Technic 2017 Set Discussion

[kuja2015]

And what about the pictures from the other sets?

[Rishab N]

The BMW looks pretty good. Not a fan of the large empty area above the rear wheel, maybe could have been covered with a panel or something. How exactly does that front suspension work? It looks as though the shock is mounted really far up and attached to a suspension wishbone piece?

the shock is connect to the part you said which is connected to a shaft which is connected to the handlebars and the axle if you can understand my simple expanation!

A spring is nested between two wishbone pieces. The upper pieces is fixed, the lower one can travel up and down. The front wheel section is attached to the wishbones with tow balls so it can steer.

It's been posted on Instagram!

I took a screenshot for people who couldn't see the photo from the site.

If you look carefully there's a new piece on the kickstand.

Cheers,

didn't even think of that! YAY!

[Samer]

I hope Bricklinkers are not seeing these comments or otherwise they would set the transPanel at $20/piece 

Back to topic, these are the same wheels of 42036 but in Black right?

[letsbuild]

I see u-joints in the drivetrain, tubing, wheels, and a few other pieces that interest me. I might buy this when it comes out.

there will be so many bricklinkers that some would not do that, if so jut buy them on https://wwwsecure.us.lego.com/en-us/service/replacementparts

"TRY BUILDING DIGITALLY" on the box is scary, worrisome and terrifying and bad and sad.

Pray for the paper instructions! 

I work on the computers, I do not want to use them in the fun time. I also do not want kids to spend more time "on screens" than needed. Keep it in the real life, bro.

You have my vote

The idea is Bricklinkers set prices based on the fact that "Not everyone can buy from lego.com".

I don't understand...

[Samer]

Lego.com is available for buying only in specific countries. I don't like to be moderated so I will not continue discussing this further.

This picture looks to me screeming for a large side panel. Is it only me? i know some people will say we are not missing 42036 yet.

I have made a few pictures pointing out pieces that are useful

BMW by JJ2Sam, on Flickr

It seems like they have recolored the 5L axle with stop to the red-ish brown color also it looks like there will be something in the top storage compartment because the pin with a axle block is there, and there's a U-joint that I'm guessing is the way drive is transmitted without a chain like the real thing.

I find the bike visually a bit messy/busy, too many colors and built mainly with small connectors. Then again, the real one is quite busy looking too.

Functionally it is the most interesting technic motorbike Lego has produced.

This is a list of Bricklink earlier Technic motorcycles by part count.

http://www.bricklink.com/browseList.asp?itemType=S&catString=36.682.225&q=&sortBy=P&sortAsc=D

Highest part count was in 2005 with 506 and this one has 603

This is in addition to being the 1st branded bike.
