“I wouldn't call it very collectible, but there aren't too many bikes that Technic has made of this variety, so it's close. If you're not precious about the MISB factor, then save yourself a bit of money and go for a used one. This is a set that'd be nice to own, and for me... More it's special because of my childhood, but it's still a set that could easily be overlooked if you had other distractions.”

“This set was great for me as I have never had a Technic bike. However for those that want this for just parts or have other bikes it could be a hard sell. The alternate model (a chopper) is a complete rebuild (which I didn't make), and it's great that Lego have been... More including these most of the time lately.”

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.
Summary
Technic Dirt Bike set 8291 was released on December 22, 2007, retailing for $25, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $91, used ones can be found for $35.
