What you have to remember is that back in the late 70s Cagiva were producing Harley Davidson badged bikes from Harley's old factory in Italy (1978 was the start of Cagivas first foray into bike manufacture) and also using Ducati L-twin engines* in some of their production bikes - so styling a Ducati around a HD flat tracker doesn't seem too unusual to me and it certainly works visually

* Ducati don't officially make V-Twins, they make L-Twins if the factory are to be believed.
