To clarify, this is a bad review cause I'm no Technic Expert and have zero knowledge about motorcycles! 😂
It's NOT a BAD set and Sam the designer, great friend of mine and did an amazing job!
Don't worry Tiago about not being a fan of Technique, we are in the same page.
It’s amazing what FREE LEGO will inspire you to do😁
I have exactly the same problem with modern technic sets as you. I miss the "system" technic parts, they were easier to understand for me.
I agree about Technic, i liked the old studded system but the current system is not my thing. Although it is far more realistic and sturdy than the old system.
Thank you for your sacrifice. It will not be forgotten.
I wish Lego would make me "suffer" with free Technic sets, lol
Same 😂
1:1. 15$
We are very proud of you Tiago, you survived! 😂 I'm sure you got the bug now and secretly planning your next Technic build... Maybe I should follow your path and star reviewing Harry Potter? 😆
It will be less painful for sure! And easier to take apart :P Careful! You might make the switch to System! xD
@@TiagoCatarino I do enjoy building with System bricks, mostly 18+ sets. The Creator Expert cars designed by Mike are absolutely brilliant and the build is very enjoyable, sometimes they have more functions than a few Technic sets... I even build Superhero and City occasionally, there're simply themes that don't motivate me at all, like Harry Potter 😜
Technic is more interesting for me as I enjoy the sturdy structure, things "work" there, I'm not brick building a statue (khm well there are exceptions 😂). I enjoy gears, mechanisms, stuff with function and playability beyond storytelling & minifigs 🙃
What didn’t anyone reply expect for Tiago
Why did you dis-assemble the bugati
Regular lego stand on shelves, collecting dust.
With technic you can play and have fun, plus learn a lot on the way.
But that only me, each one should do what he like and make him happy.
I personally prefer technic to traditional lego! I'm happy picking up any technic set no matter what it looks like because the builds are so enjoyable to me. I'm a scientist and it really scratches the itch I have to build and take stuff apart to figure out how it works
Every since I got my first technic set I love the build process, now I need more unfortunately they are expensive but worth the price!
@@yoshiinasuit8160 I've found technic sets are a better deal anyways! You get more pieces and it takes longer to build usually
same
Having grown up with bionicle and technic I actually find modern technic sets a lot easier to disassemble. There's something about the pins or maybe the liftarms now that just feels a lot smoother as they attach, detach and rotate, though it comes at the sacrifice of clutch power.
I remember having an absolute nightmare trying to disassemble the "Robot" technic set (8852) from 1987 after it was gifted to me used so I think that there has been a trend towards softer pins in technic sets.
That said I think my hands have callused well from all the technic-ing to the point that I don't really register it anymore.
If you ever need someone to disassemble your technic sets I would be happy to oblige 😜
W...why....
Technic can be disassembled easily. Just use the rods to push pins and stuff out.
Also, you don't have to build a 2000 piece set in a few hours and spare your fingers.
Already did that with the Ferrari set I regret buying
@@extremebeastreaction6245 you bought a whole fucking ferrari and you regret it?
What I love about lego is there is something for everyone. I love Lego Technic the more mechanism it has, the better. This would be a set for me, it looks great and since I'm not driving a motocycle anymore it would be nice to at leat have a lego one 😉.
For sure that indeed is the beauty of it!!
Except for the stickers, everything you mentioned, especially the motor and transmission, got me super excited. It's funny, I always figured people that liked building puzzles and things would like to build just about anything. Live and learn
I always skip the stickers on the sets as I don't personally see the point of them. -- They are fidly to attach, can come off easily, and prevent you using the pieces in other builds unless you remove them.
@@msclrhd yeah but without the *80* stickers in this set, the bike will just look bad and not like an original m1000rr at all... Which is a shame because the livery is one of the coolest things about this model
I'm the kinda guy who's into buzzles and figuring out mechanical things, so technic sets are almost always really fun to me to build! That said, they are still absolutely miserable to take apart afterward. . .
@@msclrhd I agree wholeheartedly. For nearly £180, I want printed pieces, not stickers! I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for that.
@@hampelmann5804 tbf, with the stickers it also looks terrible, so without the stickers it wouldn't be that different...
I never got why there was such a divide between technic and system fans especially in the yotutube space. Both systems are incredible and bring their own funcnctionality to the table. Sets with crazy technic interiors and functions but sleek system exteriors are like peak lego enjoyment to me.
Mostly because it doesn't look or feel like lego, and most builds look bad, like this one.. I mean, almost 80 stickers to look bad like that? Ugh, sure. Not to mention it needs some huge pieces like the wheels made just for this set that will probably never be used again.
I agree. I grew up with Technic as a kid so it looks and feels like Lego to me
just a question, why exactly do you disassemble your sets after building them?
I think this is an habit of "old days" LEGO builders, I remember from my childhood, no LEGO set was kept intact for long because sure they were fun, but I could use the parts to build Robotech ships, or Transformers substitutes etc. That was quite true for old Technic sets, because they were not so complex and also had alternative models both in the instructions and on the box to inspire builders. I get it that with such modern Technic sets it doesn't make any sense though :D
...because it's Lego... and you're meant to play with it...
@@paolozago6123 I had Lego architecture sets that I took apart and ninjago sets and some speed champions sets that I destroyed
I love how you nodded straight to Racing Bricks and Sariel at the beginning, credit where credit is due. Your reviews have usually wonderful insights, and giving a shot at a technic set is probably a nice experience, so no pressure, and thanks for your great work :)
Exactly, this is completely out of my area of LEGO expertise
All the stuff you list as why you don’t like lego technic are reasons i love it. Really shows how diverse lego fans are
I also miss the old lego technic with studs on the beams, they looked more impressive in my opinion
I also like those ones better - but Lego hasn't made those since every kid wanted a Walkman for Christmas.
Yeah i feel the same, old Technic sets was far better in terms of the building experience, offered a great balance between function with the fun of building using the interlocking features from system pieces, which that experimentation was a lot more fun, you could take things apart without shredding the skin off your fingers. I also do not like how modern Technic sets basically hide all the functions away, while the old ones kept it open for the most part which made the sets far more interesting.
Classic 70/80’s Technic: Function focus
Modern 90/00’s Technic: Form focus
Specialized one-off parts takes away from having to use you imagination the way the Old Technic sets did.
What is awesome about the lego technic set is “for the kids”. I have 3 kids 11 and under and they love lego but the creator line of vehicles will fall apart quickly when played with, the technic line is great because they can be even dropped and not fall apart. I used despise this line until my kids started to play with Lego and then I realized the technic line is the best for them.
My favourite technic sets are typically the sets that aren't technically technic, but underneath standard bricks use technic to create complex mechanisms hidden away. Like the steering on the creator expert vehicles. I wish they did more with that idea, making full sets with lots of functions with a standard-brick "chassis" or outer shell
just curious does the winglet already comes with carbon finishing or we need to put sticker that might provided from the box
I am a Technic (and motorcycle) fan. I haven't build this, but I have built the similarly-sized Ducati Panigale V4R (42107). Presuming that this BMW set is similar to the Ducati, the impressive thing about the shifter is that it is multi-speed. Put the gear lever in the down position, turn the rear wheel, and you can see it is moving the engine's pistons at one speed. Put the gear lever in the up position, turn the wheel, and you see it moving the pistons at another speed (higher gear ratio). Put the gear lever in the middle position, turn the wheel and the engine doesn't move (the gearbox is in neutral). The totally geeky motorcycle thing is neutral is between first and second gear on real motorcycles.
But the Ducati is only 600-ish parts, much less than the BMW, so maybe a less annoying build. It may sense that a BMW set would be so complicated, just like their bikes.
Anyway what I have found to be the most annoying LEGO build was the International Space Station. I hear the colosseum build is pretty bad, but I haven't done it myself.
Also it is fairly easy to add a motor to the display base so the wheels actually turn when you shift.
It’s almost, if not is, twice the of the Ducati. When I completed it it felt like holding a newborn child.
I think it would be cool if system incorporated more technic elements like the old Viking theme. That new lunar base from City has a large technic piece on it and looks fantastic :)
I really appreciate your honesty and the amount of effort you put into your videos just to give us a review!
Thanks for securing me yet another coffee break at work. Really enjoy your videos and the atmosphere you create in them.
Hope to see you back in your former office one day.
Wait, why do you tare apart your sets, what do you do with the pieces, are you getting rid of the 1000RR, if so what are you going to do with it?
How long did it take to build
Too bad the working engine is hidden.
I'm not a big Lego Technic fan either, although I do think this new model looks great, and far better than some of the forthcoming 2022 sets that have recently been revealed by Lego. Still, as someone who is invested in making a Lego City, I do appreciate a lot of the various Technic functions and techniques as something that can be incorporated for elevators and moving doors etc.
I built the Ducati, and I love the finished product...but, I made a small mistake building the gearbox and didn't discover it until a couple of bags later. Trying to figure out the minimum amount of "deconstruction" to fix the issue was excruciating!
I made similar mistake to my land rover. Delightedly, I found people posting videos on UA-cam to guide you how to fix it. Try search if someone posts similar instructions for the Ducati! :)
The L-shape brick? I messed up too.
I messed up too on the gearbox where gear 2 didn't work got annoyed and took the whole bike apart and set it aside for months finally found the motivation to give it another go almost done now
hey im not alone when that happens i have to chill for a bit
My Technic Ferrari was missing an L brick but LEGO mailed it to me
Yomoti - cats walking has been on my playlists recently. cool seeing you use it here!
the 'second stand' is known as a paddock stand for motorcycles, you use it in the real world to adjust the rear wheel, chain and other elements of the rear side of the motorcycle
RIP your inbox with death threats in 3.. 2.. 1..
"I dont like Lego technic because my fingers hurt. That means it's a bad system because it's sturdy, strong, and well-crafted."
It may be a cool follow-up to do an ideas video where you incorporate the new pieces into System MOCs. I'd be interested to see what you can do with that big wheel.
His face in the thumbnail says it all.
While I do love technic sets, the disassembly process is definitely a pain. That's why I prefer buying the medium sized sets instead of the big ones to avoid this painful process
why would you disassemble it ? genuine question
@@linkenparis9562 I need to use the parts for my mocs lol
may i ask why we spend $$$ to dis assemble
Sadly it’s fairly normal nowadays that there are a ton of stickers in technic sets which make a BMW out of a fairly boring motorcycle.
That applies to cars, excavators etc
The printed pieces are only on the premium sets. Technic is actually a bit of a budget line.
@@michaelmenkes8085 even 700€ UCS sets need a ton of stickers
Tiago: Many times you mess up...
Me: Cries in unfinished Lego Crane
Lol, redo when determination inspires you to find what part you messed up on. Then feel like a dork because “how did you mess up on this part? It’s right there!”. 🥴 🤣👍🏼.
You can blame BMW's m division for the stickers.
This has got to be your funniest video yet, 🤣😂! Omgosh you’re such a natural at humour.
Sorry don’t mean to laugh at your miserable building experience but you made it so funny. Thx for the review. Cheers 🍻
Oh thank you! That was all I was hoping for :D
I didn't enjoy my first Technic build, but now I like them. It just takes some practice to get to enjoy building these. If you need to take them apart, use needle-nose pliers, and follow the building instructions in reverse.
I'm working on building this set right now and honestly its amazing. From the size and correctly matching proportions, to the actual three speed transmission and 4cylnder engine, even the build process itself, I'm blown away. The only criticism of it i could have is over the use of seventy stickers, I've never licked having to use stickers in a Lego build.
thank you for the review... now i do not have to buy it since it is not technic any more... how can i explain the mechanism to my kid?
The technic build its insanely amazing and the suspension absolutely amazing too
The old Technic sets - in the days of the 8843 forklift, which I still have - were really fun to build. After my “dark ages”, the first large Technic set I built was the 42096 (Porsche 911 RSR). It was the most boring LEGO building experience ever and it felt like a punishment.
Great review. Glad you did it... Very entertaining.
Me, if I ever get this set new : sticker sheets? Yes, I will keep them for the next owner XD
I just saw the price tag... $230 USD?! For a technic set that is less than 2000 pieces, and I'm going to assume a lot of them are just the little pins and axels that you can get for less than a penny on BrickLink. Good thing I'm not a Technic fan either haha
Also includes massive tires, tons of large panels, a large windshield, and many technic beams that contain more mass than Lego bricks. I don't think the price is unreasonable.
@@nickvang7 just a few years ago for the same price you got the Bucket Wheel Excavator, with double the part count (and over double the mass!) and including Power Functions. And a B-model, something sorely missing from most recent Technic sets. Similar story for the Arocs, quite a few more pieces, with PF and pneumatics for less money. And that was even a licensed set.
Technic has increased in price rather quickly the last few years, that's not just inflation...
I almost exclusively build Technic, and the one thing that I find problematic vs. System is how it's very difficult to create in a small scale and have the model look good. I also never put stickers on my sets and prefer those that don't really need them.
can confirm, my fingers are in pain after building the Chiron
I like technic because I get to see the functions I spent a long time building, actually work, there’s a feeling of accomplishment. Also with technic, whenever I want to take a break from the standard Lego system, there’s always technic sets to build. But I do agree about the finger pain lol
Nice work mate. I feel your pain though as I have built two techic sets now and yes. Both hurt my hands and fingers putting them together lol keep it up your doing an awesome job
How to mildly trigger all technic moc builders in one video ( we all have destroyed fingers by the way)
That seems like a cool video title! 😈
When I build a System set I kind of get into a rhythm and can usually figure out what I'm building without fully looking at the instructions. It's like a meditative frame of mind where my "Lego intuition" takes over. This is absolutely impossible to do with Technic sets.
Right?! Its super stressful :P
Bruh the m logo when turn upside down looks like wii from nintendo
Glad to see you reviewed this Technic set and as always it was truly honest.
Would love to see you review the old Bionicle building system from 2001-2010 and hear your thoughts about it
I’ve always loved technic sets. At a certain point regular Lego sets weren’t as challenging for me, and technic scratched that itch I was looking for.
Have you built the Saturn V? Typewriter? Titanic? Those are good and challenging system builds
@@TiagoCatarino Those sets look amazing. I’d love to build them someday.
@@TiagoCatarino honestly I'd rather build this than the titanic. That looked super repetitive and a bit boring. The final version was very nice though
@@TiagoCatarino I feel like the Typewriter is an unfair example for a Lego system set, its core is almost entirely Technic pieces
I like that LEGO Creator Porsche 911
The hardest Technic sets I've built were the red Super Car from 2011 and the blue/black Race Jet. Some of the instructions left me scratching my head, and I've been playing with the advanced- style sets since I was 6.
I've liked technic since I was 9 as I am a gearhead at heart. What I like about it now it that for the most part, some of the technic sets result in highly playable toys my 3.5 year old can sort of participate in building (he likes the connectors and the panels as much as his brick legos) while its a giant jigsaw puzzle for me, who is still a gearhead. Beware the remote control stunt track racer! Way too fragile. Had to glue it together to make it survive impacts.
My son loves motorcycles so I might get this. It looks like it can survive a pre-schooler.
i think Tiago has not suffered enough time to pull out cat D11 bulldozer
I have a suggestion Tiago. If you hate the Technic system so much and didn't ask for this set to review just make a random draw and donate this set to one of your active subscribers.
The whole point of lego sending him free stuff is so that he can honestly review it and it would be very cheap for the lego company as a for of advertisement
Cool video @TiagoCatarino just to let you know you missed the "M" in the title BMW 1000 RR...So yeah we could tell you're not a motorcycle guy lol!
Why would you disassemble it?
I just finished building it and I gotta agree, it’s quite a shame they hid away the engine and transmission components. At least in the Bugatti you are able to see the engine moving and you can see the transmission shifting if you look very closely. That’s probably my only complaint with the set though. That and having to place down so many stickers lol
Right?! Hope you enjoyed it though!
Really excited when I first saw images of it, but upon closer inspection, the entire BMW aesthetic unfortunately comes from the stickers alone; its just a white motorcycle without them which is a bit disappointing. And as for the engine block, it really doesn't look all that great, the contours are a bit messy due in part to the nature of technic's colourful pins and whatnot but also to the blockiness of the beams. Quite happy to see more 'realistic' motorcycles from Lego though. Kind of prefer a smaller scale, but I also think the size of individual pieces is actually decent at this scale.
Back to the Future Delorean and Optimus Prime look the best to me so far
I agree, I made a mistake in the Landrover gearbox which makes the car not able to move, and I still havn't corrected it. (I bought the set on release)
o my God, Tiago, I feel so understood! It's such a comfort to me, to hear, that even former Lego Designers struggle with technics! I must admit, I LOVE how sturdy these builds are, and I know, one could do amazing builds with Technic... but I just don't get a hang of it. It's so good to know, I'm not the only one!
by the way: I love, that even you're bad reviews are good reviews :D let the fun go on!
Is it minifig scale
I love building technic cause it’s like you never know what your building until it’s done lol
Nah, I don’t like that ahah
as a challenge for myself i now only build 18+ lego technic sets
1:57 RacingBrick already said the word 'massive' a bazillion times in his review! 😂😂😂
Believe me, if you build it you will also say it a few dozen times :D
It is massive indeed!
Yeah… the sticker count is not a regular for Technic sets, but it happens on these fancy licensed vehicles since the companies live to wrap the cars in decorations and sponsors.
I recently started building lego again at age 38 with the Nintendo console. This BMW is my 5th build in 2 months and was really the best experience! I loved Lego Technic as a kid, and still do!
Your fingers hurt for 3 days? Impressive.
I just discovered your channel - love it!!
Welcome aboard!!
Building technic is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle made of razor blades
To be fair, I remember being surprised with how complicated the Ducati Lego set was. I’ve done some of the bigger technic and Lego sets, so when I got the Ducati I didn’t think it would be a challenge. But due to the strange geometry and limited space to fit all the mechanisms, the Ducati was a fairly complex build. I’m guessing this won’t be much different from that lol
If the ducati was to hard. You should switch to playmobil. 😄
@@timleirs4189 that’s a bit unnecessary. I said it was a challenge, not that I couldn’t do it, or even that it was difficult…
@@timleirs4189 Playmobil is 😎
the lever you mentioned does stop the 2 yellow cannister
engine pieces when in neutral
i find a tiny bit of vasoline keeps things moving well
I loved Technic as a kid for a short time. Regular Lego, sprinkled with some Technic pieces for functions, is still my favorite. And as a storyteller more fullfilling. 🤗
😂 enough Technic. Can you please do a series of mini builds for all the modulars...?
Why do you take them apart after building?
No space to display every LEGO set I build
Actually, great review! Maybe not so much about the set, but more so about the system. I am a Technic fan, though more one of the old, brick based days when it indeed was all about function and less about looks. To be fair, I do think this set looks great, and even disregarding the new pieces it would be nearly impossible to build something like this the old way. But too much of it relies on a ridiculous amount stickers (especially considering the very high price), and indeed, when it's done you hardly see anything of the cool mechanisms underneath. And I do very much recognize your complaints about the building experience, with the current system you often hardly have an idea what you're building, everything only comes together when you're finished, it almost feels like magic. Massive respect for the set designers capable of thinking all of this through, but a lot of it feels so counter-intuitive.
That said, nowadays sets actually are a lot easier to take apart than in the old days. Yes, you might need the manual to un-build it. But that's just a slight inconvenience compared to the horrible black pins from the old days. The horror....The horror... 😅
I've never been a MC guy, but when LEGO did the 8860 homage for the Technic 40 years anniversary I had to get all three donor sets and build them first, and I found the motorcycle the most satisfying build (despite an "evil" assembly at the core which requires pliers to disassemble). That led me to get the Ducati, and again I was not disappointed (though I really dislike all the stickers, so those stayed untouched - it looks nice without them too). This new BMW is certainly on my wishlist, but that list is quite crowded, so who knows...
I just saw a piece I haven't seen since M-Tron. That's about 30 years.
I finished this kit last weekend. It was a great build. Pre-painted bricks would be better than stickers. A couple components with half studs fall off easily. Nice looking model overall.
I built that huge orange Porsche a few years ago and found the design intriguing. I also built the heavy haul copter and likewise, so I have a bunch of these sets to do. But I do agree with you, after all that amazing work on the gearing and switches, so detailed, so well thought-out, to just hide it was a disappointment. So I have to explain that, yes, the gearing works and it even works to the almost identical ratio as the production vehicle, but I can't demonstrate.
Yes... but how cost?
It was a great build. It looks great built. It looks great on display. BTW, why do you build them only to turn around and throw them in a bin? Just curious.
Why do u take them apart afterwards?
To save space, to display newer LEGO sets, to use the pieces for my builds!
@@TiagoCatarino ahh ok, see I’m quite new to Lego but I’m in love with it, for Christmas which set would you recommend the police station or the blacksmith because I really like the architecture of the blacksmith but the police-station is also soo good
79 stickers, I must've misheard that, right!??!
I'd love to try a technic set after helping a client build a car. It's just that cars/motors don't appeal to me, at all :/
Are there any technic sets around that aren't a vehicle?
The only annoying thing is if you make a mistake, you have to like take it all apart. With regular legos, it’s easier to take a piece off without removing all the pieces
Whoa. NO DISLIKES. I guess this means Tiago should do NOTHING BUT TECHNIC REVIEWS!
UA-cam: Let’s stop negativity!
Everyone on UA-cam: No one asked.
@@iikpsyt4619 Which is how UA-cam usually operates, so nothing new.
i feel you...taking apart Lego sets...
it is specifically an M1000RR because it's a motorsport trim of the S1000RR
I'm so sorry you had to go through that! (BTW -just finished the gingerbread house. Loved it. )
I recently went shopping for some LEGOs (bought a lovely Star Wars X-Wing and a Spider Man set) and I saw some Technic sets with some amazing models, e.g. the Ghostbusters mobile. I would love to have that but do you really think that Technic is not good?
Technic is amazing for the right people! I just like the "normal" LEGO more :)
What scale is this?!
1:5!
Question: Will you ever review another Lego Technic set?😅
I couldn't imagine taking my Lego apart!!
I completely agree with your feelings: I miss the "old days" where Technic bricks were just LEGO bricks with holes, plus special parts like gears, studs etc. Many Technic pieces moved to the standard LEGO sets to do some nice things (BlackTron vehicle for example). Nowadays Technic is an isolated world, I see no way of using those fancy parts in a traditional LEGO set, I even see it difficult to disassemble something like this to do... what? All Technic sets were fairly simple, they showed the mechanisms and that was part of the fun, new sets with loads of specialized pieces are just a way to build a very complex, very "realistic", very "un-reusable" toy.
Haha. I don't touch normal legos.
I only buy technic sets...
what did that owl ever do to you dawg
We are quite similar! I have trouble understanding the Technic sets properly too.
I am glad there is a youtuber who shares my Lego opinions so I know I can trust your reviews. 👍
