42130 - BMW M1000RR K66

[Gray Gear]

Oh yeah, I will gladly pay more than 10 cents per piece knowing half the pieces are just pins that cost basically nothing 

What I think is kinda weird is that they didn't even use the new tapered panels introduced in the Porsche pullback car. Those bricks looked like they were made for bikes...

there are a few photos already on instagram.

we can see it has a stand a bit similar to the ducati's

I’m no bike person, but it does look really cool imo. Won’t buy it though.

Those shock absorbers.....

[R0Sch]

Without the stickers it looks hideous just like the 488 did. https://www.techlug.fr/review-lego-technic/42130/moto-bmw-m-1000-rr-42130-samuel-tacchi-2022

Oh yeah, you definitely need to make it solid white if you’re leaving the stickers off. 
 

Those shock absorbers look really nice though! Love the little one especially.

[TeamThrifty]

Thats not bad in fairness. I love the forks and rear shock. Front mudguard isn't great... but overall, especially without the fairing on, its pretty good. As a bike owner its easy to be overly critical, but i suspect bulldozer owners feel the same about other sets! It deserves a thumbs up - the bike community has been under represented with sets, these wheels suggest we'll get more of these which can only be a positive.

I wonder about that rear shock absorber, how powerful is it? More than the 6.5L extra hard shocks would be awesome, but probably not.

According to Sariel it's harder than the standard 6.5L shock absorbers.

Looks fantastic. Anyone know the stud dimensions of the space inside the new tyres?

The rim is approximately 113 millimeters in diameter, which translates to about 9 studs.

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks also to @Zerobricks for the clarification. :)

14 studs, not 9.

Ehm, oops, you're right.

 I wonder if one per wheel would be enough to support a 1:8 car.

How long is that shock absorber?

Honestly, I’m impressed! Lots of new parts, I will definitely buy many of those smaller shock absorbers. I’m surprised the new curved panel isn’t in this set.

[Zerobricks]

I hope to see the new rear shock absorber in the upcoming supercars, they usually have problems with suspension being too soft. I think this is a great set to start the new 1:5 ?superbikes? lineup and I will be buying one for sure.

One shock per wheel could be enough with the right geometry, even with the old 6.5L shock. That said I am hoping to see these new ones in some supercars in the coming year(s).

It's 9 studs long with 1.5 studs of travel.

Yes. It is.  Per @Sariel's review..
