I bought an 900SP about two years ago, previously had a Kawasaki ZRX1100 (in green, of course).
I'm 6' and need to loose weight (!) but the bike is is great to ride, superb handling and brakes and wants to be on roads with bends. Riding on the freeway or town is not fun.
We rode up to Lake Diablo on Saturday, 300 miles of fun....

I had the timing belts and carb tune done at Seattle Ducati last year and have had no problems. The Michelins that came with the bike are just about to be replaced, lasted about 6,000 miles. I just keep changing the oil and filter.

The only down side is the less than wonderful fuel economy, keeping an eye for gas stations is essential.
