Just ahead of Christmas, BMW Motorrad and the LEGO Group have unveiled the LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR, which will be released on January, 1st 2022. The 1.5 scale model requires 1,920 individual pieces, when fully assembled the model is almost 18-inches long.
The LEGO BMW features a fully functional three-speed gearbox, an upside-down fork, and a rear swingarm with suspension. The dashboard offers three different display options, a gold-colored drive chain, paddock wheel stand, and pit board.
The LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR sees BMW Motorrad and LEGO continue their successful partnership and offers fans the opportunity to build the first model M motorcycle of BMW Motorrad that, like its real-life counterpart, stands for technical excellence and attention to detail.
Samuel Tacchi, designer at the LEGO Group commented: “It’s been so much fun getting underneath the skin of such a significant model for BMW Motorrad. There’s a reason why these beautifully engineered bikes are so universally loved by the biking community, and we are confident our LEGO Technic version is a winner like its real-life namesake.”
The LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR will be available exclusively in LEGO stores and on www.LEGO.com from January 1, 2022, and select retailers from March 1, 2022, with an MSRP of $229.99.
