So lifelike, yet so small
Has anybody built one of these Tamiya ZX-12R's?

This has been on the boards several times. I think a few people here have built them. I've yet to get mine.
Here it it in english

My problem is that I need to find a scale version of the Akro and pilot tires

I gotz one, also got the bimota tesi 1d they made. detail is insane. Course if your serious you'll improve on it and take a pinvise to drill out all the holes in the brake disks, and upgrade the brake line from rubber hose to braided lines using guitar strings. making a custom exhaust be easy just use extra sprue, plastruct materials, and metallizer paints.

Humbrol? Tamiya?
I have usually had good luck with Tamiya. This kit is pretty good, then?

Great detail and the wheels turn as well as the steering. That's important up here in the northern states. I can't ride but I can steer my model around and make engine sounds!!
