kawasaki in the corner to lego : What have I done to you

[@tren133]

Hey at least Kawasaki has a Lego model, along with Ducati/Yamaha/BMW. Even Suzuki has a technics style model made by CaDA. Honda is the one that is left out.

[@EeriestPuma]

They should make a dirt bike

[@beegee8318]

Bro, there's already a LEGO Technic dirt bike...

[@EeriestPuma]

@ just looked it up never knew they had one wish the updated it

[@beegee8318]

​@@EeriestPumaoh my bad

[@porumbgeorge-andrei843]

You can avoid bubbles by wet applying the big sticker and using a credit card (or a rubber card with a sharp edge) to flatten it as you go. I find that some sort of transparent liquid hand sanitizer like the 1€ one from lidl works best.

[@smirkingrevenge6]

Agreed... I always start on one edge, and use the credit card to push along the sticker as I lay it, and if you notive any bubbles you get the chance to do a small reset. My latest phone screen protectors are coming with a card with a soft foam edge which I'm now using as it just gives some extra protection 😊

[@cursory9031]

You mean rub an alcohol on the panel first before applying sticker carefully using a card?

[@porumbgeorge-andrei843]

@@cursory9031 spray, not rub, but yes - preferably transparent alcohol.

[@porumbgeorge-andrei843]

@@smirkingrevenge6 those screen protector bubble removals are perfect, that's what i use nowadays alongside tweezers. Jewelry or clock tweezers are cheap and they help a lot for small parts.

[@narcosis9842]

I find using the lego block removal tool (orange tool) to apply stickers allows much more control, helps with straightness and avoiding bubbles 👍

[@sherryswisher8911]

Use soapy water soapy water to apply decals. It lets you move them and remove bubbles. Dish soap works mixed in water in a spray bottle.

[@DoorTechnicianRick]

"Let's test first gear" *Spins wheel in reverse* 😂

[@RacingBrick]

Because anything different would happen the other way around on a LEGO set, right? :)

[@justinbroniszewski]

I love it! I own the BMW, so this will be a nice contrast on the shelf.

[@JTCF]

The neutral spinning is due to the shaft the driving ring is on having some friction with the gears that are slotted on that axis. Even though these gears have pin holes instead of cross axle holes, there is still some friction which is what drives the engine in neutral when you first tested it. I've encountered this with gearboxes I've made for my creations too, but it's not a problem when the model is assembled I think.

[@stephensugay7964]

Before this Ducati, in my opinion, the BMW looked more true to form-compared to the Yamaha; the Yamaha however seemed more structurally sound with more reliable functions. This Ducati merges the best qualities of its predecessors-mostly true to form, and structurally sound, with reliable functions. Well done Lego. Uwe Wabre is one heck of a Lego master by the way.

[@loganfritzsche8439]

It seems like these new gearbox pieces greatly improved the friction in between the gears. For instance, in the bmw, (which I own), first gear has a significant amount of friction when turning the wheel. It really makes sense, considering the gearboxes are now less complex, and I really wonder what it would take to fit the Ducati gearbox into the bmw.

[@chrisfonvergne4709]

Great build, looks like fun. Like always, a very good and informative posting. Thank you.

[@milanstefanovic3854]

Love the way they executed the engine. Makes me buy this one, also. Yamaha and Beemer are already in my collection. (small collection, at that)

[@dcpow]

for 160€ This bike is a no brainer! As you can see the love the designers put into it.😍

[@SaperPl1]

I would prefer more bikes in smaller scale/more of them more often to be honest. Those huge sets cost too much and also take a lot of time to assemble for an adult, so they're out of the question as a gift for an adult while the smaller ducati panigale and car transporter scale sports cars were ideal for gifts.

[@ImDamian09]

You dont have to build it in one go, you dan also take multiple evening's

[@proraptor4146]

I would prefer Lego to downsize all of their sets in general. Who has a bunch of room to display all these huge models?

[@homizuhara1756]

Speed champions lover here. They're the perfect size.

[@iamgeek01]

I’d prefer some classic motorcycles instead of new ones like triumph bonnevilles, Honda CB750 or the CBX1000

[@Lucianohlegomocs]

Plus the smaller scale matches with the rest of the 1:8 supercars unlike the larger ones

[@constellar04]

The last ever set i bought was the V4R approx. 3 years ago. Since i absolutely adore that set, i might have to save up some money....

[@initialdae8642]

get ready, theres more amazing sets coming. absolutely stunning

[@ELBASIC]

I was trying to decide what motorcycle to buy in the 1/5 scale if the bmw or the yamaha buy, then Lego came out with this, which is my favorite, not only cheaper but with more pieces

[@stephensugay7964]

Just got this one. Gift cards for the win! I’m looking forward to the build. Happy New Year! May your channel enjoy even greater success this year!!! 🎉

[@40-forty-plus]

For that price, including stickers instead of prints is a middle finger from Lego to customers.

[@Bionickpunk]

The real question is: Can a Bionicle figure ride the motorbike?

[@RacingBrick]

I think it's too big, the smaller scale ones fit a Bionicle figure better

[@beegee8318]

HONEY WAKE UP RACINGBRICK POSTED A NEW VIDEO!!!

[@a_bad_channel]

man if only there was a lego technic ducati that was more affordable, i guess we can only dream.

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

Wouldn't be a Ducati if it was "affordable" 😂

[@raycaves2468]

More affordability is only possible in specific situations, eg. it could be a Technic Ducati but not LEGO, a Ducati and LEGO but not Technic, or Technic and LEGO but not Ducati (or the mini version), so choose wisely

[@JetBlastPone]

Pls review the Technic Bush Plane next :)

[@CrazyChemistPL]

I'm more and more convinced to get it, but I think I'll wait for after the official release and perhaps lower price.

[@LiterallyVanh]

Will you continue reviewing LEGO Speed Champions 2024 sets? As I'm really into watching your Speed Champions review videos

[@RacingBrick]

There are no more 2024 sets left, looking forward to review the 2025 first wave in March

[@ToaMeikhaal]

This looks like a very exciting build. Maybe if I had unlimited money I would get it. But I already have the V4R, so Ima gonna be happy with that until further notice

[@marktackman2886]

Love the new piston design

[@Unbrickme]

I love that shirt you are wearing! I bought all four shirts that you are selling!

[@RacingBrick]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@For891]

In the US we normally just get plastic bags. Still after almost 5 years of reading Legos inserts about how we're getting paper bags.

[@RacingBrick]

To get these figures in order, LEGO has announced the plans to switch to paper bags in 2020. I saw the first samples in 2022, but until the end of last year most boxes here in Europe still had plastic bags. The paper bags appeared in larger quantities this year, but I still had a few sets this summer with plastic bags. I assume these were either made earlier or are not produced worldwide and come from a different factory. Switching to paper bags requires replacing the entire packaging machinery, they do it factory by factory, and apparently the US is among the last to switch. But that doesn't mean the switch isn't happening worldwide.

[@zniesmaczony]

I've just finished building it and though it seems to be the most sturdy of all three 1:5 scale motorcycles, and generally well designed, I'm super annoyed by the malfunctioning gear box. I tried to be as precise as I could but I couldn't get the pistons NOT to work on the neutral gear. The gearbox was supposed to be the highlight of the build with all its fancy parts but instead we get three geared box with no neutral. Such a shame. It does run the smoothiest of all the big models but still.

[@IndrasilDesignStudio]

I wish for a chopper bike instead of yet another speeder...

[@MinhtuanDinh-k2z]

im thinkin a muscle cruiser like a 1985 yamaha v-max

[@constellar04]

The last one we got is the Harley in like 2019 or so i think?

[@MinhtuanDinh-k2z]

@NathanDrake-z5w ah fu- wait. mt stands for masters of torque, and the mt10sp is a naked bike, not a superbike, so why is the mt10sp in the 1:5 lineup?

[@Steps85]

Panlos has some choppers

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

1:53 why is that a bit strange? It's an updated model, happens in all types of vehicle line ups... a Ford Focus from 2024 is different to a Ford Focus from 2010... buts its still a Ford Focus.🤷‍♂️

[@RacingBrick]

Yeah, if it is a Ford Focus then understandable. But in this case it is more like naming both models Ford Focus MK4 :)

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

@RacingBrick I see where you are coming from... I don't know enough about Ducati's but being a Kawasaki ZX6R rider, it's always been the Kawasaki ZX6R but they have model numbers that aren't listed in thr promotional material. E.g. my bikes have been a G2('99), B2H('04) and JRFAN('24) so I wouldn't be surprised to find out that both of those Panigale V4s have different model numbers, regardless of any advertised denomination that may exist such as the S or R. Definitely one for my birthday wishlist in Jan though 😋 didn't know anything about it until your video popped up in my recommended! Keep up the good work!

[@chesterwiplefilter7817]

I'm not into Lego Technic sports bikes, but after watching this review I wanna buy one. 😂

[@roelhendrickx4302]

I'll stick with the smaller set. I really loved that build. I really like that size of motorcycles (Batcycle, BMW offroad traveller bike, older orange dirtbike). They are affordable and can be built in an enjoyable single session. Much like the Car Transporter size of cars, that I generally prefer over the 1:8 scale supercars. Those huge models are expensive, take too much time (Lego is an "inbetween work" hobby for me) and need too much space for display. (I occasionally rent one to build it just for the experience, but I don't "crave" them...)

[@Mah_Bricks]

Cool set, too bad the display plaque wasn't printed tho

[@jakubadamec3243]

I wish winter was gone so I could ride my Honda again 🥸

[@MelbourneRailfan]

I knew this would come someday

[@KelOmorireal-g1j]

I remember making the smaller set and I sucked so bad at it that I just gave up and put it in my basement

[@TheGilvb]

faz tempo q eu não via os videos, como o lego por aqui é tão caro, eu tento dar uma relaxada ra mente pra não ficar com vontade de ficar comprando kkkkkk, mas ainda achei a MT mais massa do que a Ducati, mas ela está linda

[@qassaq_amanaty_]

[@shoua7]

I'm gonna be the odd one here, but in my opinion, the BMW looks better BECAUSE of the amount of stickers.

[@Fireboy8841]

Ive been into lego for sometime but have never bought technic and was interested. But after seeing that build process i dont know 😂😂😂 So complex

[@ara_ara-]

Can the blue gear be replaced with the black or tan gear?

[@koirue]

Even if I'm a young adult, I can't help but still watch lego reviews hahawahaha (child core)

[@vladgheneli]

I'd reaaaaally love to get an answer from LEGO to WHY IN THE WORLD do they keep bringing us the number7 connector in the same color as the G-Wagon, nobody NEEDS that color, we need a black one, how hard can it be to RECOLOR a part? I feel like I'm going crazy with this team

[@justtoolleeow304]

paint them

[@alfanovanta]

Going crazy over that are you? Imagine my pain from all those fffking BLUE PINS! 😭 Every Lego model I get same issue, buy model and check the number of black pins to buy next. And then some more to replace some wacky lime bits. Why does Lego hate their customers so much???

[@WizardOfOss]

Very mixed feelings about the way that engine was built. I mean, I do get why they use those parts on smaller bikes (I do have the Kawasaki too), and for those I'm perfectly fine with it. But for this big scale, why not just use cranks? Wasn't Technic about replicating real mechanisms? It's just unneccessary.... Overall, looks nice, but I'll stick with the smaller ones. Sure, these big ones look impressive, but with a 3rd gear as the only functional difference and at 3-4 times the price, I just don't see the value here. And that even the 1x1 tile gets a sticker only adds insult to injury. Premium price, budget quality. In that regard I'm also curious about that brown bag for the instructions, how much protection will that offer?

[@JTCF]

The front tire is installed backwards. The thread pattern should form a forward-facing "V" on the top.

[@RacingBrick]

Maybe tell Ducati, as they made the same "mistake" - ducatistore.co.uk/news/2025-panigale-v4/

[@FahriRadityaFakhriRaditya]

2025 TANPA ROKOK DI MALL, BIOSKOP TANPA ROKOK, IKLAN TANPA ROKOK DI TV,

[@Verhagenvictor]

man, i get that this setup allows for a 90 degree bank angle in the engine, but using that cam gear for the crank, and a full two studs between cylinder is just wrong... I wish lego would do some more correct engine detail instead, why not use transparent cylinders and build up a detailed cylinder head, with a timing chain etc? Bonus points for cool manifold details etc... I was very much set on getting this set, but this serious regression in engine mechanics just bugs me, but designing a better engine will be hard with that big black frame right through the middle of it....

[@ProWierdchamp]

It’s no fair you get all paper bags and every Lego set I purchase I always get plastic bags (except new parts encasement and instructions).

[@RacingBrick]

I see it is suddenly a hot topic, I already answered it longer under this video, you can easily find the other comment.

[@subwayDude101]

[@routeennerd]

Is it as robust and as playable as the Yamaha, or is it flimsy and only made for display like the BMW?

[@RacingBrick]

I'm not sure how someone would play with such a huge bike, but it doesn't feel flimsy

[@routeennerd]

@RacingBrick For some reason, the Yamaha is much better to play with than the smaller scale bikes since I'm a big man. I bet the Ducati is no different!

[@pedro380085]

I always asked my mom for this type of bikes but I always got the ones without a motor

[@victorgibson4932]

The back tyre is way too small. It looks wrong.

[@minniem522]

So this pretty much a Lego Arcee

[@pivorsc]

BMW has more organic shapes, this really didnt translate well into Lego in that scale

[@FredMellink55]

I find the present that goes with Lego models above €150 or $150 is not fitted with many models. Ducati ‘lovers’ are not glad with the ballerine with nutcracker. I am thinking about buying the Endurance ship, that I dicovered too late to get the Shackelton Life boat that was a bonus for the first buyers. So now also the ballerina with nut cracker is replacing this life boat that would be a nice combination with the Endurance ship.

[@NickChronic01]

for this price tag they need to stop with stickers

[@alfanovanta]

Lego: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@imagenius9574]

What a nice looking set! I can't wait to see all the new printed and exclusive parts! What, there are no prints? Ok, well the motorcycle has glow in the dark headlights and no really odd colored parts, right? Also no. Well, at least it has more functionality than the small version. Also no; it's just more bulky. Well, at least it's a good value for money. It's $200? F***, and the other one was $70. Yeah, don't buy this set. Lego is trying to make extra money on a "premium" set that is simply the $70 set, but bigger. Nothing really special about it to make it worth $200.

[@3dimitrije30]

Stickers are unacceptable at this price imo, but they can do anything they want i guess

[@YourAverageStoner]

I will forever feel that the MT10 and H2R scales should’ve been swapped.

[@JekPorkbricks]

I don't think the fact it uses the newer engine pieces is a plus. Those pieces are great for simulating a crankshaft at a smaller scale but in such a large motorcycle I would expect a proper crankshaft.

[@RacingBrick]

With this combination of parts you actually have a more realistic/detailed setup than previously with the classic elements

[@JekPorkbricks]

@@RacingBrick But aren't those round parts in this set only a faux crankshaft? Sure, power can be transferred from the wheels to the pistons but surely not the other way around if this construction were upscaled?

[@RacingBrick]

@@JekPorkbricks I'm not sure how you expect the fake engine to power anything, both with the new and old parts. With the old tan crankshaft pieces you could only have 2 phases, now with the new ones you can have 4 positions.

[@JekPorkbricks]

@@RacingBrick I just meant that in the new pieces the pistons are clipped to a rounded shape whereas in the old pieces the pistons are actually attached via technic holes and axles to a crankshaft, which is much more realistic for carrying over force despite both types of Lego engines obviously not actually being able to power a wheel. But if we are purely speaking visually then I guess having 4 positions is nicer when looking at the pistons from the outside.

[@Skibidigokyllyourself]

So Handsome

[@9GSR]

I just don’t understand, why Lego did this one instead the 2023 v4R, or the 2019. It just plain ugly the new v4, Ducati owners not pleased with the new model. Lego should had done the oldest version on a large scale and not the little crap it one. I will buy this one, no choice whatsoever….

[@AHYL88]

It's unusual that this Ducati set is actually a bit less costly than the Yamaha set, especially in a world where the prices of things are going up constantly and rapidly. It looks great but it's not what I'll go for, even with a hefty discount. I already have the big BMW bike and the older smaller Ducati. While there's no doubt the new big Ducati is a lot smoother with its functions, it doesn't really bring much new to the table. Those new to this won't be disappointed though.

[@Eddecs]

The gear lever is the wrong way, you're supposed to press it with your toes when riding, not with your heel

[@hansn.433]

And again a unicorn vomitted into the box. I mean, why not black and grey pins and gears. How stupid does Lego believe their customers are?

[@alfanovanta]

Very.....

[@Owy.]

I just realized it doesn't have an exhaust pipe at the back of the bike. at least I don't see one

[@tregoboing]

It's not well represented in the lego model, but if you look at the box picture, it's essentially the central grey piece at the very bottom of the bike.
