There are thousands of Ducatis all over the country which sit there for 6 months over the winter, so I wouldn't have any concerns beyond the ones you've identified - as you say, battery, belts, hit button. (People talk about fuel degradation but I'm a sceptic: I do drop some fuel stabiliser in mine at the start of winter but it seems to me that flushing tanks and refilling them just cos the fuel is a few months old is pointless, and what people sometimes think is a 'stale fuel' problem is invariably something else.)
