I'm looking to pick up some motorcycles for a diorama using 25th anniversary dreadnoks and was wondering what others are using. I've seen some cheap 1:18 scale cycles at Walmart and TRU but not sure how well they'll actually look on them and if they'll reach both the handlebars and footpegs. Any Suggestions?

I've bought various brands of the 1:18 cycles and never had any trouble with the 25th figures sitting on them (outside of the occasional limited movement that the 25th line suffered from early on).

i got a black hog for the terminator i made, he fits but his feet dont quite reach the foot pegs! i have some dirt bikes of the same brand, but havent put any guys on em to see! the brand i used was tru brand an kb brand, they are made by the same maker an are the same exact bikes , jus different name! but for a guy to fit perfect, it would probably have to do wit' the guy an the bike! one dude might fit on one bike an the next might not! you know?

I have a bunch of motorcycles for my dreadnoks. While Maisto 1/18 bikes are a little less expensive, they tend not to stand up. My favorite bikes, and the ones I highly recommend are the Hot Wheels Bikes they are great. Zartan and Dreadnoks fit really well and sit correctly. Look for these model bikes...Rollin Thunder, Twin Flame, and Fat Ride. Hot wheels has released several waves of these bikes, each look different enough that if you spread out your duplicate bikes it would be hard to tell you had a few of the same bike. Also the kick stands really work I can sit Zartan on the Rollin Thunder and he will stay all day long!

I really like the official 1:18 scale Harley Davidson bikes (I forget who made them) so far, I've got Buzzer one one of those, ripper on a OCC, 1:18 superbowl bike and Ripper on a old Robotech Cyclone.. The only problem with the first two bikes is I can't make them stand up unless they're turning or I use something to base them... they can't drive straight ahead without actual support. But that makes sense given the physics of a Motorbike.

I use the Hot Wheels and like them a lot. They almost seem tailor made for Zarty and the 'Noks.
