GP-1 Superbike

[therealjustin]

What started as a basic color change of 42036 to red, quickly turned into me building my ultimate superbike. Something close to the 1299 Superleggera or Desmosedici RR. Just clean lines and simple functions, although I'd like to add a gearbox but space is tight 

 

- Single-sided swingarm

- Drive chain moved to the inside

- Front/rear fenders added

- Dual-shock rear suspension

- "Carbon" rims and brake discs w/ calipers

- Radiator added

That. Looks. Awesome!

As a big bike fan, I can really just say wow! Everything looks so good.

If I would have to nitpick, I would say that perhaps tail sections should be a bit longer. Superleggera has short tail section, ok, but I somehow prefer the Ducati style.

Second, I would try to fill in the empty space where the gearbox should be, visible from the side view.

Nevertheless, great!

Man that looks sweet, it is just great! If you can put in a gear box I say HOF.

This is great. Well done.

That is an amazing bike! Ive done my own recolour/small mod, but this is on a whole new level! Love the front wheel guard/brakes

 

Do you have any pics of what the inside looks like, engine wise etc?

[shadow_elenter]

The best looking bike I've seen to date! Very well done!

This is killer!

The radiator looks very neat and appealing (in other photos).

Looks good!

Although I'm not the biggest bike fan around I happened to build quite a few recently so I have to say yours has a fair amount of work in it and the result is really stunning! Really like the photos as well, especially the one involving lightpainting :)

[Nikolay]

Great design! He is beautiful

[rm8]

So SXY bike!

[Leonardo da Bricki]

Beautiful bike! That last photo is just amazing!

[zux]

I'm usually not into bikes, but this one looks gorgeous! 

[Lakop]

Love this bike. So clean and does not need stickers. Good use of panels and great photo's.

We're getting instructions, right? This is amazing!

[Nebulaire]

Amazing, great job !

[power1369]

Fantastic work. I can only hope instructions are produced for this.

Best bike I have seen.

If I wanted to anger you, I couldn't find a single flaw to taunt you with! This is absolutely wonderful  Are there any CLASSIC bricks in the build?

[therealjustin]

Wow, thanks for the kind remarks everyone!  I am working on a .LXF file at the moment so I'll be sure to post a link here when I'm done. I definitely agree about the empty space behind the engine. Unfortunately, even the simplest/smallest 2-speed gearbox seems too large to fit inside but if anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful for the advice! Otherwise I will probably try to fit some flex tubing in there for some extra exhaust detailing.

There are a few "classic" LEGO in there somewhere  Two 1x3 plates and two 1x6 plates on the radiator, and a 1x4 plate on the swingarm.

How big is the space? I can't see it perfectly.

Very nice, clean model. But that photography , that is just amazing. Fantastic
