I've got one of those models, too, on my work desktop (to remind me that real life and fun is outside the office). I bought mine off an eBay Motors bid almost 3 years ago. If you search the web for "die cast Road Star motorcycle," you may come up with vendors.

Ahhhhhh the (RD) cafe racer craze. You have to remember that at the time, Triumph and Norton were trying to survive and dying, AMF owned Harley, and the "new" model was the Honda 750 four. Most dedicated speeders still preferred the Kawi 750 triple and it was called Lightning for a reason. It was also the first time the gasoline supply got turned off by OPEC, propelling bike sales into the stratosphere. There, now I feel really old.

My 1981 Honda CM400C was like that - same signals, same dash, same frustrating lack of power... lol.
It was a great bike to tear apart and put back together to learn about bikes though! I think if that honda wasn't in such bad shape I'd be one more stuttering idiot taking their bike to the dealer. Ok, maybe not that bad, but it was nice to have a bike you can pick up and move!

The day I stop learning is the day I start dying.
