Posted July 29, 20186 yr Hello Everyone, I am a new member, but I have been a technic builder for may years. Lego I think is a wonderful world and it amazes me how adaptable it can be. I do hope you like this as this is my first posting on any forum. It's still a WIP, there has been a lot of fine tuning but most of the features of the real machine are incorporated. This model has working suspension, 2 cylinder overhead cam engine with working valves, 2 speed sequential gearbox, working clutch & headlights. There are a couple of modified parts, the cam that operates the gearbox and the sump guard underneath the engine. Otherwise it is all 100% lego. The cam I hope to replace with the new orange wave selector at somepoint. Due to the scale the lego wheels and tyres are slightly too small. The Honda badge is printed onto normal inkjet paper and stuck onto the lego raised round bricks with PVA. The small lego motor powers the motocycle quite nicley, I hope to do a video soon when time allows. In order to ensure smooth running all of the moving parts, these have been lubricated using an oil pen "Hob-E-Lube" (HL654) used in model railways. This does not affect the lego gears in anyway. The engine and lights are on in ths shot.
July 29, 20186 yr Very impressive. I think it is the first time I have seen a Lego Technic motor cycle with integrated PF motor. The integration is visually very smooth. I’m looking forward to the video to see the functions you describe. A great way to introduce yourself to Eurobricks!
July 30, 20186 yr very nice. Might you consider the front wheel of the 8420 as being closer to the 21/18" set?
July 30, 20186 yr Sorry for criticizing, but the proportions look way off. See the pic below, your model - when viewed from a side - appears to be considerably too tall, too short, and with significantly too small wheels. I would recommend starting by finding a blueprint of the real bike, and then using this: http://scaler.sariel.pl/
July 30, 20186 yr Author No problem, criticism is good. As I said earlier it is a WIP. The challenge here is to build functionality into a small area. Its a pity that Lego don't produce larger wheels/tyres that would help.
July 30, 20186 yr An impressive way to introduce yourself. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
October 11, 20186 yr I would like to build this very beautiful moc my brother's birthday, available construction guide and parts list?
October 11, 20186 yr Generally nice MOC but for me on the first look it seems to be more an Ducati Multistrada with that bulky frontend.
