Can a 900SS take it?

I'm thinking of purchasing my first Ducati a 1992 900SS.
I'll service it, warm it up before thrashing it etc. Will it be able to stand up to regular full on caneing. I buy bikes to use rather than polish. I'll often do a whole tank of petrol in one go on my favourite roads pushing nearly as hard as when I'm on a track day.
I know it's not as fast as some of the other bikes I've had/have (R6, ZX12R, etc) but I will want to sample what it really can do. Suzuki's are the only bikes I've really had reliabilty issues with in the past and the occasional Yamaha has let go.
If these bikes are for pose value only can you advise which Dukes are upto the type of riding I'm likley to do.
A couple of mates have destroyed 748's and 996's but they don't give machinery any respect and are total abusers. In fact the only bikes that seem to hold together with them are Fireblades, Bandit 1200's and ZX7's.
So can the 900 take 30minute plus track abuse and wheelies if it has too?
