LEGO Technic 42159 Yamaha MT 2022 rumoured for June 2023

An updated list of LEGO Technic rumours suggests that the first Yamaha set could be on the way later in 2023 alongside a wide range of vehicles. According to the Polish LEGO fan site Fanklockow, the previously rumoured LEGO Technic 2023 sets may have had more details reported, including the vehicle behind 42159. It’s rumoured that 42159 will be a Yamaha MT 2022 coming in June 2023 for $250 with 1,475 pieces. Yamaha has yet to receive a LEGO set of any kind so this could be the start of a new partnership should the report be accurate.

There are multiple models in the 2022 range of the Yamaha MT but the site claims that it could be black and turqouise, a colour scheme used in the Yamaha MT-10 for 2022. The reported price and piece count suggests that there may be more to this model to better reflect the cost. This could be electronic elements or larger pieces, but nothing is rumoured regarding this at the time of writing. Here is every LEGO Technic set rumoured for later in 2023, note that the below information has not been officially confirmed by the LEGO Group and should be taken with caution.
