Don't you think this warg very familiar? The Lion King hyenas.

That would be my honor, thank you for helping me that!

It's a little bit too early to consider these complicate problems since I still need another 9904 votes, , but I think it will be solved "automatically" by LEGO if that day came. In fact that this model might be much stronger then it looks like, since all the part are build in "legal" methods. I also made a special effort to strengthen the skeleton to resist the force when you squaching its suspention system. This is as strong as any official ModelTeam sets that I can garentee. Once I dropped it to the ground and it remained roughly in one piece.

HONDA REPSOL is one of the most famous MotoGP team, and its color scheme is also the most noticeable one. Few people have oppotunities to ride there racing bike RC212V, but everyone is able to ride HONDA’s flagship production superbike, CBR1000RR. This LEGO creation takes me 2 years to build it. It’s about the size of Technic 8420, but weight more 50% as it’s about 900 pcs. (8420 got only 506 pcs). This bike’s skeleton is made by Technic method, and I insist all the basic functions of Technic should be remained. Rear wheel is geared to its engine and pistons. The fork is able to turn. Both front and rear suspension works fine. There’s no room for me to add more functions in it, like clutch, transmission system, but all it got so far are complex enough for me. At the outside, I covered the skeleton with model-team technique, and that’s the hardest part of this creation. I’m glad that I succeeded, even at the hardest part, the head light. There’s still a difficult job need to be done after all the LEGO creation is completed, the stickers. The process making a set of custom stickers for REPSOL is complicate and annoying. I spent months dealing with things I never touch before, such as picture and logo retouching, aligning, printing stickers, cutting stickers. I even paint the wheel rims into LEGO orange since there’s no orange LEGO rim. All these stuffs make me almost forgot I’m creating a LEGO work during these months. Happily, I finally got what I want. Let’s take a look of its outfit. The clutch staff and pedal can really move. CBR1000rr during 2004 to 2007 has single tail pipe under the back seat, and later versions have bottom right short exhaust pipe. I personally prefer later version. There’s a small trunk under the back seat, like real CBR1000rr do. The side stand. Back seat footrest can actually flipped and stretch. It is how suspension system works. Now let’s take a look of skeleton. The head is really complicated that no parts are combined in 90 degrees as normal. The rear suspension system of CBR1000RR is exclusive unit pro-link technique. Here are two pictures showing how it works. And this is how my LEGO bike works. Sadly there is no room to put entire exhaust pipe in this bike, so I can only tuck its head section in. I made a stand for it, which makes it more “racing” and also very convenient when I am “repairing” it (the side stand is not very stable). I also made a U-bolt for it, in case anyone ride it away. … such like this. LOL (it’s another color scheme, HRC version, I might public it later if I got time.) (This mighty IRON MAN is not my creation) This is where I work. I should find some times to paint my wall after finishing this. This bike takes me 2 years to build it, hope my next program won’t take me that long. Do you like it? Please drop me comments! This is the CUUSOO page of this work , please give me a support if you like this! And whoever likes this bike, thank you!

This is my first MOC. I just wanted to slightly modify 8291 at first, but end up I found that it was not the case. I started this project in 2008, and finally finished in 2010. It's a long road building this works. I finished the main structure in 3 months, and used 2 years to fix defects and imperfections. The biggest defect of 8291(and all official technic sets) in my opinion is the uncovered surface. The most ideal appearance of a masterpiece is like Model Team style or creator, but I also don't want any technic function was gived up. Therefore here comes this mixed style MOC: technic structure with smooth covered surface. My favorite two colors in Lego is black and white, therefore this bike is made mainly in this two colors, and embellished with a little yellow, trans red, trans orange, pearl gold, and chromesilver(so expensive ). The head of the bike. There is a new building skill I used in it's front suspension. All technic motorcyles front mudguard are fixed on the head because of this part. This part can't fix mudgaurd on front wheel side, but that's not what I want, therfore I still put it on the wheel side, and stretch an slide rail into the head to fix it. Here is how it works without cover. Some other views of head. The tail of the bike. I don't want to use any sticker so the number plate is blank. The exhaust pipes and hind suspention system are so complicated that killed half of my brain cells. This is how total suspention system works. The torso of the bike. Hind wheel is really linked to the engine, therefore when bike goes forward, pistons can actually works. I use to let shifting pedal can actually bounce back. Middle stand. It was hard to design because that it got to remain it's position when it's closed up. Side stand. Rather easy to design. From left to right: side stand, middle stand, dead pedal, shifting pedal. All these four structures and power transmission system crowded on the tiny bottom of the bike, kills the other half of my brain cells. Folding hind dead pedal for back seat passenger. Filling hole. Motorcycle lock which was unexpectedly popular with my Taiwan friends. OK,that's all, thank you for your patience. If there's any suggestion, please let me know. Thank you! My next work is coming "definitely not" soon!
