[MOC] BMW R nineT/GS 1200 Hybrid

[Jonsson]

Long time no see, hope you are all well!

BMW R Nine T/1200 GS Hybrid Build.

The base(frame) for the build were to be the air/oil-cooled R nineT but with Telelever suspension and increased ground clearance.
Combine this with a scrambler look but with street tires for its on unique appearance.
Open air-filters and minimal exhaust for maximum annoyance - I mean characteristic sound...=)

I think it came out pretty descent in the end. I think I'd like one in full scale. 

This one, took some time, quite frankly. I began the build before my daughter was born - she recently turned 4. =)
The idea for the model formed in the fall of 2018, the main form came to life quite fast but then came to a halt.
The main reason for that was, the lack of parts in correct colors to complete the build in a way that would satisfy me.

So it sat on a shelf until last week, when I suddenly got the urge to complete it. Big thanks to Jonathan Elliot (je_brickworks) for giving me inspiration back! Be sure to check out his awesome BMW R80 Cafe Racer in gorgeous dk red!

I just love it !

[Thirdwigg]

Fantastic. I love the front suspension, and the routing of the exhaust. Great job.

Definitely the coolest scale Lego motorbike I've ever seen. I can barely grasp how the front suspension works and the integration of the rear driveshaft is sheer genius.

Frontpaged.

Amazing design!

[Jurss]

Beatiful!

So much detail and clever usage of parts. Are those bionicle parts you use on the front of the handlebars?

Really happy you like it! The function of the suspension is not that complicated to be honest, but it took some time to figure out the geometry to make the build "Legal" and not stress the parts. :)

Thank you for the kind comment. The part used for the handlebars (I you mean the red ones) is in fact an old technic bushing:

Didn't knew this kind of bushes. what I meant is https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=21560 (black armor round) and that part underneath.

Wow this is a very elegant build.

I love how clean it is. Almost like some parts are molded and not built.  

Great job. I want one lol. 

[Aleh]

Nice)

Only wonder where the rear brake rotor (disk) has gone?))

Attention to detail is very, very high!

There is a disc (though small) behind/inside the bevel gear. :)

Thank you for your kind words!

Details is really what I like most when tinkering with a build. :)

That you took your time to comment even though these kind of builds doesn't normally tick your box, that means a bit extra to me. :)
