the kickstand changes direction by detaching and reattaching rather than being poseable.

This kit is the Trychaser 2000, released as part of the Figure-rise Standard series. It's Kamen Rider Kuuga's bike, and it's quite a rare motorcycle model kit from Bandai. While it's not poseable, it features a realistic spring suspension, brake lines done with lead wire, and plated parts — all putting it pretty close to what you'd expect from a proper motorcycle model kit.

The building experience feels quite different from traditional scale model makers like Tamiya — it goes together easily with Bandai's 100% snap-fit system. And yet, the cowl sections have impressively precise color separation, and the premium Extra Finish plated parts really give it a clean, high-quality feel overall. The engine and some finer details do feel a bit less refined or softer compared to traditional scale models, but that seems like a fair trade-off for the easy snap-fit assembly. And given that it's a motorcycle, there aren't really any moving parts or gimmicks to speak of — just a rotating front wheel and a kickstand — but honestly, just building it and putting it on display feels pretty satisfying on its own.

There's also a dedicated set of hands included for mounting the separately sold Figure-rise Standard Kamen Rider Kuuga Mighty Form, though the hand-back parts aren't included, so you'll need to borrow those from Kuuga. In their place, you get some extra accessories based on the handlebars that can be used for posing Kamen Rider Kuuga.

All in all, this is a unique, fresh, and high-quality motorcycle model kit that delivers a clean, no-frills build experience. Even if you're not into Kamen Rider, if you're a fan of motorcycles, this looks like a pretty fun kit to put together. :-)
