Some service history questions

Looking to get into Ducati ownship (have a wanted ad in the market place).

I've seen a real varied bag of bikes for all sorts of money. A main dealer 3 year old 748 with low mileage, for top money and down to a 916 on a 97 with a spotty history.

Is it true that the belts fray when left ? Apparently even if I find a 00 bike with 3k miles but it hasn't had it's yearly service then it will probably have problems. Does this sound believable ?

Would it be better to get a 00 bike with 15k miles but history over a 00 bike with 3k miles and only first service done ? I suppose the first would leave money in the bank but I also don't want to be living in the workshop on my weekends off.

Thanks for any advice.
