1:8 Motorcycle Building Set for Adults, Building Blocks for Adults, Collectible Toy for 14 15 16+ Years Old Boys, Teenage Boys Gifts on Birthday(579PCS)

This was a Christmas gift for my husband and son to build together. They finished in three days…they took their time.. Motorcycle is very nice! Loved that they enjoyed building it together! Next step, a real motorcycle. 🙂🙏🏼

One thing I have noticed about the "non-Lego" builds is there are some steps where you need to disassemble previous steps in order to install a new portion easier. This one is no different but thats not why it lost a star. That reasoning is in the negatives below. Overall I enjoyed this build and I would order from this seller again. Great pricing too which is a huge plus.Positives:-This is the best looking motorcycle kit I have built with much more detail than my other motorcycle kits. It looks great on my shelf.-This build took some time which I enjoy, I tend to speed build lego sets so I enjoy the ones that can take some time to build so it lasts longer lol-Watching the gears/chain spin is really satisfying on this model! Has 5 gears and two chains that work together to also rotate the pistons in the clear cylinder heads.Negatives:-For the graphics in the instruction booklet, there were at least two that stood out more than the rest. It showed the piece you just built being installed on the chassis but the graphics shows the chassis at an angle and you need to of course install it on a specific piece that is inside the engine bay but the angle blocks out the entire inside. It was a guessing game on at least 2 pieces since I just had no clue where it was wanting me to connect pieces.-I had one piece that was broken, I was able to find a spot to put it though that didn't interfere with anything and still worked where it needed to be.-Like I said above, the rear chain gets caught on the back sprocket. The chain rides up on the sprocket and locks up the back tire. The rear tire is held on by one stick attached to one swingarm, so the tire tends to travel and the axle tends to bend which I believe is what's causing the chain to catch and rub.

Feel like a cheaper Lego, but the quality is good and instruction book is clear.

This model looked like a very nice one when I ordered it. It has a lot of pieces and I would suggest sorting them out before you start as it takes a bit to find the pieces and put them together. It is very nice looking and I was pleasantly surprised that the plastic chains you make actually work and stay together and the pistons go up and down in the motor. My biggest complaint would be with the instructions. I think on page one there should have been a very clear parts page with very clear details what they look like. This is very lacking in the instructions as some of the pieces that are round and slide in are very hard to tell what they are. I would put it together and decide it was wrong and take it back apart. I found this very frustrating. You also have to look really close at each picture as some of the parts have separate details on how to put them together and others are just pictured already on the bike which is your clue to install it. I think they should have been outlined in red or some other color to make it easy to tell where they go. I have my bike 3/4ths together but am having issues with the big side pieces as they attach somehow but to me its not super clear in the instructions and I have been building models for quite some time. This by far has been the hardest to figure out at some points. I love the motorcycle but I am going to give it 3 out of 5 stars as the instructions and parts identification leave a lot to be desired. You also have to be careful how you pick it up as mine has fallen apart in a place or two.

Pieces are not labeled. Very hard to tell by illustrations only which parts are to be used when. To many pieces are to similar without labels.

This is a nice looking build. The build can be a little difficult despite it looking simple. The direction for the most part are easy to read but some areas it hard to tell which part they are using. Everything more or less the same color. But if you can stick to it you will get a really cool looking build. I like that it has several moving parts and a clear engin where you can see the pistons moving up and down. As a kid I always love builds that had moving pistons.

This model is somewhat similar to the Lego brand Harley Davidson I built previously. The parts fit well and the end result looks good. It does have some issues but can be overcome with a little effort.The instructions are good but you must be very vigilant to see some pieces that are called out on the parts list for that step but are already in place in the illustrations. The bagging of parts would be better if they were more organized, as some part are not in the bags in the build order. Some parts were just missing but I found ways to work around them.Overall the kit is a joy to build and looks great. The operating chains and gears are a great touch

PLEASE don't waste your time or money on this set. There are SO many parts missing, I couldn't even get past the first step.
