Man I wish somebody did Joe. I'd love for you to cast a batch of those. They are such cool versions of bikes from back in the day. I'll keep an eye open for them Joe. You know I'll send them if I find them.

Are they the same as the two pack with the Harley and the Honda?

There were originally four Revell parts packs bikes: a Harley panhead chop, a pre unit 650 Triumph in '60's mild custom guise, a stock BSA A10 and a stock Honda CB72. They all came fully chromed but I've seen the Triumph and BSA in unchromed versions as well.
They were later paired up (in chrome versions) for a tie in with the film Grease 2 and you got the Harley and Honda in one pack and the Triumph and BSA in the other.
They were also sold in the UK in double packs, each pack having one chrome and one un-chromed version of the same bike.
They were supposed to have been re-issued a few years back but the rumour I heard was that the engine parts packs weren't big sellers and so Revell ditched the idea.
And, just in case you'd missed it, R&M have just repopped the Triumph pre unit 650 that came with early AMT annual kits. Good news is that you get all the versions (stock, race and custom) on one sprue rather than having to buy a load of kits to get the full options (AMT just put some of the parts in the car kits as teasers).

They were certainly listed as proposed re-issues a while back, but I'm not aware of anything that would now suggest Revell have any plans to start turning them out any time soon.
Unless one of industry insiders knows something different?

That's awesome Joe. Glad to hear that somebody stepped up on this one. I was hoping. I'd like to build a couple of those myself to go along with a couple projects.
Thanks to the guy that hooked Joe up.
