As far as affordability, it's an Italian super bike; plan to spend 2x as much maint as you would for a CBR/RR. High insurance, too and not designed with distance, comfort cruising in mind. Corse edition with termignoni pipes... Winning!

So would you consider yourself a "Ducatisti" purist rider and only desiring a dry clutch on your Duc's? I watched a special and a lot of hardcore Ducati guys do NOT get down with a wet clutch.
I appreciate the pure machismo sound of a dry clutch, and the raw feel of one, but if I owned a Duc, for riding comfort I'd definitely not mind owning one with a wet clutch.
Now forget about the superbikes, just saw photos of the "Il Mostro" 1200S, now THAT is one hell of a bike
