3054 was released in 1998, contains 30 pieces, and features rubber band suspension. What else can you want from a motorcycle?

It was bundled for free with some Kelloggs product in the UK only. I paid about 5$ on Bricklink for it.

Although this bike is from the Technic line, the instructions says SYSTEM on it.

The instructions has two pages, and folds out from a tiny brochure.

It has the same size as the 2544 Shell promotional set.

It is one out of 3 sets which have the "Liftarm 1 x 9 bent (6-4)" in green color. The other ones being 8479 and 8446

Well, on with the build.

The rubber band is placed between the two bushes at the 4 axle, and stretched over the "pivot". When the rear axle is pushed upwards, it acts as a suspension.

Lastly, adding the windshield made of thin liftarms. The 3L pin acts as handlebars.

Finished.

Ccomparison with 1257 and 2544.

I think this is a great set for a Kellogg's bonus, but from a technical perspective it's not much. If you're a collector like me I would buy it for anything less than 5$.
