He shares his general frustrations with LEGO Technic sets, including painful disassembly and a lack of visual reward during building, while acknowledging the impressive size and design of the final model. ### Key Points - **Reluctant Reviewer** [00:00] — Tiago admits he is not a LEGO Technic expert and warns viewers seeking in-depth reviews to check other channels. - **Past Trauma with Technic** [00:27] — He had a painful experience disassembling the Bugatti Chiron, causing finger pain for three days, leading him to avoid Technic sets. - **Viewer Vote** [01:33] — 63% of viewers voted for Tiago to review the set, despite his reluctance, leading to this video. - **Massive Scale** [01:50] — The BMW 1000RR is the biggest LEGO motorcycle ever, with nearly 2000 pieces, huge tires, and a new shock absorber element to support its weight over 1 kg. - **Impressive Final Model** [02:27] — The built model looks impressive with suspension on both wheels, new shock absorbers, brick-built brake details, and a pearl gold chain. - **Excessive Stickers** [02:40] — The set includes 79 stickers, which Tiago felt was too many. - **Hidden Mechanisms** [03:31] — Tiago misses the old Technic style where mechanisms were visible; in this set, the engine and shifting gears are hidden after building. - **Personal Enjoyment** [04:08] — Tiago did not enjoy the building process and dreads disassembling it, but acknowledges the designer did an excellent job. ### Conclusion Tiago concludes that while the BMW 1000RR is an impressive LEGO Technic set, the building experience was not enjoyable for him, and he plans to avoid Technic sets for a few more years. ## Transcript So this is going to be a very awkward LEGO review and for those of you looking for a super in-depth review of this model you should probably check these guys channels as they are the LEGO Technic experts and should sooner or later get their hands on this model as well. I'll talk about the model sure but I'll also talk about my issues with LEGO Technic in general and what I feel about the system. If you don't care about any of that you can totally skip this part of the video. Now, LEGO reached out to me a few weeks ago saying, Tiago do you want a LEGO Technic set, I immediately archived the message never to look at it again. A few years ago I had a very painful experience with disassembling the Bugatti Chiron, my fingers hurt for 3 days and I decided that I was never touching LEGO Technic sets ever again. I usually end up disassembling all my LEGO sets at some point in time and to do that with LEGO Technic sets you almost need an instruction manual for disassembling them because they're so sturdy and locked so tightly nowadays. Not a great experience and usually very painful as well. I also do not understand the system, at all. It's It's kinda fun to see the functions working in the end, if everything goes well of course, but most of the time when building Technic I looking at a weird shaped creature that makes no sense at all to me it isn as fulfilling as a regular LEGO system building experience I do like making videos however and maybe this offer by LEGO could prove to be a great opportunity to make an interesting and different video though I didn't really want to do it. To help me decide I asked you guys a few weeks ago if you would ever want to see me review a LEGO Technic set, to which 37% of you were supportive and said no, stay with normal LEGO, thank you guys. And then 63% of you voted yes, Tiago must suffer. Gee, thanks guys. And here we are. The offer by LEGO was very vague, it said motorcycle and I thought to myself, how hard can it be, right? LEGO motorcycles are usually fairly sized. To my surprise the BMW 1000RR they sent, it is the biggest LEGO motorcycle in history with almost 2000 pieces. Great! To give you a sense of scale, here's one of the newest motorcycles from LEGO City and here's the BMW. It's massive! The tires alone new to this set are probably the biggest tire elements LEGO has ever made, they even had to do a new shock absorber element to be able to handle the bike's weight at over 1 kilo. Now I gotta be honest, when looking at the tires I was actually excited about starting building it because I really wanted to see how big this thing would be in the end Another thing to note is that my knowledge about motorcycles can be summed up in this video clip Exactly So to the best of my abilities I just describing what I seeing When built the model really looks impressive, so for bike fans and fans of the theme this will be a welcome addition to their collections. This set comes with two different stands which is surprising though the yellow one actually served as a support throughout most of the build. Most of the color details you see are stickers, 79 in total which felt way too much. Since I haven't built LEGO Technic sets in years I'm not sure this is standard nowadays but I still felt it a bit excessive. The motorcycle has suspension on both wheels with both of the shock absorbers being to my knowledge brand new elements. The rear tire is wider than the front one and there's some brick built details over here for the brakes. I also like how these hose elements come from down here up to the handlebars. For the dashboard there's 3 alternate pieces displaying different information and as you might have guessed, the windscreen is also a brand new element. The motorcycle chain is in the pearl gold color connected to the engine inside and over on the other side we can see some of the brick built details the model has to offer though I find it funny the increasing amount of system elements LEGO Technic sets start to include nowadays The designs on Technic sets are getting more and more refined over the years, but I kinda miss the old days of the Technic bricks with studs and exposed mechanisms. With this model there's a considerable amount of time spent building the engine and the shifting gears mechanisms but after you've built the whole thing everything is hidden away forever. And even though you press here up and down on the shift gear mechanism you know things are moving inside, you just don't see it, which I feel it's a shame. I'm clearly not the target audience for this model but no matter how you look at it, it is a seriously impressive LEGO Technic set. I can speak to the mechanics of the thing but the sheer size and the overall shapes are outstanding. And with my limited knowledge on the theme I can say for sure that the designer did an excellent job. Have I personally enjoyed the building experience? Not at all. Admittedly I was excited to finish it just to get a real sense of the size of the model, but the process wasn't for me and I don't even want to think about the time I will have to force myself into taking it apart as I eventually do with all my LEGO sets. Hope it was worth it guys, I'm done with LEGO Technic for a few more years. Maybe.
