Well, yeah, but I was referring specifically to just the modular motorcycles.
Of the three body styles, it makes perfect sense for the dirtbike rider to sit
high on the frame, but the road hog rider should be sitting really low to the
ground. The thing is, the road hog design causes the rider to sit even higher
than on the previous two body types, solely because they ran the tailpipe right
under the footwell on one side. I’m not sure if the first body style is
intended to be a crotch rocket or a touring bike, but in either case the feet
are hidden a little by the side flares, so the effect is diminished a bit. Not
so on the road hog body, where it almost looks like the rider is preparing to
stand up on the seat.

on the subject, i think it’ll be interesting to see what other styles of
chassis/fairing the lego folks come up with--are there bullet-bike
possibilities with the new frame?.

I see two possibilities with that. Either they started with the crotch rocket
design, or anything they come up with for that body type will look so similar to
the first body that they probably wouldn’t go ahead with it. I think the three
varieties we have is all we’re going to get, unless they come out with another
frame to clip them onto (one with chopper-style front forks could be
interesting).
