Matthew, nice to hear, I have been going down a similiar road....I have had Ducatis as well, 999,996, ST2 ST4 and Monster. sold all went from long distance road traveling,to just track days to 0.
so then bought a 911 C4 Cabrolet which is great, but in Toronto the roads are quite uninteresting, as in traffic and straight.
and soooo now bought a 2007 Mog Roadster, which drove for 20 minutes and is now waiting for me in Paris for sometime when I go back in Feb, which I will then keep and use in the south of France where the roads are truly great, and I expect this will provide what you seem to have also discovered, . a bike replacement tonic!!
