Any reviews of this kit anywhere or does any one have an idea if any of the PE spokes for other Motorbike kits would be good for this?

I'm actually working on a build review right now. The short version is it's a very nice kit, although some details have been simplified, though no worse than any other top tier kit. I haven't checked to see if any aftermarket brass spokes would work but, in all honesty, the injection molded ones are as thin as possible in the medium and I'm not intending to replace them.

for $20 it's a steal, especially with the quality of the figures.

As the M72 is "closely related" to the BMW R71, maybe some PE sets designed for BMW kits would be useable...
