Kierna Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Have got this much designed after a few days.... Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Nice engine,What about making it out of studded lego for the main body.That way you might be able to capture the curves of the body work better. Quote
tskyyc Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Looks great but I would refer to is as a 990cc V4 superbike... The design is very reminiscient of the Ducati Desmosedici. Particularly in the way you've mounted the headstock on a trellis subframe bolted to the cylinder heads and the way the swingarm pivots in the engine case. All it needs is a simple trellis subframe for the seat and a bit of bodywork and it will be perfect! Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Nice work so far. How about a brickbuilt model? Can't wait to see more! Quote
gotoAndLego Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Looks good. You should make the calipers gold or yellow. What about yellow forks? Quote

Haha I didn't really think of the Desmosidici as I made it, but now I compare them I might as well have set out to make one The influence the subconcious has on the imagination is powerfull Nice engine,What about making it out of studded lego for the main body.That way you might be able to capture the curves of the body work better. I will be using many system parts, like the front mudguard, and I will use technic panels too. I don't want studs showing though. Looks good. You should make the calipers gold or yellow. What about yellow forks? Thanks Sadly the parts I use for forks and calipers don't come in gold. Quote
Kierna Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Update: Cantelever rear suspension mounted under engine Subframe and seat Rearsets (footpegs), gearshift and rear brake pedals. Had to move clutch forward. Exhausts, 4 into 4, side and undertail outlets Side stand Octan colours Quote
Jim Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 This is one awesome looking bike. I really like how you made the frame look like an actual frame. And I love the details on the engine, brake, etc. Will be keeping an eye on this one (a rear brake would indeed be the icing on the cake) Quote
Jonsson Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Really like the look of this bike, cant wait to see it in bricks! I'm specially interested in the rear suspension since I'm working on a similiar sloution for my next bike.. Edited January 8, 2013 by Jonsson Quote
Kierna Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 UPDATE: Fuel tank Tail unit Rear calliper moved up, so you can see it Quote
kurtSoares Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Wow! It´s looking pretty good! Can´t wait to see it finished, and hopefully with real bricks! Quote
Kierna Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Wow! It´s looking pretty good! Can´t wait to see it finished, and hopefully with real bricks! Thanks! I'm working on the fairing, windshield etc now. I do plan on building it this year, I have many LDD bikes to build for real. This one has priority, and will probably be built first. Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Any chance of sharing the LDD file so any of us can built it too? Quote
Kierna Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Sure, once I have built it for myself Hell, I'll write a book one day, "how to build Lego motorcycles". There's plenty more where this one came from. Edited January 20, 2013 by Kierna Quote
Mike_K Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Hell, I'll write a book one day, "how to build Lego motorcycles". Can you do this till X-Mas 2013 and show an example of a 04 F-650 GS in it, please!!!??? Can I find anywhere some pics of the bike in your avatar? Regards Mike Edited January 20, 2013 by Mike_K Quote

Here are some pics of the bike in my avatar: and this is how it looks now, crapppy photo's though. Quote
Mike_K Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 You know, I'd never considered building an adventure bike. I will now! I´m curious about it! Here are some pics of the bike in my avatar: Very cool!!! Reminds me a little bit at the Bikes of Doc´s Chop: http://www.bikeexif.com/yamaha-xv750 Regards Mike Quote
Kierna Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Very cool!!! Reminds me a little bit at the Bikes of Doc´s Chop: http://www.bikeexif.com/yamaha-xv750 Regards Mike Thanks! I love that virago chop. "Frameless" bike rule. I think it looks a lot like the Confederate hellcat too. Quote
Kierna Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) UPDATE: 90% finished. Over 700 Parts! I've never done a full fairing before, I prefer naked bikes. I deliberately left the engine uncovered. I am satisfied with the way this came out. Allmost retro looking with the round headlight, but it looks thoroughly modern from behind - which is what most motorists would see of such a machine in the real world.
