Product Information

Channel Islands, including Jersey and Guernsey (Sark, Alderney and Herm are an additional 1 days delivery from Guernsey) 48 Hour Dispatch Service Here’s a closer look at the iconic printed Harley Davidson logo, which is placed on the fuel tank – it’s one of the other parts of the bike that the designers managed to replicate so particularly well. Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed this review! As you can tell by all the outdoor photos, I had a blast photographing the set, and who could blame me when I have such a photogenic LEGO set to work with. If you own the LEGO Harley-Davidson and have yours built, I’d love to know what you like most about the set in the comments.

I also really like the elegance and restraint shown when it comes to the details – it’s a “less is more” approach, without over-greebling, allowing the core parts to truly shine. Turns out the answer is yes when LEGO are capable of putting out such an amazing Creator Expert model, at quite an affordable price. The wheels are custom-designed for the model, and the super-sized aesthetic looks particularly realistic – the threads on the tyres are great to look at. Oh and another fun thing about the LEGO Harley-Davidson? The Star Wars constraction figures are just the perfect size to pose with them.Also, unlike Creator Expert cars, you get to truly appreciate the “innards” of the Harley Davidson as it’s mostly exposed to the world. Building the set was a brisk, but extremely enjoyable experience. The set isn’t the largest at 1023 pieces.

Despite not being a Harley-Davidson or even a motorbike fan, I could still appreciate this set for what it is – an exhilarating all-round LEGO experience. If you’re looking for an accessible Creator Expert set that’s a lot of fun to build, and looks great on display, look no further than the Harley-Davidson. I’m not particularly knowledgeable about Harleys, but one of the smalls bits of trivia I know is that they use drive belts instead of chains. This model here uses LEGO chains for the engine to function, but I feel like this fact might bother hardcore Harley fans. I was engaged throughout the build, and it kept me guessing all the way, as to how the Harley would take shape, and it’s the most fun I’ve had building a LEGO set in awhile.I don’t know what the 41 and MFG stand for, so if anyone can enlighten me in the comments, that’d be great!

Could it be improved? Of course. As good as the design is, it’s missing all the chrome goodness that well-maintained Harleys are known for. That would be prohibitively expensive, but it’s nice to dream about an alternate model with all-chrome parts. After years of building Creator Expert cars, you kind of know what to expect, but what I enjoyed much about the Harley is how unexpected and surprising the build was.

Our difference

I liked the LEGO Harley-Davidson so much more than I thought I would, mostly because I am an ardent collector of Creator Expert cars and I was apprehensive about whether a motorcycle could do it for me.
