra Vamp and Motor Trooper.

I have Red Star riding the Nazi bike from the Indy line and just found the Mutt bike that is colored almost exactly like Zartan... It was a natural fit for him. The rest of the Dreadnoks are riding Hot Wheels hogs (a green one for Ripper and a blue one for Torch) and some knock-off clearance Honda from Meijer (yellow) for Buzzer's sunny blond disposition...
I think they look cool on the bikes but I will need to beef up some of the kick stands so they stand upright. It was a bear to get Torch to fit on his bike, though...

I have a one fast lane chopper for buzzer, and I bought both the "twin flame" paint jobs from the Hot Wheels MOTO bikes for the other two. They look sweet. Still looking for one for Zartan. post some pics id like to see some of these other bikes you guys found.
