Looks nice, but the only Ducati parts are the stickers.
The Shimano motor doesn't have a great reputation for reliability either, then again, isn't that what people want from Ducati, a pretty bike that's got a reputation for being unreliable.

Why do motorbike and car manufacturers do this.
The triumph offer was horrible ...
This is just awful ... wouldn’t be seen dead on it ....

BMW and Audi had some forays into MTB - as did Land Rover . I think they consider their core base as stupid ...

It's an attempt to sell something based on brand loyalty rather than whether it's any good, didn't someone on here buy a KTM toaster?

It's in the running for ugliest Ducati ever. Even the 900SS looks better.

It would be slightly better if the battery was the same colour as the downtube and the ridiculous white decal detail was removed.

Agreed, that doesn't look bad at all. Still can't imagine anyone buying one other than to hang from their wall.
