Ducati designed both bikes with similar geometry. Of course it can't be the same because according to MotoGP rules, the bikes can not be similar to any of the company's production bikes. Yamaha found out the hard way when they tried to used a modified R1 motor and some other stuff before the designed the YZR-M1. Ducati designed the new 1200cc bike with the same goal in mind, same geometry, and besides all the race and one-off parts, it's identical. I know people are gonna take this out of context, but some people might get what I mean by that.
