The model depicts a motorcycle with a rear suspension on a trailing arm, a front fairing, a spoked front wheel, and a non-spoked rear wheel.

Insights

Released in 1999 and retired after a regional promotional run tied to World Children’s Day in Germany, Motorbike (set 1259) is a small Technic promotional piece with limited distribution that has attracted modest collector interest, and its lack of unique molds and ready substitutes has kept secondary-market activity thin.

The set features a motorcycle with a rear suspension on a trailing arm, a fairing, a spoked front wheel, and a non-spoked rear wheel.
It was part of a promotional release for World Children's Day in Germany.
There are three versions of this model with the same parts and build but different set numbers and packaging.

Technic-Dialog

“The motorcycle from the Lego Technic series is striking. Made of fewer than 30 individual parts, the model has a rear suspension. Truly amazing. All in all, it gets five stars in the overall rating.”

Full review at technic-dialog.de

Technicopedia

“The rear axle of this model is suspended on a trailing arm and supported by a rubber band looped over the frame. In a surprising twist of complexity, the front wheel is spoked while the rear wheel is not.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
