I am working also on mine since 3 weeks.
I intend to do some modifications to the base kit, since i am an Detail Freak, and think there can be done some improvements everywhere.
In General a nice kit for a novice model builder. But to be honest i expected a bit more from pocher. Considering the scale (1/4) i expected they had created the parts like on the real bike (like Joints and mounting Points of main subassemblies - engine to Frame,.....) Additionally a lot of parts are molded in one Piece together instead of doing them as seperate parts. Again for a scale of 1:12 - fine; but in this scale i expected more from pocher. Also they only provide "Phillips screw typs" in the kit for all the parts instead of allen-head nuts and bolts like on the real bike. And especially on the engine some bolts are molded to the parts (looking like the real nut while the bolt next to it should be replicated with the phillips head screw :-(
But nothing that can not be fixed
I made a lot from etch parts and made a lot new parts on lathe and mill
Here is a link to my OneDrive Folder for a building Progress with the modifications so far.

And for the tool kit that is mentioned above i also like to know what that should be.
For the kit you only Need a small phillips screw Driver and a Special tool to adjust the chain Tension on the rear wheel hub. AND THAT IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE KIT!!
Best regards,
