With an endorsement and technical specifications ("2 cylinders, 1207cc, 165km/h"), the LEGO and Harley-Davidson team proved to be a great success. Boys in 1976 wanted to play with motorcycles and with police toys, and this set gave them both in one model. But kids weren’t the only ones who were happy: the LEGO Company's own builders were pleased to discover that LEGO bricks had just the right shape for making scale models of Harley-Davidson's bikes!
The Expert Line (also known as Hobby Sets)
This was a line of seven vehicle models based on real motorcycles, trains, and cars. Here’s what LEGO said about this line back in 1976:
"LEGO Hobby Sets are for experienced builders. Hobby Sets are for those who are very good at building with LEGO bricks. They are not for beginners! These models look super displayed in your room and will be admired by your friends."
