buy a used SV650 and ride it for a year. then move on to something sexier.

Not everyone wrecks their first bike. I've never dropped a road bike. But it
is very easy to make a minor mistake, even moving it around in your driveway, and end up with a chewed up bike. Do you really want to do that on a brand new bike? No.
I would recommend the exact motorcycle varmint stated. SV650. Excellent starter bike that has enough power to put a smile on your face. They are plentiful and cheap in the market place.
If you really, really want a Ducati, find a 2000-2004 FI Monster. Avoid plastic tank (2005-2008) Monsters like the plague.
I'm not qualified to recommend a BMW.
