Why are Ducati suddenly building bikes that look like Honda's? First the 1098 looking like a Fartblood and now this looking like a CBR600RR!! OK, they sell more numbers because they're bland like x-factor contestants and therefore appeal to a wider audience but what happened to innovation in design? FWIW i'm aware that they have to sell volume to compete

They're not. This is just a hypothetical design mock-up by a bloke called Oberdan Bezzi, not even an official Ducati design exercise, never mind actually being built.

I agree with Ali though, Ducati have got all these components in the parts bin so it's only a case of Pick 'n Mix. They could build one with almost no development time whatsoever if they wanted.

I'd buy one, especially if it was half-faired
