The fact that the real bike and the model kit are being talked about almost simultaneously is itself proof that this thing has become culture. LEGO turning Ducati's first motocrosser into a model — you can hold the memory of that red storied brand diving into dirt in the palm of your hand. Savoring the mechanical form while building it, I think, is a real luxury.

These collab model kits kind of feel like limited-edition marketing aimed purely at collectors.

Timing the LEGO release with the actual bike's motocross debut is smart marketing.

The actual Desmo450MX itself isn't that well known yet, so the model kit might end up getting talked about first.

Has Ducati really never done motocross until now?

Getting to experience Ducati's first motocross bike through a model kit first is a fun idea.

LEGO's Ducati collabs in the Technic series are always so accurate it makes you want one.

The Technic series builds in working mechanisms and everything, so I bet it's priced accordingly.
