LEGO 42130: BMW M 1000 RR: In-depth Review, Speed Build & Parts List

[@nvl2691]

This looks incredible. Hopefully they'll continue making these, just like the supercars!

[@alexandregeracao6345]

The lack of side mirrors is probably intensional since most bikes of that class can have the mirrors easily removed for track days, including that one.

[@OscarScheepstra_Artemis_]

Don't you need mirrors for track day? I mean, you gotta see who is behind you... I guess. I don't know much about bikes :B

[@TheChristmasWarrior]

@@OscarScheepstra_Artemis_ might be distracting and obstructive to wind flow?

[@mojifan4984]

@@OscarScheepstra_Artemis_ no when you are going to the track you don't need mirrors. Moto GP Bikes also don't have mirrors

[@redstonesuchti]

the mirrors are even shown on the box itself. Also, easily removable mirrors should not be a huge problem with Legos so I see no other explanation than cost cutting. Pretty sad to see this on a set that feels too expensive already.

[@kevinkoch2510]

There is no mirror simply because they are absent on the race version. Same as for the support of the license plate. You'll easily find pictures of that version on the web. So nothing wrong here.

[@TFBRamos]

One note on the gearing: the reason it has a neutral in between the second and third gear is because in motorcycles the neutral is in between the first and second gears (hence: "one down, five up" when talking about the gear changes). You just named the gears backwards, since 1st is the one that spins the engine faster and 3rd the one that spins it slower for the same wheel speed. Timestamp for reference: 26:26

[@matteocristini6221]

You're right but on this bike it literally goes 1 2 N 3, at constant wheel speed here 3rd makes the engine spin faster. This means that the gearbox's design is flawed, because as you correctly stated, 3rd gear should make the engine spin slower. Racingbrick also pointed this issue out.

[@marksawyer1841]

@@matteocristini6221 If i recall right, the gears are in the same order as in the Ducati-set. Maybe it's intentionally to be a race shifting, where the gear pattern is reversed

[@TFBRamos]

@@matteocristini6221My point is that what you called 3rd is actually 1st, as a lower gear makes the engine spin faster for the same wheel speed, so the transmission is correct. The shifting also seems to be correct for the street use, since you press the lever down to downshift, some racing bikes reverse that but it doesn't looks like they did it for the set. Or am I getting it wrong?

[@matteocristini6221]

@@TFBRamos you are absolutely right. What feels wrong is having the neutral gear between 2nd and 3rd

[@WizardOfOss]

There's a lot to love here, and so many cool new parts. But one thing I absolutely hate (and especially at this price point!) is that after the Sian with only prints, they're back at stickers. An awful lot of them, and with some issues like the gaps and terrible color matching. And without stickers this will look like a mess.....

[@aquagd5073]

Now this is what i want and expect from a technic set

[@3run020]

That is the set I've been dreaming about for years !!! It was very difficult to include a sequential gearbox and a 4-inline engine with the smaller scale. There's now so many possibilities for serious bike builds!

[@Isegawa2001]

Oh goodness that looks beautiful, I need it

[@philevans3891]

Good review. I ride motorcycles and this bike is actually meant as a race bike so i like the look of it without the mirrors. And also racebikes dont really have much movement in the handlebars.

[@user-rs1990]

Racing Bikes don't need side mirrors if they're merely used on the racetrack.

[@BlackringIII]

This set is just absolutely insane in every aspect. I don't think I've ever seen so many new parts in a single set. A little bit disappointed about the relative durability: and, I didn't want to bring it up, because I can see how much effort went into this set, but does it feel like $200? Does it match the value of, say, the land Rover defender?

[@ClassiqueMotors]

The price point is, in my opinion, a little too high. This is due to the BMW licensing. The Ducati was a surprisingly good deal for a licensed set, unparalleled with any other.

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

£189 is a lot... £30 or slightly more and I can have a used 42083 Chiron

[@brickchef8282]

One of the problems i got with sets like this. If you gona use to many new parts it becomes more and more like a model building kit. I could make nearly anything if I'm going to use new parts for every set. This drifts away for what was lego standing, at least in my opinion.

[@I.G.C.A]

@@ClassiqueMotors Remember that there are a lot of new pieces

[@nkende]

@@brickchef8282 I understand your point, but I don't think it "drifts away" from Lego's past. There always have been new parts each year, and those parts (if succsesful) have then been used in many other sets after. A lot of the parts that are new or rare in this set won't be rare a few years later.

[@searme]

Correction: as it turns out, the set is actually priced $230, not $200. My apologies, I had a bad info.

[@catzzzz1450]

Thats quiet expensive,i’ll go with Panigale V4

[@zaxisontherun1650]

[@3DKiwi]

[@JekPorkbricks]

These reviews are always a joy to watch.

[@extranceIT]

in terms of functionalities I'd say it's ungenerous to say this set doesn't add anything new. By looking at how the gearbox work, I'd say it's the first time we see a gearbox where a sequential shifting mechanism includes the neutral "gear". If we look at the Ducati panigale, it featured a "direct" shifting mechanism, where the shifting lever set the gear based on position, while if we look at sequential gearboxes, like the ones of the Bugatti and the Lamborghini, the neutral gear is inserted or removed by a separated selector. This possibility of having the neutral gear reachable from the shifting mechanism gives us inspiration for possibly an F1-like gearbox. Using only the paddles we could go from Neutral to driving gears. It may be something that people can come up with on their own, but it's cool also for non MOC-ers to discover new kind of builds. I myself am working on a 1:8 scale F1 MOC, and I will try to explore how gearboxes with lego work to get to the point when I can construct an F1 gearbox where the neutral gear can be inserted directly from paddle shift

[@ggj1987]

This is the first BMW ///Motorsport set. Hopefully we'll get an M-car set some day!

[@robertespinoza5958]

I think its insane just how huge just the engine assembly is! Like thats the size of his fist on its own xD

[@Jayneflakes]

Thanks for a great review, this bike seems to have taken everything I hated about the Ducati and fixed it, the bad screen and lack of front fender was almost offensive! As for steering lock, I have a real sports bike and they really are that bad. It's murder on the wrists trying to turn around in a tight parking space! However, building your own motorbike and then riding it on the street is the coolest thing ever, so this build might come close to that feeling. Great video as always.

[@Jayneflakes]

As a dedicated Suzuki girl, if they released the GSXR, I would have to buy it, but given that I already have the GS1200 and the Ducati, I will skip this one... I know, but putting fuel in the real bike has got expensive of late and I would rather ride while a tank of petrol is still affordable.

[@SaperPl1]

Seems like a great show piece for a shelf, but there's not much functionality that would be playable - if there was some dyno mount showing off the gear changes it could make sense, but here it's a big boy with a lot of falling pieces. Seems like an expensive shelf piece for AFOLs, but maybe the building experience is worth it?

[@mcwotguy6918]

Imo "Seems like an expensive shelf piece for AFOL" is the perfect description of alot of the recent lego technic sets

[@ClipsByMiles]

I think the shifting is in GP shift, first gear up and the rest down. That might be why you're having issues shifting and neutral.

[@IlyaFedorov]

Gorgeous set, but I was disappointed with so much loose in steering tube

[@leafycrossing4755]

This set does have a gearbox, but u can't see the moving parts or the engine very well. And it's a complex build when you can't really see what pieces go where. It looks good, but it doesn't play good.

The M 1000 RR is a pure racing bike, which is not intended to be driven on the streets. That's why it has no mirrors or a kickstand. These things are simply too heavy and not necessary :D

[@searme]

Maybe, but you can literally see side mirrors on the official promo photos of the M 1000 RR, which I've used in this review.

[@SiegfriedGlina]

Often removed on track days... that and the indicators. But if that was their argument they should have changed the reference photos.

@@searme sure, most pictures show them. but it is used often without mirrors, so for my opinion its okay to have no mirrors. at every other kind of bike it would be very weird

Can you show this motorcycle gear box manual or pdf? I am so curious!

[@searme]

[@jakfuki]

Giving it a low score and knocking it for “low playability” is pretty stupid considering it’s not intended for play. No kid or adult is going to be playing with it other than maybe messing with the shifting functions. It’s a static display model that looks great on a shelf. Besides that, it’s meant to be a challenging model. If you want something actually looks like the real thing, then go built an injection molded model kit. This is as good as it’s going to get for a LEGO set and it happens to be pretty damned good.

[@searme]

It's a Technic set. It's supposed to be playable by definition. If I wanted a completely static display set, I would buy something from the Architecture line.

[@lovemadeinjapan]

All Lego is intended for play... I know scalpers may feel otherwise, but Lego=play. Lego is terrible at dust collecting.

[@dmaclego]

Another great review, thanks!

[@tomekkrr7806]

Looks amazing - will get it soon. Only front lights and fender look poor!

[@Omgtired]

I wish they would've added working brakes by reviving the old "flex" system. It could've been relatively easily implemented (well maybe not that easy, since there is a suspension, but there can be some workarounds for sure, I can think of one at least) while looking esthetically pleasing as well. When I saw first low quality photos, that was my guess. Such a letdown in that regard. Overall a great set!

[@sabiha_.]

I'm in love with this set, so many details. BUT THE COST 😭😭

[@HCS2993]

[@CrazyChemistPL]

Is it crazy that I prefer my Ducati? Maybe prefer is a wrong word here, because I don't have the BMW (at least yet), but I fail to see much it brings over the Panigale. Sure, it is bigger and more detailed, but it looks like the suspension cannot really take the weight and the flimsiness only adds to that (I'm a bit of a perfectionist in that regard, I feel compelled to adjust things like that until they match exactly. I think this review only confirms the BMW is not for me. I also love how Ducati is a purely Technic build while BMW has to rely on some System parts. I actually see the Ducati as one in a million set - it combines functions, looks and spot-on aesthetics with a really reasonable price. And that's speaking of its bone stock version, it isn't hard to find a great ways to upgrade and updetail it on Rebrickable for example. Mine has upgraded handlebars, front and rear mudguards as well as footrests that double as manual cranks for the drivetrain.

[@bersace]

[@3DKiwi]

Woohoo, my bike has just arrived. There's a new 11 stud beam with hole in both axes that I've never seen before. Can anyone advise whether this is new to this bike or is in other sets. Be really useful for some of my motorcycle mocs.

[@searme]

It's in the other sets too. That's why I didn't list it as a new part.

[@catzzzz1450]

The piece appears in many sets before,example 42124 or 42128

[@Valentino_2109]

I just started setting it all up and after finishing the first part (engine) I got a few extra parts. Is that even possible? Will I need them for something else later or I just screwed up? 😏

[@searme]

It's called extra/spare parts, every LEGO set has them, see 19:26 in the video for reference.

[@3run020]

What?! The engine rotates slower when you gear down?? It is not the case in the Sian and in the Chiron. It is a non sense! I understand now the confusion with the neutral!

[@16Tooth]

It goes from 1st speed to 2nd Speed to N to 4th Speed???

To 3rd speed, there is no 4th.
