What is it?

An affordable, pint-sized, plastic version of the Ducati Panigale superbike.

Does it do anything?

Yes. Because this is Lego Technic, it’s a nice functional model.
There’s a basic gearbox with 2 gears plus neutral, a chain drive, and proper suspension.

Is it hard to build?

It’s around 600 pieces and has some fairly intricate mechanical parts, as well as lots of stickers for the body panels.

I’d say a fiddly 3-4 hours in total, but I spread it out over a few weeks.

Chain

I found the chain was far too slack when using all the links as recommended in the instructions - but removing just one looks far better on the bike.

Anything else?

It’s a lovely detailed build and you get some mechanical interaction more worthy of bigger sets.

It amused me to see two red swords in the parts list when I started the build. Suffice to say this wasn’t a mistake, and the Lego engineers can be very clever at re-using components from unrelated sets!

Genius component re-use

There are nice touches like the brake master cylinders and instrument display too.

Cockpit

The scale isn’t quite the same as other Lego bikes like the 42063 BMW R 1200 GS but they are very close and look nice together. I’ll need to pick up the Harley Davidson to go with them…
