“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.”
