LEGO Releases a BMW M1000RR Superbike Technic Set

By 20 Comments

If the $37,500 BMW M1000RR superbike is too much carbon for your wallet, may we suggest something a little more affordable for the elf on your shelf. Behold, the BMW M1000RR LEGO Technic set.

The 1,920-piece set makes a superbike that is 1:5 scale to the original two-wheeled weapon – 10 in. (27 cm) high, 17 in. (45 cm) long, and 6 in. (17 cm) wide.

The set includes a gold chain, a functional three-speed gearbox, working forks and rear shock, and a dashboard with three different display options (presumably via different bricks choices). It even comes with a cute rear stand.

Check Out This Life-Sized Lego Build of a Ducati Panigale V4 R

By 5 Comments

It was just two months ago that we were talking about one of the latest build kits from Lego, as it was a Technic set for the Ducati Panigale V4 R (kit #42107).

As such, our love for the little Danish bricks should be well known, especially when it intersects our love for motorcycles.

Today, we again see nice overlap of those two worlds on the Venn diagram, as Lego artist Riccardo Zangelmi has created this 1:1 replica of the Ducati Panigale V4 R, in order to celebrate the launch of Ducati’s much smaller Lego kit offering.

Now You Can Build Your Own Panigale V4 R Superbike, In Legos

Ducati Panigale V4 R superbike in Lego bricks

There are two things I want to say off the bat. First, we will always post motorcycle-related stories about Legos – partially because Lego bricks hold a special place in this author’s formative years, but also because we want to support Denmark’s #1 export to the rest of the world.

Second, the Ducati Panigale V4 R is absolutely worth every dollar of its $40,000 price tag. Every. Dollar. The bike is amazing. If you want the best superbike on the market, there it is in all of its 230hp glory (of course you’re going to put the “optional” exhaust on it, are you kidding me??!).

That being said, if you want a slightly cheaper alternative to Ducati’s superbike opus, and have a little fun during these “stay at home” days, then we have a good option for you. Say hello to the Ducati Panigale V4 R superbike build kit from Lego.

In the Future, You Will Fly on Your Motorcycle – But Today, You Can Only Build It Out of LEGOs

By 17 Comments

You may remember the LEGO Technic set of the BMW R1200GS Adventure motorcycle that we featured not too long ago. Now the German automotive brand and Danish toymaker have collaborated to bring an “alternative model” to the 603-piece building block toy set.

Making the R1200GS Adventure model toy now a 2-in-1 kit, the collaboration between BMW and Lego has produced a futuristic flying motorcycle called the Hover Ride Design Concept.

Interestingly enough, the BMW Junior Company – a BMW Group training unit – will build a full-size replica of what this flying R1200GS could look like (complete with its boxer engine, which of course makes perfect sense).

The future of motorcycles may see our sport evolving into something similar to what is rendered here. But for now, the closest we’ll get to the future is this LEGO set.

You Want This BMW R1200GS Adventure Made of Legos

By 6 Comments

Here we have a BMW R1200GS Adventure that finally everyone can afford. Teaming up with the great minds at Lego, BMW Motorrad has helped to create a Lego Technic model of the BMW R1200GS Adventure.

The set comes with 603 pieces, measures 18cm by 33cm by 10cm, and faithfully reproduces the venerable adventure-tourer, right down to its adjustable windscreen, Telelver front wheel suspension, rear wheel shaft drive, and moving boxer-twin engine.

Just in time for the holiday season, we imagine more adults than kids will be looking for this set of Legos.
