At 1:48 a motorcycle is a few centimetres long, which tells you what these sets are for: they bring an aircraft diorama to life rather than standing on their own. Kits here generally include a rider figure, sized to match aircraft of the same scale, and a pilot arriving at his machine gives a display case the narrative a lone aeroplane cannot. Which figures appear follows what manufacturers produce.
These sets work as groundwork, so decide where the bike sits before you build it; a motorcycle leaning against a bowser reads very differently from one parked in the open. The obvious partners are 1:48 aircraft kits, where the figures match in height and the bike fills an awkward corner of a base. Slightly larger rider-and-machine sets are in 1:32 and 1:35 motorcycle kits, and standalone bikes in every size are listed under motorcycle model kits.
