BMW R 1200 GS Adventure LEGO Model Unveiled

Toymaker LEGO has unveiled a LEGO Technic model of the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure motorcycle. The Technic roadster will have 603 pieces and stands 18cm high, 33cm long and 10cm wide.

The LEGO model follows the characteristic lines of the BMW R 1200 GS - moving handlebars and even an adjustable windshield recreate the original in miniature along with numerous technical details like the Telelver front suspension, rear wheel shaft drive and moving boxer-twin engine.

"BMW Motorrad is very pleased to be able to share the enthusiasm for this bike with the LEGO Technic community. Two companies came together, both of them with a longstanding tradition to make emotional products for their customers," said Heiner Faust, Head of Sales and Marketing of BMW Motorrad.

The model has been jointly developed by BMW Motorrad and LEGO, and will go on sale from 1 January 2017. There's still no word on prices.

"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 many visual and technical details of the R 1200 GS Adventure. The close and creative cooperation between the two design teams was particularly impressive - it went beyond a conventional licensing agreement," said Alexander Buckan, Head of BMW Motorrad Vehicle Design.

In addition to usual assembly instructions of the Technic model, Lego also offers an interactive app that features 3D assembly instructions.
