The Mystery of the Missing Mirrors on the LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR

- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- LEGO recently revealed the gigantic 1:5 scale Technic replica of the BMW M 1000 RR motorcycle. It has tons of details, but there was one weird missing piece - it has no rear view mirrors. I asked you about it in my previous video, and now I'll try to solve this mystery myself! I also found some cool prototypes in the manual, you can see them at the end of the video ;)

I’ve been riding motorbikes for almost 10 years and love Lego too. When you take a motorbike to the race track you usually have to cover your mirrors with tape or take them off for safety reasons. Only street bikes generally have mirrors. I really don’t mind this Lego model without mirrors and in fact a lot of motorcyclists actually prefer the look.
Considering that the Ducati was released in 2020 and the Beemer is due in 2022, does that mean we may potentially see a Suzuki or Honda in 2024?
I guess it depends on the success of this set. If Lego sees good demand for motorcycle sets I'm sure they'll make more.
I probably doubt it, because it strongly depends who holds the license.
I feel like adding mirrors and a license plate wouldn't be impossible, perhaps some slight rebuilding of the front windhshield area would be needed to mount some small mirrors, and the tail plate shouldn't be too hard. I'm sure someone is/will be working on this.
Lol non-motorcyclists trying to grasp this concept is hilarious to me.
I often ride my motorbike 🏍️ on track (my true one, not a Lego model 😅) and we remove mirrors, always.
As the purpose of this one is to be on track may justify their absence.
Seems like Lego has the bike set up “racetrack ready”. If you were bringing your 1000rr on the track, this is how it’d look at the starting line
M1000RR is a street legal but track focused bike. BMW bikes as far as I know have a racetrack mode. And to engage the racetrack mode you have to remove the mirrors otherwise the bike won't let you turn on this mode. You have to remove mirrors to engage this mode because most of the racetracks won't allow you to go on track with the mirrors installed.
Wait what
Well said Harry, would be nice to have the option. Manufacturers spend a great deal of time blending clunky mirrors into beautiful mudderbikes, some looking rather sharp with ears.
You're a legend of Technic reviews :D
Oh, that's what the prints on the windshield are supposed to represent! I was wondering.
As you said, it absolutely should have been mentioned in the instructions why the mirrors and license plate holder are missing, and it also wasn't a good idea to have most of the photos of the real thing WITH those features. They really shoulda chosen other pictures.
Its a great day to wake up to a racing brick video!
Thanks for the love to Lego and the sharing about the details. Good job!
Good morning! I really appreciate your attentions in details! Have a nice day!
As a bike fan, I prefer it without them, it's clearly a race bike first and a street bike second, and with the semi-slick tires it evokes the style of a Superstock class bike, which are like the Superbikes you in SBK or BSB, but are much closer to showroom stock, with limited modifications and semi-slick tires as opposed to the full slicks. It still would have been nice to include the mirrors and plates for those who wanted them, but personally I wouldn't have installed them anyway.

Picture with a rider on a race track is a commercial photo. In motorcycle sport such as Motogp, rear windows are illegal and even dangerous to use, so lego made a racing model
I didn’t
Cool. Thanks for the research and the mistery solving. Top notch content as always.
While it is a trivial issue in the current world situation, as a model collector (and occasional builder) I have to admit missing mirrors is a rather huge mistake on the design part. In fact, this replica, if it was blown up into real-world scale, would be illegal on the streets :)
Good thing it's not a road bike
It *is* totally a road bike

köszi szépen Balász :)
That's some research, bro! 🤔😊...also waiting for your take on the upcoming March 2022 Technic leaks too... 🙏🏼☺️👍🏼
Don't want to disappoint you but I don't cover leaks :) Once they become official I will of course share every detail ;)
LAN members can't cover leaks, they can only speak about rumours as a way to overcome this ban.
@Brick Templar or they can also *choose* to ignore leaks simply because they don't want to cover them ;)
@@RacingBrick Oh Thanks a lot for reminding me, bro! 🙏🏼...I forgot about it for a moment 🤦🏻♂️
I rode a motorcyle without mirrors or turn signals my whole life. they are a legal issue for newer motorcycles in my country but if I have to chose I don't put them on. it brings a motorcycle down.
The prototype has white wheels too
the most common colore for powder 3d printing, it's just a prototype part
Cool
The R1200GS has also no mirrors and even no turn signals is that also because of use on a race track? i have a R1250 hp gs from a brand that looks like lego and it has mirrors turn signals an even crash bars
Useful information. Thanks.
Of course it doesn’t have mirrors, it’s a race bike. Even if it came with mirrors I’d choose not to build them
Hey racing brick are you going to review the pullback monster trucks before January
I'm not sure, I have no news about them. I will review them as soon as I can buy them around here.
What is the smaller orange vehicle on the shelf behind and above your left shoulder
it’s not that deep… it’s a race bike which mostly intended to bring to the track, which you can’t have mirrors or lights when racing at the track
Track bikes dont have mirrors. Most sport bike enthusiasts dont like the way mirrors look and we often take the off in favor of more sleek handlebar mounted mirrors. Lego made the right choice here leaving the mirrors of the display piece. That's how BMW would display their track bikes.
nice vid racing brick
For the prototype one the left side it was using the stand from the Ducati
RR = Racing Replica
These are not actual factory racers, they just look like one.
This is a bit of a misnomer as the purpose built factory race bikes used in the World Superbike Championship are stilled labelled "RR." I think in this case the word "replica" is just being used as a synonym for "model."
Nice video
Hi, well for street use it would need a side stand as a minimum and ideally a centre stand or punctures could be a bit tricky. Centre stands can be left out to save weight but they do help take static loads off the rear tyre when the bike is not in use. Maybe someone knows the details for this machine, I'm a tad too old to ride something like this now!
RR is the track version
42139 and 42140 were leaked this morning
Where 42140?
@@pablesm ruclips.net/video/RJzmH3xkJqw/видео.html Here. Skip to the Technic part
Oh god, just noticed them missing... Unbuildable lol
You did a nice detailed review on the bike
Do the wheels of the lego 42124 fit on the lego 42125?
It fits but looks very weird
The Ducati doesn’t have mirrors. Neither does the technic sport motorcycle. I don’t really mind, to look realistic they would be too fragile anyway.
Sariel already has silver rims in his videos, and they seem to be moulded and not sprayed afterwards... so I hope for silver rims at least.. :)
I don't want to disappoint you but those are the exact same rims with different lighting conditions...
You are my favorite RUclipsr
Plus mirrors would look like crap!!!
Looks better without the mirrors
Another pointer to its track orientation is the very small lock to lock steering angle, which comes with a track setup. I failed to reset to street mode after a track day once, with disastrous consequences on the first roundabout I encountered on the ride home!!
pls shopw the new ning part from the lego ucs at at ( its useb in the legs tor the bottom
I would love to but I don't have that set
@@RacingBrick oh ok do you know the Number of that part?
@@the_austrian_brick no, but the instructions are available for the set at lego.com, you can check the inventory yourself
Hi
This is not the BMW bike the first BMW is 2017 advensher was the first 🏍🛵
👍
Lego models lacked accuracy more than once even when it was possible. So my guess is that they just forgot about the mirrors or just saved the parts.
Who cares, mirrors and plate holders are ugly on super-bikes anyway! I would have thought it was obvious that those are only for use on the road, indicators etc.. thus why they didn't include or why stop there might as well ask for helmet too? lol. So glad they didn't go there.
Do you smoke?
Nope, why would I?
