The FC-20 is not as fast as some speeder bikes and has a relatively short range, being able to operate no more than 24 hours before requiring a recharge.

 Starship Modeler: AMT's Speeder Bike
I was also noted after fitting it into the base that the speeder could only be shown going slow - at higher speeds the flaps over the engine are extended almost parallel with ground, something the base won't allow you to do.
The body fits together OK, but there are huge gaps where the arms attach, and the feet don't fit in the bike's pedals the way the box art would lead you to believe.
The speeder is a military vehicle - and every military vehicle I ever encountered in ten years of active duty was rode hard and put away wet.

The bike is 8 1/2" long and has the same basic design as every other Star Wars speeder toy: a tubular body, air foils jutting out the front and a pair of landing gear feet in the back.

 Star Wars Power of the Jedi Figure Reviews
Hmm...I guess the Speeder Bike and Paploo are the true accessories here but since they've got their own section, I don't think I should give a rating here.
I'm not quite sure what Hasbro did when they were re-tweeking the speeder bike for this release, but the rear thrust flaps don't seem to fit as well as the older versions did.
The Speeder Bike still has the flip-up thrust flaps (that don't work as well as they used to), pivoting maneuver controls (wowee), positionable altitude controls (aka: foot pedals), and swiveling blaster cannon (hours of fun!).

 Starship Modeler: Brian Cullen's Imperial Speeder Bike Review
Since the model is in two separate parts (bike and driver), I was able to concentrate on different assemblies at the same time.
The rod was connected to the model via a hole in the bottom of the unit and an interior cap, which was positioned prior to matching the unit's halves together.
The final assembly of the bike was required prior to final assembly of the Imperial Speeder Dude since his realistic fitting rests on a number of variables: the angle of the foot pedals, the rear of the bikes saddle and his rear, and his left arm which holds onto the speeders handlebars.

 Star Wars Action Figure Reviews - Stass Allie with BARC Speeder
Her arms are very stiff and straight which works well when she's on the bike, but off the bike she just looks awkward.
Sure, Stass Allie didn't ride a BARC speeder in the movie (it was decided in post-production that she would ride an Original Trilogy-styled speeder bike), but it's accurate to the ones ridden by her betrayers.
The BARC speeder comes disassembled in three pieces: the front section, the back section, and a small bar that connects to both the front and back pieces.
