I have to say that I am struggling a bit. I love Ducatis without a doubt but I really don't like the shape of the 999... until it's in race trim when I think it looks stunning, i guess it must be the mirrors
But as said above the hit on buying new is too much to take, it's hard enough on a second hand bike, but i can't face it on a new one.
I had almost decided I was going to bite the bullet and buy a 999r until some daft bugger went and crashed it

and now I am back to considering something that I don't have to pay much attention to and the servicing is cheap and easy
