hello

[@JustUploads]

Those new gearbox pieces are about a 1:1 replica of a real motorcycle constant mesh sequential gearbox parts. The blue parts called shift drums, they drive the orange shift forks which are then connected to dog gears to interconnect with the slotted gears. Exactly like real ones.

[@Verhagenvictor]

I love the new gearbox bits, those alone are tempting enough to consider the set, even though i dont really like naked bikes, and i think these 1:5 scale bikes look a tad odd so far. The AR app really cracked me up with the "crossplane crankshaft" note, since all lego ever do is single plane, and incorrect ones at that. Im extremely excited to see what next years hypercar can do with these new gearbox bits.

[@merijnvanschaik4989]

I agree. Quite expensive, though.

[@tanguydelooz2881]

This Yamaha bike is the most magnificent set Lego has ever produced !! imho It's really beautiful, huge, practical, cool and all.

[@johnnytifosi]

15.6 cents per piece is just insane for a set without any alternative builds, motors or electronics. It even costs the same with the BMW motorbike with 500 more pieces, itself hardly a bargain too. Lego has really gone off the deep end with their greed. And the absurd color vomit makes it look more like a Duplo set than a 18+ set. Hard pass from me, and it's a pity because that gearbox looks interesting even though it's azure, green, orange and yellow.

[@WendysAnime]

Yeah the price of Lego drove me away ages ago I used to love them, now I build model cars and rebuild engines for fun

[@eonbree8593]

ill end up just bricklinking the new peices

[@gatekeeper84]

Half the pieces are pins with technic

[@PilotPhteven]

Not sure it's a "hard pass" for me.. might get it. But I will probably wait for a sale or something.. 240 bucks is very pricey for what it is and will be; an immobile dust collecting monolith. Especially compared to the BMW, that can be found for 180 bucks or less these days, with 500 more parts. This set should not have been more than 199.99 new. The new gearbox elements aren't enough to justify anything more than that. Same for the wheels/suspension, as clearly they aren't "one time" parts and will be used in many future set... Also the AR shouldn't increase the price, as it is just a gimmick.. AND it doesn't even come with a spec sheet like the BMW.. or a paddock stand..

[@mrfarkof6863]

​​@@PilotPhtevenit doesnt come with a spec sheet because of the AR and doesnt have a paddock stand because it got a kick stand 🤦

[@Goliaf-dm4mq]

Finally.Set that it has the real building steps as in the real motorcycle.

[@Nam3y123]

The new gearbox parts make me wish I was a MOC creator, I would love trying to squeeze everything possible out of the new pieces. Unfortunately, though, I tend to be someone who just sticks to the sets as they are supposed to be, and I am satiated on Technic motorcycles at the moment. Still, I can't wait to see how these pieces are used in future sets and others' MOCs!

[@harrylee6101]

You've gotta be kidding me 1400 pieces for $240 c'mon the Ford was 1400 pieces and it wad $120. Edit : Dang this is the most likes i have ever had

[@ernestuy7128]

Depends entirely on what the pieces are. Are those 1400 pieces mostly beams and pins or plates and other larger or more complex pieces? Different geometries need different manufacturing processes, including different molds and and sometimes very complex molds. Supply/demand for each part also greatly affect the price. The set design/licensing process may also have been more complicated, leading to a more expensive set. Using piece count alone to compare prices is a terrible metric.

[@omarreyes2219]

@@ernestuy7128it annoys me when people don’t understand the back end of things. Though I can understand the frustration a little bit

[@bo-yc1vd]

​@@ernestuy7128 yeah but please don't talk about lego production like if it's a sort handcraft making

[@wildgrizzlybear8920]

[@danielsala81]

and in Canada, the lego bmw bike costs less (just by 10$, but still) and has more pieces than this one (1921 vs 1478), LEGO and their business model, find the error and in Hungary, this bike costs less (94000 Ft vs 104000 Ft).

[@byugrad1024]

Finally LEGO made pieces for a transmission that actually look like they are designed for a transmission.

[@idonjohnson6999]

Kudos on that gearbox with those selector drums and forks. Those blue wheels wouldn’t look bad on the BMW bike. Specially in combination with the gold shocks. Oh and those yellow/gold-ish shocks, they must resemble Öhlins.

[@chaostade4087]

as a Yamaha MT-07 owner im excited to see the MT-10 getting into LEGO! Im definately gonna buy it.

[@FZ1Nightrider]

As an owner of a '23 MT-10 i simply MUST have it, it's so cool!

[@extranceIT]

Since I don’t see anyone that pointed that out: the “indicator” is not an indicator at all, thus why it’s covered. Its main purpose is simply to allow for only 4 positions of the gearbox. It “stops” you from shifting when it’s at either end

[@JTCF]

Wow, tye new gearbox parts are amazing! It's interesting to see them return to a 2l driving ring, but improved for less slack. The sliding forks make this VERY similar to real gearboxes, I wonder what kinds of gearboxes in cars can be made in the future. And also, the bike looks cool.

[@Void_s]

Yeah, with A LOT OF clutch gears now it we really can build 4-5-6-7-8 steps gearbox in way limited size!

[@PhoenixClank]

Not a fan of the new gearbox pieces until I see them working with the old manual changeover catch. Especially those new wave shifters are way too huge and it doesn't help that they come in such a gaudy color. Also, I've said it before and I won't stop saying it: a model where you need an AR app on your smartphone to look at how the mechanism(s) work does not deserve to carry the "Technic" banner.

[@maddadbricks]

SUPER impressed with this build! Love the way the frame comes together in bag 1 and then the whole engine/gearbox assembly is constructed and mounted into the frame. Just awesome. Can't wait! ~Matt 💜💙🖤💙💜

[@YoranTT]

Is it posible to spwap nutral and first gear

[@MrAmorti]

Why? Real bikes all have neutral between 1&2.

[@YoranTT]

@@MrAmorti you are right but i prefer sequential shifting

[@MushroomSmuggler]

Price is absolutely crazy imo, I bought the BMW bike at launch for €200 (250 now) and it has 500 more pieces than this? Why are they charging so much is it the licence?

[@atomicjoc3771]

Its a good thing that Lego create different size of clutchable gears. Like a real manual gearbox, with forks to clutch the gear. A real gearbox has a synchronizing gear, here it is the grey ring who make the job. Old gearbox needed an extra shaft to reduction and lot of friction. 3 different gears, we just need 2 more and it will be just perfect.

[@unoka1975]

Szia Balázs! Már a videó előtt el volt döntve, hogy mindenképpen meg fogom venni, annak ellenére is, hogy több csoportban lehúzták, pedig még csak a fotókon láthatták.

[@thomasrodriguez7803]

As a motorcycle rider myself, that is nice. The shift mechanism is great. It looks like it shifts a lot smother than the BMW. I'd like to add that to my bike collection. As always, your builds and opinions are greatly appreciated.

[@pedro380085]

I love how complex the build is!

[@blux78]

Having seen the building process, I like it even better! I love this new 1:5 motorcycle series and each new model will likely only get better, both technically and aesthetically, so I’m sure we’re in for nice treats the coming years. As always, wait for those special days where you can get discounts up to 35 or even 40 percent, and you’ll have a great building experience on your hands I’m sure.

the big 4x8 inverted tile piece has been released in a few new sets and I think the first time it was pointed out was in the recent UCS X-wing, the black one in this video also exists in a new beach party-themed friends set

Seeing the building process changes between the BMW bike and this one is really interesting! Love the fact that the air intake grill behind the front wheel is much more secure than on the BMW, I always had troubles with it popping off. Interesting that it has the engine built in phase 2, excited for the new parts! I wonder how difficult it'll be to convert the engine in the BMW to use the new parts...

Thank you for your review, high quality as ever. I hope this model is the start of a new trend that I would really welcome: A proper chassis with a whole gearbox and engine subassembly, like in the real world. Along with the new gearbox parts, this set comes as close to the real thing as nothing before. To all potential customers: Please, please, please buy this to show them that this level of effort gets apprechiated.

[@MrAmorti]

I would have liked to see new parts to make a Crossplane crank. It's an important selling point of the original bike, it's mentioned in the AR, but it's not there in the model.

[@DeWhiskeys]

Thank you for the review. I would have the same critique I had for the BMW... You can't see any mechanical part working. In the end it just becomes a very expensive toy that you had to assemble yourself, something to display, rather than play. Not much to enjoy on the technic side once you build it.

[@reza42145]

These days your videos feel a bit rushed i.e., you could have expressed how do you see/feel the new gearbox setup with all those new parts. A comparison to BMW or all the previous transmission systems could have been helpful with a few more words. As much as I like your detailed build narration I also miss the past slow paced text only videos. You talk to us moar it helps all of us undertsand the set better.

[@RacingBrick]

This is a 12+ minute video where I literally don't stop talking about the details, I'm not sure how could I squeeze in more information. Creating such a detailed building review video takes days, compared to a speed build that everyone else does and literally takes zero extra effort to film the building process. I could of course add more comparisons, talk about my views and stuff, but that'd be a 20 minute video that I'm not sure more people would watch, and would take my time away even more from creating other videos. Btw, if you prefer a review with text only then Sariel is still doing his reviews, you have great content over there.

[@reza42145]

@@RacingBrick who asked you to do a 20 minutes long video? It's been prolly 7/8 years we watch your videos. And both reviewers (Sariel and you) have their own specialties. iirc you did not even have to prepare 20+ minute videos to tell a bit more in any of your previous videos. LOL, I just pointed out telling a bit more would help all of us a little more and that's that. Chill 😆

[@CyanideTipped]

I would have watched (and preferred) the 20-min. video. :)

[@reza42145]

@@CyanideTipped same from me. No problem with a bit long videos. Lego don't release every set evolutionary. Talking a bit more for those ones would always be appreciated

[@RacingBrick]

@@reza42145 so no one asked me to do a 20 minute video but you'd prefer that one, ok :) I'm totally chill by the way, just tried to point out how much extra effort would be required from my side to add everyone's favorite extra topic, comparison and whoever knows what piece of information. Making the video in this format already takes days, and would be even more if I made all of them longer. I need to find a balance, otherwise I would have 2-3 videos per month. And no, KZbin does not pay enough to compensate the missing views in that case so I won't go that way, sorry.

[@Topendz]

I’m a motorcyclist and love the 1:5 BMW being a sports bike rider. I don’t find this model very appealing unfortunately either the real or Lego version. Would have preferred the R nine T as a naked Lego version but glad to see more of these large scale motorcycles well done Lego

[@karelvandam]

Do you think this gearbox will hold up under torque of a heavy model, say a tracked vehicle? I am interested in testing it but the price is a bit high since you need two for a tracked version.

[@YR0117]

This is an old comment so not sure if you’re still curious about this. I cannot speak to the torque the gearbox can handle, but you only need one of these for a tracked vehicle if you build a subtractor to go along with it. You could use this gearbox to shift gears for the drive motor while the turning motor probably doesn’t need to be able to shift really.

[@AltrixStorm]

Great review. I might have messed up something, but when changing the gearbox from neutral to any other stage and turning the wheels on the lego stand support, the engine makes crippling sound, and also the chain part stutters. The same happened to me with the BMW set. From my experience, slightly lifting the front of the set seems to decrease the stuttering. Also it doesn't happen when rolling the set on ground. Did anyone notice this kind of deviation?

The new pieces are exciting but is using an axle to push the stepper (yellow) gear good enough? I'm wondering if they could have added a better piece for that too... A bit unfortunate you have to use the app to see a virtual version of the mecanism, or even the model's documentation, not sure how long this app will be maintained... Nice review!

[@tonyjrdeets]

I've been contemplating lubricating my gears for quite a long time, but i'm too worried about chemical reactions with the ABS and the tendency for lubricants to Get clogged up with dust and debris. Does anybody have a suggestion for the best lubricant To use on these plastic gears? Something that won't react chemically and stays relatively clean? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a point where you can input a lego motor? Not to drive around, just to sit behind the stand o something and drive the gearbox. Would be nice to be able to shift gears and actually see the ratios at work, rather than spinning the wheel.

[@vladgheneli]

what I really don't understand is why do they always make the shifting 1 -> N -> 2 and so on. Why is neutral after 1? I don't drive bikes but I'm pretty sure neutral isn't supposed to be AFTER the first gear. How hard it is to make it realistic?

[@RacingBrick]

Apparently it isn't that hard to make it realistic, since this is the proper shifting sequence for bikes ;)

[@vladgheneli]

@@RacingBrick wow, this just doesn't make sense to me. Can you somehow bypass first gear and start driving with the second gear selected? What's the logic? I can't imagine it's fun to start with one down for first gear and then 2 up to shift into second gear, passing through neutral once more. Very weird! And apparently, after a quick search, some bikes have normal sequence, neutral being the lowest. EDIT: Ok, so as far as I understand it's somehow HALF up for neutral, and FULL up for second gear, so the LEGO version is not 100% realistic after all, haha.

[@RacingBrick]

@@vladgheneliI've never ridden a motorcycle in my life, so I've no idea, but I've been told that's how it works. I'm sure you can find people around you who have experience, so the best thing to do is ask them.

[@xaytana]

I'm glad Lego is finally starting to make proper gearbox selectors, but I don't like the design of these specifically. Having what's essentially the old design with an intermediary portion just doesn't feel right to me, it feels lacking, especially with the space the new assembly requires. Personally I'd rather see a slightly longer shaft with discrete steps along it, and also a way to limit steps so that if you have an atypical design that requires a certain amount of steps between two clutch gears it's still fully possible with the same parts. However I do recognize that this design does have some flexibility in use when multiple selectors are stacked and clocked differently, but I also think this is a very specific range of use compared to a more proper part that just let's you have more selector positions along a longer shaft. I also wonder about the longevity of the new yellow cogs, the way this set uses them also doesn't really feel correct either, having a beam to lock one in place when a ball joint could've sufficed, having an axle push-rod also seems a bit odd. I'd be curious to see how these new parts are motorized in the future, I'm assuming Lego has an interesting implementation. For example on my complains about the new selectors not having discrete stops, etc., at one time I had a design of the old style of selector (the red ones) in combination with a geared auto-reversing linear actuator, this setup allowed for the driveshaft to be extended linearly which allowed for horizontal tessellation of clutch gears to allow for an automated sequential switch of a very large number of gears; of course this assembly was large on its own, but it also demonstrates the fact that selectors shouldn't be so inherently limited, and especially not when you want to expand beyond four or eight (which in the new selector's case is still 4 but with an intermediary pause) selections, technically even odd-numbered selections were possible thanks to the newer 3L axle connectors in combination with the older 2L ones while using the old 2L selectors. If the previous could ever be miniaturized in any way, which would be difficult and would rely on custom parts if not having it fully motorized with multiple motors switching inputs instead of being fully mechanical with a singular overall input method, then I'd prefer that over what Lego is currently doing; I just think Lego's system, while simplistic, is also inherently heavily limited in usability, at least in sequential uses, as fully selectable uses (such as an H pattern box) are a much more complex issue that really isn't possible anymore with the current system not having a proper slider like the old red selectors were. I also wonder if any MOC creators have any plans of taking a couple of these and making a Yamaha Niken. The coloration is mostly correct, the branding is mostly correct, I'm sure paneling is adaptable, the major hurdle is the leaning mechanism and its cowl.

[@SaperPl1]

The parts for driving the switching of gears look a bit over complicated, I envisioned this kind of part to use existing worm gears, but I guess matching the travel length and making it easy to assemble was a bigger priority here.

I'm not usually interested in Technic, but I do quite like this set. However, while I like naked bikes, I'm not a fan of the weird headlights Yamaha designed for this one. So I'd have to find a way to build a more classic round headlight like they have on their Sport Heritage line. Unfortunately, the price tag on these bigger sets is always a turn off. So I'll have to wait until I can find this set at a discount.
