Their hair was drying! Or rather the glue was. I've taken some seriously silly pictures all along since I got these figures. Even before that... With just the heads! I was cracking myself up!

*Just realized IG cut off all the photos. I'll put the link back after I finish that.

What I see from the other two is a problem that seems to persist at this "scale": the back half (from the seat back appears to plenty big, but the front half of each bike is squished a bit.

If there was more crunch around the mid section — making the rider slouch more, it would help to minimize some of the “shortness” look, and the awkward lowness of the outstretched arms. Aside from “ape-hangers”, the majority of handle bars sit roughly close to shoulder height for most riders — individual height accepted, of course. The Fatboy in your new measurement pics looks slightly better at arm position for the rider.
Thank you for pointing us to this fun and relevant resource!angryboot wrote:FYI here's a site that has a pretty good collection of bikes that you can get a rough idea on how various bikes fit riders of certain height:

Why is it so bloody hard to find out the overall length of a motorcycle!? At any rate, according to my findings, the length should be 93.8 in (238.25 cm) and the minimum height of the seat should be 26.5 in (67.3 cm). Translating this to 1:6 scale gives us 15.6 in (39.7 cm) by 4.4 in (11.22 cm). I compared this to my customized Barbie Fat Boy (below), which measures about 14 in (35.5 cm) by 4.15 in (10.5 cm). The height is pretty close, the length less so, and the motorcycle is therefore both undersized and disporoportional. But it doesn't look particularly short from the side... (the photo is a little misleading as the front is turning a bit away to its right). Am I missing something?
