In reply to Adrian M. Apparently he likes it so much has 4 (or more) of them all over his/her/zi/zer/zems designer loft. Or he is one of the infamous Lego hijacking ring leaders.

In reply to Anonymous. It would have to be either gigantic or made with micro sized bricks.

In reply to Nicko55. But just look at that Regina! It's maintenance-free yo!

In reply to Fivespeed302. I detect facetiousness

I’d like to say it captures the essence of the real bike, but it really doesn’t. Looks clunky as hell.

Andrew Garfield plays with LEGOS?

This thing is amazing, I have a few lego sets that have set me back this much or slightly less.

It is a lot more detailed than the Panigale V4 I have in my office and even a bit more intricate than the Ferrari F40.

In reply to Anonymous. I was talking about the GS, so "brick" seemed like the appropriate word.

That Lego Ducati went on sale pretty much as soon as it was introduced. Not a huge discount, but ……. I didn’t bite.

I can’t think of a single person that would fork over the money to have a polished concrete living room and then display a Lego toy in it. Now, a Bimota or even a classic MV racer would make more sense. Hell even an NR 750, but not a Lego, sorry. They should’ve included an open pizza box , a medium bong and a helmet on the coffee table, also a PlayStation with a huge flat-screen on the wall, that would’ve bought them a little more credibility.

Looks nothing like the real thing, yet much better than the Panigale V4R set. I think the only bike set that was decent was the R GS one. The lines of that bike translate well to Lego bricks.

They’re probably going to sell about as many of these sets as they sold of the HP4 Race.

I keep saying that race bikes are getting ever smaller….
1. It looks a bit ‘plasticy’ and unfinished…. just like the real one ;-)
2. Is the chain advertised as ‘maintenance free’ or has that been amended already?
3. As the HP4… possibly too late to market
