Just something I found on-line while looking for something else. Never heard of them before, but have some great figures of all flavors:

I think that's the same as the Preiser set, just out of the package.

The Preiser set has a BMW flat-twin bike along the lines of an R90. Not a Harley-type V-twin. Some North American agencies did use BMWs, but it depends on what you are looking for. I've always been well satisfied with Preiser quality.

Maybe this could be made to work: http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/D228/page/1
