LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR 42130 Motorcycle Model Kit for Adults, Build and Display Motorcycle Set with Motorcycle Gift Idea

I am a 72 year old woman,and I did'nt think that I would be able to do this one as I am going a bit gaga.It did my brain in a bit but it was challenging.I did find some of the parts awkward to put together,but it is a lovely model,I did'nt chance putting it on the stand incase it fell off as it is rather large.

This is without doubt a great but challenging build and not for a first time builder in my opinion. This is a big kit but some aspects are incredibly fiddly - however stick with it, be patient as the end result is fantastic! The detail is very high and one can only imagine what the real bike is like - a true monster I'm sure! If I am being critical of this kit it is the amount of stickers/decals that need to be applied - some of which are across many individual pieces (like the fairing/bodywork) and to get these all to line up across all the pieces is a challenge so take your time there as the end result is critical. Yes the gearbox is not true to form as others have mentioned (real life bikes are usually one down and five/six up) but hey this is a model and the complexity of doing this probably outweighs the real requirement. I can't wait to see what big bike will be next - perhaps the Honda Fireblade or another Ducati - fingers crossed for something soon.
