Welcome Andy!
I look forward to the reviews...
Ducati Uk have just announce extended MTS1200 rides in the UK, that I also look forward to having only had a brief blast of test ride on the original launch.
On a side note, you might like to have a word with Neil Hodgson, a buddy of mine went to a track day at Almeria last year and had a pillion ride around the circuit:
Cheers - Frank
