Nice. But I think it will be even better if you add 42007 (Moto Cross Bike) as a donor set. You can implement front suspension with it.

Interesting. You may use another set to fill in the details and holes.

Thanks for the Tip!

I shall had made something totally different if I had a 42007.

Thanks for reply. I will consider whether to make a double set MOC.

I like your idea to build motorbike out of quad bike. To make it perfect I recommend you to work more on design and model solidity.

Nice to get advice from an expert of C (D,E, and F...) model!

I shall continue improving the entry as new ideas drop in.

You are doing very well.. This is a difficult set to work with..

I think if you have any other of the available small sets you could swap out some of the blue 3L friction pins for black 2L ones or 2L with bush on the end.. Maybe also find a back connector for the front so you don't have 1 red and one black

I like how you have made a use for all the wheels

Many thanks for your constructive ideas! As the original set has only three black 2L pins (maybe one extra but I'm not sure), it is pretty hard to replace 3L with 2L pins. I am currently reluctant to introduce a second set because I would like to keep a minimum leftover in total.

With the 42001 parts included your model has improved greatly in appearance

I am not a big fan of motorbikes, but this one looks really good,, IMHO the best entry so far. I wonder what constructions will be shown by others :-)

So many thanks for your compliment!

Actually I would hardly consider building any motorcycle until I joined the contest with a 9392, which was the only set I had with less than 600 parts.
