Description

A motorbike for the model builder

Hobby Sets were meant for people who preferred recreating a vehicle to staging a play scene. This model centres on a Harley-Davidson with its chunky engine block, the feature most associated with the brand. At 144 pieces it is compact but more detailed than a basic toy vehicle. There is no minifigure in the box, because the bike was designed to be admired and tinkered with rather than ridden by a character, and it makes the better impression for it.

Dark tones with red highlights

Black, white, light grey and red set the look. Black covers the tyres, frame and seat, light grey suggests the metal of engine and exhaust, and red adds colour to the tank. The 37 different parts are a high figure for such a small model, pointing to plenty of specialist elements for wheels and handlebars. That variety makes the build more interesting than one made only from standard bricks, and it rewards a careful, unhurried approach.

Built to be displayed

A motorbike made from 144 pieces fits on almost any shelf. It stands well alone and also sits happily beside other vehicles from the seventies. Vintage collectors value Hobby Sets because they show how seriously vehicles were already being recreated in brick form. You can certainly play with it, though the fine parts around the handlebars deserve a little care, since they are the first pieces to come loose or get lost under the sofa.

Parts list and replacements

The parts list on this page shows every colour and quantity, which is handy for checking a second-hand copy. Wheels, handlebars and other special elements often go missing from older sets. The “What can I build?” tool tells you how many of the required parts you already own. If you prefer to use the bricks differently, the black and grey elements make a solid basis for vehicles of your own design, such as a scooter or a bike with a sidecar.
