I adore this unusual LP toy, the Space Motorcycle.
I saw this one on the Bay a while back and kept the pics as its a corker.
Model number 106, its just a beautifully proportioned space sled and one I've never seen in the flesh.
The box is a smasher too and the sleek rear end.
What do you think? Have you got one?
The back end - seat, wheel fairing, footwell, and handlebars, look as though they are from a normal motor scooter, such as a Vespa or Lambretta, with a racing style fairing over the front, and a spaceman figure for a rider. I wonder if there were also racing versions with a normal rider ? Really nice.
ReplyDeleteGood question Paul. I've not seen a normal version but you may be right. The space bike concept I suppose may have come from Fireball XL5.
ReplyDeleteWell now I have officially seen everything!
