Ducati R/C Motorcycle with Leaning Rider
April 1st, 2009 by admin
This 1:12 scale Ducati R/C motorcycle from ThinkGeek “features fully proportional digital control with working suspension and an animated rider that turns his head and leans into each turn.” Available now, priced at $59.99.
Not simply cosmetic, the weight of the rider actually causes the bike to lean and go into a turn. It’s great stuff and looks awesome zipping across your office parking lot.
