Then the newer versions of two-wheelers were introduced (I don’t know when
but my most readily available piece came in the 7779 Catwoman Pursuit set).

Catwoman is indeed the first minifig who got the chance to ride one of the new
modular motorcycles. That city fairing has since been released in black, white,
and orange. The dirtbike first appeared in dark-bley in the Indiana Jones
motorcycle chase (from Last Crusade), and the third version, which uses this
same body style, was Mutt’s bike from the Chauchilla Cemetary (Crystal Skull).
An interesting bit that nobody ever seems to have notice, the very back of the
dirtbike fender has a minifig grip formed into it, so the rider can be posed
doing FMX-style tricks.

These newer versions are a GREAT improvement over the old style because they
are a basic frame upon which a number of pieces or fairings/chassis can be
added.
|
Yeah, but as cool as the third style is, it looks a bit odd with a minifig
riding it. See, the previous two are body styles where the rider should be
sitting higher than they would on the road hog body, but due to the placement of
the tailpipe on the one side, the rider actually sits higher on the newest body
style.
| |
For the 7306 set we get a very basic chassis in dark red (probably the first
time we’ve seen this piece in this particular color).
|
Other than the fact that the chassis (or frame) is the same standard black that
every other modular motorcycle has used, yes, this is the first time any body
has appeared in dark-red.
