Motorcycles are one of the most popular
Technic themes. One thing they showcase is the ability of Technic
parts to be assembled at many different angles other than square.
Some of the motorcycle frames are marvels of convoluted assembly.
Most have steering either through an axle or a specialized fork piece,
and many are chain driven from a rear sprocket. Motorcycles were
also a popular theme for the very small intro sets, so there are a wide
range of tiny sets to choose from. All have at least some moving
parts, including rubber band suspension.
8420 is the most realistically designed, but I
think the
8857 trike is
my
favorite.
8422 was one of the first
Technic sets I owned, and is
partly responsible for getting me interested.
