Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Looks like it would beat anything else of that size into the weeds, on looks alone.

Yep, that's pretty cool for a first bike, better than the C50 I started on for sure... If it encourages them to graduate up to a Monster what's not to like...? not sure how long good the build quality would be at @£1k brand new but I can see it appealing to the yoofs...

Heresy for sure. I'm surprised that all the black plastic isn't fake carbon though!

Doesn't that break copywrite or intellectual property laws or something? Surely that's a fraud Ducati ?

Why not? if a Panigale engine fits in an MSX;

I know nothing about the company or where the name on the tank comes from but it seems a bit cheeky that there is no suggestion of "Ducati" in the name, and yet it strongly suggests various Japanese brands.

They've been doing similar with the MSX for years. Copyright is not a big deal where the kits are made
