I have a serious question for you, and I want you to answer it right now: Who doesn't like LEGOs?
They're the perfect gift for kids of all ages, for one thing. OK, maybe not this exact kit, since LEGO says it's only for kids 18 and over, for some reason. But LEGOs in general? Absolutely.
Anyway, this is the new LEGO Technic 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 S, and at the time of writing, it's just become available for preorder via the official LEGO website. Sadly, this means it won't be available before the end of 2024, so anyone looking to gift a physical item for the 2024 holiday season will either have to tell their recipient to please be patient until January 2025, or else wait until some holiday occasion next year.
Assuming that the January 1, 2025 release date for the LEGO 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 S isn't too long to wait, though, enthusiasts should be getting their hands on a heck of a LEGO Technic kit.
Comprising 1,603 pieces, the completed model will have a working front and rear suspension, as well as a three-speed gearbox (plus neutral). A drive chain connects the gearbox, engine, and rear wheel, and while it won't be precisely the same as a full-size Panigale V4 S, it's still pretty freaking awesome to think about.
When completed, the LEGO Ducati Panigale V4 S measures up at over 11.5 inches high, 16.5 inches long, and 5.5 inches wide. It's sure to grab attention wherever you display it, in addition to hopefully being fun to put together, either by yourself or with family or friends.

Know what's really great, though, in these times where inflation is rapidly sucking the joy and fun out of life? It's the least expensive Ducati Panigale V4 S you'll ever find by a country mile.
Sure, it's LEGO, not an exquisite piece of machinery straight from the factory in Bologna. But priced at just US $199.99, you could legit have a fleet of one hundred and sixty-nine (that's 169, and it's not a typo) LEGO Panigale V4 S models for the same cost as the US $33,895 MSRP of a single, ridable Panigale V4 S.
Do you have 168 friends you'd want to give one to? No?
Then save yourself some money, and still get yourself a sweet Panigale V4 S at the same time. It's basic motorcycle math, man.
