therealjustin Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 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 Quote
Milan Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 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! Quote
Lego2016Lego Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Man that looks sweet, it is just great! If you can put in a gear box I say HOF. Edited June 15, 2017 by Lego2016Lego Quote
Vectormatic Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 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? Quote
DugaldIC Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 The best looking bike I've seen to date! Very well done! Quote

kbalage Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 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 :) Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Beautiful bike! That last photo is just amazing! Quote
zux Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 I'm usually not into bikes, but this one looks gorgeous! Quote
Lakop Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Love this bike. So clean and does not need stickers. Good use of panels and great photo's. H Quote
BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 We're getting instructions, right? This is amazing! Quote
power1369 Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Fantastic work. I can only hope instructions are produced for this. Best bike I have seen. Quote
Eddie_Young Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 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? Quote
therealjustin Posted June 17, 2017 Author Posted June 17, 2017 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. Quote

I can't see it perfectly. Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Very nice, clean model. But that photography , that is just amazing. Fantastic Quote
