Last year, LEGO created a Technic set of the BMW M1000RR and Vy and I had a wonderful time putting it together. Impressively, it featured a functional 3-speed transmission (with neutral). I actually was a bit bummed out that you couldn’t see the internal workings of the transmission (as well as the engine, which had a crankshaft/pistons and spun at different speeds depending on what gear you were in) when the whole bike was put together. Now, LEGO’s created a model for the Yamaha nuts out there, and it offers a similar level of detail in terms of the engine with moving internals, 3-speed transmission, chain final drive, and functioning front/rear suspension. They’ll be available in two weeks – I’m buying one, but here’s my heads up to you that it’s coming out!
Check it out here, where LEGO will request $239.99 (plus tax) of your hard-earned dollars. Or if you’re more of a BMW fan, you can buy the M1000RR model here instead.
