The LEGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure is designed to be as faithful as possible. The characteristic lines of the motorcycle–the so-called flyline–moving handlebars and even an adjustable windshield recreate the original in miniature along withnumeroustechnical details. Enthusiasts will recognise the authentic BMW Telelever front wheel suspensionandthe shaft drive as well as the moving BMW Motorrad 2-cylinder boxer engine, which are set in motion as soon as the motorcycle is moved. Even the black spoke wheels with studded tyres resemble those of the model’s real counterpart. Thanks to the many details, the setis not only realistic but also fun and challenging to build.

The proportions of the R 1200 GS Adventure have been recreated outstandingly well in the LEGO Technic model. We are excited to see how LEGO Design has reproduced so manyvisual and technical details of the R 1200 GS Adventure. The close and creative cooperation between the two design teamswas particularly impressive–it wentbeyond a conventional licensing agreement”, says Alexander Buckan, Head of BMW Motorrad Vehicle Design.

The model is 18 cm high, 33 cm long and 10 cm wide, and an interactive LEGO app is available for the set that features 3D assembly instructions. The LEGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure also has a surprise in storefor collectors:the LEGO Group celebrates 40 years of LEGO Technic next year and to mark the occasion, the kit will contain a specially designed LEGO Technic piece.
