Should definitely have high pipes. I think it's a bit of a rare styling miss for Ducati. Unusual, especially as their previous attempts at retro have been so well formed. They've aimed somewhere in between flat track and desert sled and missed both. That said, it could be improved a lot with minor tweaks and should be a lot more fun to ride than the Triumph scrambler.
That Kwak is a engineering willy waving exercise the likes we haven't seen since the NR750. If the supercharger works, the implications for a new generation of sports lightweighs is immense. It's so cool that they've built it.

Incredible specs and it looks lethal. Not a bike I have any need for, but it does inspire the odd pipe dream. I wonder if they'll ever run one at the IOM TT. The NR750, oval pistons, why did that never catch on!

Not sure why they didn't go for a full rear mudguard with the Ducati, to me that's one of the defining parts of the classic bike look. Overall it looks too modern to be classic for my taste. Surely high side pipes would have suited a scrambler look better too.
