Which Ducati for an old guy?

Always wanted an Italian Harley and might have room to squeeze one in the garage soon......Sold a few bikes in the past year, thinned the herd from 22 down to 13.

It would just be a toy, so 8 to 10 yrs old would be OK. I like the sound and want the torque......

Love the looks, but too old for a riding position like the 900 SS. I want weather protection, maybe luggage, and a sport touring riding position.

Had long considered a ST4s, but recently heard it's not that comfortable for a long day in the saddle?

Snooping on bikes for sale on the ADV site, and there are currently 3, 2004 Multistrada 100DS like this one:

ADVrider

Looks like it could be right up my alley. I know service can be more of a headache on some models than others.....I'm OK with changing timing belts and guess I could learn about desmo valve adjusts.....

There seems like some knowledgeable Ducati guys here. I'm open to and advice on the ST4s and Multistrada engine? Thax...
