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 :laugh:

 

- 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

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!

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?

This is killer!

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

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 :)

Wow, thanks for the kind remarks everyone! :thumbup: 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 :laugh: 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.
