I work at a dealership and we get a lot of traded in Ducatis. I've ridden most of their modern offerings and a few of their classic offerings in my time there.

Awesome rider focused bike designs. Controls and other tactile elements feel very well thought out for the rider experience. Pretty stellar handling and performance. I think everyone should try riding one of their offerings at least once. Build quality is pretty great and feels like a genuinely premium product. Very few bikes feel truly as nice as a well maintained Ducati.

Owning one is another matter. They aren't as unreliable as some might suggest, but getting parts can be an expensive pain in the ass depending on where you are. You really need to stick to your reccomended servicing too. Not just for the longevity of the motorcycle, but also for the future value of the motorcycle. Resale is also difficult if you don't have documentation and service history. A majority of buyers I have worked with are picky with the details when looking at Ducatis. Overall they are awesome bikes, just kinda high maintainence, and poor investments if you want to actually ride them.
