That would save you stripping the fairings off to get the bike outside. Couple of masonary nails and a bit of string and you can have your own wall mounted decorative item.

Could just buy a garage/workshop and move into that.
That Ducati on the wall pic. I'm not sure if it's real. Looking closely at the shadows they are around the rear wheel and right up to the suspension. You can see some around the rear fairing, tank and there are shadows from the screen that runs right up into the coving colour where the shade changes and is subtle so realistic. Now this could have been added in photoshop easily enough but there's something about the shape of the shadow from the screen that just does not ring right and that area looks a bit like it's been cleaned (badly) altered possibly. I could be wrong, but I think it's fake, but it's a good job. Also if you where to hang a bike on a wall like that you would need some serious brackets clamped around/coming of the frame at various places. And would have to have big bolts bolted into something like RSJ's running behind the wall and supported at either end behind joists or something or that wall would be coming down

Don't forget where the light source is in relation to the object. I'd say the shadows are pretty bang on.
I'm sure it'd be fine on a brick wall just have a big old spreader plate on the mount and some big 5/6" bolts, should be fine.
...
Not sure i'd sit there if I put it up though.
Speaking of putting it up.. how'd you get it up there?
