5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Technic sets ever., March 13, 2008

What a bargain this set is! A mere $25 and it is very fun to build and play with. It is very dense with detail and mechanical features like an articulated 2 cylinder engine with pistons, crankshaft, and even a perfunctory "gearbox" although the gears cannot be changed. The chain drive is a beautiful and conspicuous detail, as are the front and rear suspensions but I think the feature that most delighted me is the exhaust. It runs from the engine through to the tailpipe in a very cleverly designed manner. As is often the case with lego sets, there are instructions included for a secondary model, in this instance a chopper. I haven't had a chance to build that yet though as the dirt bike is so cool. Also significant is the use of the Technic "panels" which with their ambiguous abstract shapes often look tacked on as afterthoughts in other sets. Their use here fits perfectly and defines the volume of the fuel tank which helps obviate the usual skeletal look of Technic. I guess a dirt bike is already skeletal! The educational value of the set is high with the authentic engine construction and clever details such as a working kickstand and all the other details mentioned above.

My nephew loves dirt bikes, so how cool is the fact that I found his favorite thing in an educational toy!
He is sure to love it for his birthday.
Amazon has it all and so convenient!

Our 11 year old had so much fun putting this together. It was a good teaching tool to help him with organization and mechanical skills. Also, a great family bonding experience. The product is well made and all the parts fit together perfectly.
