“The Motorbike from the Lego Technic series is a well-made, little model. From a few individual parts a pleasant-looking motorcycle is built, which has two functions, despite the low number of parts, so at least a little fun is provided. All in all, the Motorbike gets five... More stars in the overall rating.”

“While similar in size to 8210, this little motorcycle adds more stylized highlights including more non-square angles and curved exhaust. It also makes use of many of the newer 1/2 thickness Technic parts.”

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.
