It probably comes as no surprise that our LEGO® designers love nothing more than a challenge. Whether it’s striving to make sets bigger or more realistic, they love to push the idea of what a LEGO set can be.
So, when we decided to create a new LEGO Technic™ set based on the Yamaha MT-10 SP motorcycle, our designers wanted to push into new ground.
After all, the Yamaha MT-10 SP is a ground-breaking motorcycle. A flagship bike in the MT series that’s known for its attitude, its agility and its Hyper Naked styling.
To honor this exceptional motorcycle, we wanted to create a set with a more detailed engine and one of the most technically complicated gearboxes we’ve ever built.
This was a challenge that designer Lars Thygesen, a motorcycle enthusiast who has worked for the LEGO Group for over 30 years, was eager to meet.

The LEGO Technic Yamaha MT-10 SP set is in 1:5 scale, making it the joint highest-scale LEGO Technic motorcycle we’ve built, along with the LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR set.

The scale and the level of complexity make this set ideal for builders who love to test themselves.
“It’s really challenging,” adds Lars. “All the moving mechanical parts are hidden. When it’s finished, the engine is covered by the outer design, so you can’t see what’s going on inside.”
