Ducati pros & cons

I'm considering buying a Ducati, but know very little about them, other than anecdotal stories.

I'm looking at one of the single sided swing arm models, mainly for the looks, but have no idea if there are any differences which will affect me.

I do very few miles, bikes spend most of the time parked in the garage, and when I ride it's usually only a few hours at a time.

Currently ride my VFR400 the most, so HP isn't a big issue.
Budget is under $15k, but I'd rather stay around $10K.

Ideally I'd like something that I can park up for a few weeks, then get on and ride with no issues.

My VFR has been excellent, only ever needs tyres, chain, sprockets, and oil changes, but it's getting old, and a bit more power wouldn't go amiss.

I've seen 748's, 991's, 996's, & 1098's, but don't know the pros & cons of each.

Any advice would be helpful

Thanks
