Yahoo Autos Lego Yamaha MT-10 SP motorcycle model kit comes with working pedal-activated transmission
Lego has released a new large-scale Technic set for recreating a Yamaha MT-10 SP motorcycle. Though impressive in its size and scale, the real party trick isn't visible once the bike is finished. It's a working transmission that's pedal activated, just like on a real motorcycle.
The Yamaha MT-10 SP is the Japanese bike maker's flagship naked streetfighter. Powered by a crossplane 998cc inline-four with 164 horsepower and an absolutely wicked exhaust note, it begs to be revved to its 11,500 rpm redline. Though there are minor tuning differences, you can think of it as an YZF-R1 without the fairings and one of the most aggressive hyper nakeds on the market when it debuted in 2016.
These days, two-wheelers have just as may electronic features as cars, and the the 2022 update of the MT-10 added a six-axis inertial measurement unit, which allows for rider aids such as lean-sensitive traction control and ABS, slide control, wheel lift control, cruise control and more.
