It’s an ok model although I would have appreciated it having a real Technic engine and not mini-pistons running on cam gears. The scale would have to increase slightly to account for the added width but still doable. Furthermore, the shifting is not smooth like the Ducati and because of the shifter design neither of the foot pegs line up. They did nail the aerodynamic features and the trellis frame well.
