Keep an eye on E-bay. There are a lot of models there.

I did a google search for "die cast model motorcycles." I found several BMW models, but no R100 RT. Out of production models do show up occassionally on Ebay and other auction sites, so keep looking.

In Europe, motorcycle models are much more prevelent. Check for a French or German Police motorcycle kit, or die-cast model. They may well be BMW's. I've got about 50 models, about half of which came from Europe.

Thanks for the idea. I'll look in that direction.

There are a host of models available from the BMW dealerships. You could try that. If my instincts are correct, more car dealerships have a larger variety than MC shops. I think you can find a list on the BMW website as well, in "lifestyles accessories" or something like that.
Can't say that they have your particular model, but you might find something close. And a "touch up stick" would be plenty of paint to make a die-cast your own.

You can find some plastic models (unassembled kits) on ebay of BMW's. I have one of the French police BMW that is an R100. The kit is from "Heller". I also have an "Matchbox" (I think) kit of an R100RT. "Protar" made several BMW kits including a racing side-car version. Look under "hobbies/models/plastic/motorcycles".

Good luck.
