I took apart the very small number of LEGO sets that are in my apartment today and built this thing.
The pilot and his speeder.
Is LL6L related to LL Cool J?
From above.
From the front.
The back.
Top and side.

Holy crap, Blitzen posted Lego.
I like it. It looks a bit like a racing speeder with the bright red and stickers.

Shaping's good apart from the front at certain angles - going from curved to flat like that feels a little abrupt.

Would this qualify as a Cave Racer?

According to
this picture, no. Definitely not.
I'm missing all the essential greebly bits. Also, other than the handlebar piece itself, the method of minifig attachment is very different.
The minifig in there is actually standing on a hinged part of the speeder and the handlebars are attached to it via droid arm thing. Here's what that section looks like without the left wing.

I love this thing. Was I the only one who immediately thought of the Ghost from Halo when I saw this?

Way too cool to be a ghost.

Ghosts have a generally round, more elegant shape. This is angular and fast-looking.

This is why I thought of the ghost:

Okay so I made this basically right after the first one, but I wasn't happy with it. I changed a bit since then and I think I'm happy enough to post. I also spent a little more time with the photos on this one so I hope you enjoy that.
This one has a much longer front section.
The profile is a little different.
I only have two black lightsaber hilts so I guess I should have moved them over. These things are the worst and I need to improve this back bit.

The front reminds me of a dirt devil.

Thats the Dirt Devil Interceptor with reactive armor, supercharger, and automated targeting systems!
A piece of history...Woulda' been a shame to blow it up.
