I’ve built nearly 130 Lego technic sets since 1981 when I was a kid .. this is one of the best technic sets I’ve ever built.. good job Lego! You have to see it in person when built.. this bike is massive in size!
On the rear shock absorber the spring is actually inside, and the blue one is only for aesthetics. Great review! I personally think the Ducati looks better, but that's just personal preference.
New to the Techic line, but got this set as i am a BMW Motorrad rider. I noticed you managed to motorize it in the video, what are the parts required to make this happen (ie which motor and parts)? Thanks for the awesome video.
between the bmw and ducati , i like the Ducati since its smaller , better for display , same functionality and cheaper . The BMW seems a bit oversized right now compared to other technique vehicles.
8070 was an awesome set...the rear wing was honestly horrible, but the whole set was really super...looked like a sort of dodge viper, nice functions, motorized, awesome doors mechanism, suspensions, v8, awesome parts and panels donor, all for 100€ or so
8043 is definitely number 1. Not sure about the next two. I like the cat d11 42131, the 42114, the 42129, the unimog u400, the arocs, and more. 8043 is always, easily number 1 for me. But sometimes i think the 42114 is second and other times i think the arocs is the second
@@Unbrickme Thanks for the reply bro, I will start hunting these down as I plan to get into Technics, but I only want a few pieces and I want them to be the best there is (small or large does not matter). Cheers, I appreciate your knowledgable videos!
If you're a biker and xwant this like I did, I picked it up on Stockx last week for $190 after taxes and shipping. It's currently going for between $150-170 on any given day.
There is also another con with the LEGO Technic set. The LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR has missing mirrors. The real BMW M 1000 RR motorcycle has mirrors. 4:57
Race bikes do not have mirrors. On the street version they are on for legal reasons only and are basically useless unless you want to look at your elbows.
101% defender...not only one of the most succeeded sets of the last years, but also a great parts donor, good for mocs, with a lot of already existing alternative models, nice aesthetic, functions and engineering, not heavily stickers dependent...and last but not least, "honest" price
At the Moment it is reducedto 130€............. Just bought the Rover for the raised Price of 199€ today............. .hmmmmmm.............i like that Bike.......especially after your Video.......damn.😭
No, its not worth it. As far as the functions are concerned, this set has everything the $70 Ducati has but costs a whopping $230. Considering the massive price increase, I would expect more technically advanced functions and a gearbox with a proper shifting sequence. I'm sorry LEGO, but this set is just big to be big, there is absolutely nothing special about this set except for the handful of new parts.
literally, the Ducati has all of the functions of this model in a smaller, more affordable package. Also, the Ducati is more playable, and robust, making it better for play or display. The fact you did not mention these flaws in your review is a problem for people considering buying the product. Great review anyways!
I find some minor cons major cons. First of all the sticker mayhem. It is unbearable. I think this would have worked with red and blue pieces too. Or did a non-M version. Who cares about red-blue-cyan? Second problem is the chain. It is obnoxious. Chains on motorcycles are black. Even if they come brass colour from the factory, they are black after 3 rides. This is an easy fix and you can throw away the fugly chain pieces easily. Third problem is the rims. Two issues with that. They are licensed thus non available in Bricks and Pieces, which is bad as many fill find they have 95% of parts and basically just need wheels and suspension bits to make this. Other wheel issue is that it should not have been licensed to begin with. The spokes are flimsy and ugly, giving the rim a cheap made-in-china like feel. The excellent tubes compensate a bit though, if you can get them on properly. It would have been better if this was a bigger variation of the classic technic rims as seen in earlier motor bikes.
I would say overpriced and too many stickers, but that's only because I don't like most of the stickers... But really, Lego should fix for once its pricing system... I understand that they price it a little higher because of all the new pieces, but 200€ is still too high...
With 200€, I would buy the interesting parts ( rear shock absorber, wheel and tire, gold chain, brake disks ) in the right quantities ( at least 6 of each of them and many more for the chains ) and be happy with the rest to continue my MOCs...
The set is overpriced? I mean, it is a BMW, everything is overpriced. My dad had to order a used windshield fluid container once when he worked for the shop. It was around $600.
A lot of money? Yes! Expensive? Not really. 1st it has a lot of parts and some brilliant new ones. In my country it costs €199,99. That means about 10,5ct per part. You will get at least €25 discount in stores. That makes you have to wait a few months but it's worth it. And even with the taxes off you get an even lower price. I'm one happy AFOl.

3:47 I with 230 dollars would take the Land Rover Defender because it has 2573 parts and a 4-speed sequential gearbox with 3 differentials
Pros:
Transmission - awesome
Shock absorbers - awesome
Aesthetics - awesome
Wheels - awesome
Cons:
To overpriced - not awesome
Everything is awesome! 🤣

The blue spring is not just for aesthetics. It adds a little tiny bit of strength
Helllll no. I ride a Ducati and this one far surpasses the Duc Lego 🤌🏽
This is so cool Unbrickme
So many new parts specific for this set makes it unmoc-able unless you buy at least 4 of them or so. Which is crazy.
Shit… I gotta do a tear down and fix my gearbox.
Price is a bit steep, but so glad I grabbed it the day it dropped. It looks amazing and displays very nicely.
I'd be getting this if it weren't for the high price.. should be priced closer to the Ferrari in my opinion
I think $200 would've been a fair price, maybe a little less
@@Unbrickme 180$ should be its price
Hurray we got another epic video
Lmao 4 min ago how am I here? Xd

Perhaps this BMW won't come with a recall 🤣
Good review, but one more I see with the front tire mounted incorrectly....

We all like it big
Nothing is wrong with having something bigger than everyone else.
Looks like a great set, the price is too high however.
agreed
@@Unbrickme Then buy some knockoff stuff. Lego is a premium brand that charges a premium price.
I actually bought mine for 177$ in my country
@@Toro_Da_Corsa boot licker
Amazing set!!! Love this motorcycle! 💪🏻👍🏻
Congratulations for getting this set👍also you uploaded this video when i was finishing my moc :p
I think it's a good set if it was priced at mabey $169.99 it would be an awesome set. And can you review the legendary 8070 supercar?
I think $200 is would’ve been a fair price. Also sorry, no review of the 8070
8070 was an awesome set...the rear wing was honestly horrible, but the whole set was really super...looked like a sort of dodge viper, nice functions, motorized, awesome doors mechanism, suspensions, v8, awesome parts and panels donor, all for 100€ or so
When were you last this happy about a Technic et? What are your top 3 Technic sets?
8043 is definitely number 1. Not sure about the next two. I like the cat d11 42131, the 42114, the 42129, the unimog u400, the arocs, and more.

How much resistance does the new shock absorber have
Yes.
Alot

I think they can be taken off in the real motorcycle
No one wants to use those mirrors. If it wasn’t illegal, everyone would take them off lol
Race bikes do not have mirrors. On the street version they are on for legal reasons only and are basically useless unless you want to look at your elbows.
I got one, but it was lacking of side mirrors
The lower part of the radiator is missing in the video. Or is it also too flimsy and fell off at one time?
Too flimsy, kept falling off. At this point I lost it and don’t know where it is
@@Unbrickme That's what I thought because the same thing happened to me, I had to glue it to keep it on. :(
my chain came off... guess im gonna have to rebulild!!??
front tire is installed in a wrong orientation. I am certified nerd))
I've been at the lego store today and saw this one for 170€
Nice work
Turns out you cant get alot of the new peices on bricks and peices like the new chains, shocks, wheels ,and tyres
you will be able to get them soon on bricklink
@@Unbrickme I actually remember hearing that Lego owns bricklink perhaps they will release them together
Can I buy this from you I would love to display it thank you
I'm thinking this set costs that much because of all the new specialized pieces.
I didn't like the motorcycle at first but now I love it. But I just don't like it's price, man.
This looks very cool but would you take this or the Land Rover
The motorcycle
@@Unbrickme are you serious 😂

yes

I found it for 170 dollars I think I'm going to get it

Oops! Sorry! I should have finished watching your review before commenting :)
Sure i will pick Ducati then,it still have nice gearbox and suspension
Hi you all I like the bike but not the price 😅 but is good for my stress a lot time consuming kips my mind busy really works good video thanks
This is a amazing set
Wir warten gespannt auf das Video vom Held der Steine.
What do you mean
@@Unbrickme ist is only a Troll
He says they can't wait for a video from Held der Steine
Held der Steine is much more critical. He dares to point out the flaws of a set. I find the Unbrickme channel way too forgiving towards Lego models.
Does he add English subtitles? I’m curious to hear his opinion

It's $30 on AliExpress
Good one ! I am building it! Just don’t like the stickers - too many!
Don’t press the bike - it hurts - it is a super bike not dirt bike ;-)
Such a nice technic set but again another example of lego overpricing for more profits
There is no seat
dude you're cool
I appreciate your support
@@Unbrickme wowww thank you sooo much. i'm going to get the land rover icons next month i can't wait. :) God bless

I wish lego Technic had better app instructions instead of just pdf lol 👎🏼
I got the bmw from aliexpress for 23$
It won't be genuine Lego Technic
@James-u5v4y and? I saved 180€ by buying the knockoff
:)
Bought this one for 16 bucks
