Motorbikes are easy, we had tried out some prototypes.  Seems like they are quite fragile to handle as a wargaming piece in plastic; unless we enforced them with "out-of-scale" support pieces.  Being that said, it can be done!

it would be also nice to get some box where is 2 or 3 bikes and with some options of sidecars for german bikes. Maybe also different versions of MG and uniforms (DAK or regular)

A plastic Kradschutzen unit would be awesome!!
Plus bodies or at least a pair of legs in riding pose. Other parts like heads could be acquired elsewhere..
The ultimate conversion project!

Cheers
