Yellow Motorcycle (LEGO 42225)

About this set

This is the LEGO Technic Yellow Motorcycle (set 42225), a 151-piece build rated 2/5 in difficulty, so it sits at the easy end of the Technic range. The box shows the LEGO and TECHNIC logos along with the 42225 code, and the model itself is mostly yellow with grey, black and blue parts mixed in. The finished bike includes shock absorbers, an exhaust pipe, a headlight and tires, with the grey and black pieces concentrated around the mechanical areas and blue accents breaking up the yellow bodywork. Build the frame first, then attach the shock absorbers and tires, and save the exhaust and headlight for last; with only 151 pieces the main snags are lining up the shock mounts and getting the exhaust at the right angle. At 2/5 it works well for someone new to Technic or for a builder who already has larger sets and wants a small motorcycle to sit on a desk. The finished model is compact, and the yellow panels are handy to pull for MOC work later.
