i think you have to put it in perspective. There will always be issues with bikes, no matter what make. Ducatis are always highlighted as having problems and being troublesome, but as has been said here once set up right they run great.

Go and buy one you will love it

Yeah Lil, i understand that and it's natural that some bikes (but in a small number) have issues, but when it's something a lot of the same bikes have then it's a serious issue.

The bikes i had so far were all problem free (even my Italian Mille R never gave me a problem).
My current 04 R1 only had a small clutch issue that was fixed with the first oil change.

As for the Duc............ i'm sure i'll love it as long as she doesn't have to spend a lot of time in the garage...
