Mark de Kock: "my shock absorber is yellow - just like on the box."
Ronald Vallenduuk: "Thumbs up for looks, but the combination of chain and universal joint is odd for a bike and steering movement is very limited. Mine had a yellow shock and 2x2 plates on the jet by the way."
Thomas Fulk, Jr.: "Builds a sport bike or a custom chopper"
Ash Nickle: "Nice design (and the alternative model too) but severe understeer and the gas tank looks hurried. All the shocks actually released in this set are dark gray. What happened to yellow?"
Andy Blake: "it's lovely looking, with some nice parts, but suffers from being a bit floppy - it just isn't rigid enough. the variable length shock absorber in mine was dark grey, not yellow."
Remco Slotboom: "absolutely amazing to build! Looks fantastic too!"
Stéphane Simard: "I still prefer the 8422... the front wheel rubs the mudguard too often."
Tracy Dale: "STG - box in"
Olof Dahlberg: "Mine has yellow shock absorber and the jet engine is with 2x2 plate. S@H Europe october 2005"
Vaughan James: "Couldn't resist it any longer! Looks very similar to the Ducati 999. The shocky in mine was yellow. Score!"
Paul De La Haye: "nice build, limited features"
Jack Lillie: "Please, please LEGO, put out a really large piece count Technic motorcyle. This would've been so awesome as a near 1,000 part set."
