Hot on the heels of the 2022 Technic set announcements, the LEGO® Group added one more to the list. Today, we can reveal the Technic BMW M 1000 RR. This sleek, 1:5 scale motorcycle hits LEGO® Store shelves on January 1, 2022. Other retailers will sell it starting March 1. Following the Ducati Panigale, this model is sure to please motorcycle fans with its design and accuracy.
The official press release offers the following description:
The LEGO® Technic BMW M 1000 RR has several key features recreated in brick, making it technically accurate but also aesthetically stunning. These include a new and fully functional three-speed gearbox, front and rear suspension, front steering, a gold chain, three different screen dashboard options and a printed windshield. Designed for pure enjoyment, the set also comes with a racing stand and display plate.
In terms of set specifics, expect the following:
- NAME: BMW M 1000 RR
- SET #: 42130
- THEME: Technic
- COST: $299.99 CAD
- BRICK COUNT: 1920
- MINIFIGURES: None
- RELEASE DATE: January 1, 2022

The model seems well detailed, and large. Without the display stand, it measures 27.7 cm high, by 45,5 cm long, by 17cm wide. Incidentally, that makes it the largest Technic motorcycle ever produced.
