There’s far more R/C cars than motorcycles, so when a new bike is launched there’s reason to celebrate among the fans. Especially when it’s one as cool as the Ducati Desmosedici R/C Bike.

Based on Ducati’s 2007 MotoGP World Championship winning bike, this actually comes with a rider. And it’s not just a puppet - it can move its legs, its head and shift in the seat, and you control its movements. The other features are impressive too: spring suspension, digital proportional steering and speed control, a throttle-rate selector and steering-trim-system.

Since it’s available in two frequencies, that means you can set up races with a friend… and, for beginners, there’s also a skill level switch, just so you don’t get frustrated from the beginning.

It’s available from Firebox for £59.95 (almost $100).
