I sold that DVT because i had a terrible dealer experience that tarnished the new bike feel, I won't go into detail but it was horrendous and they even damaged the bike. However I have brought another DVT but this time instead of buying the S-model as before ive gone back to basics, and brought a standard, less to go wrong only difference is no skyhook suspension, no led headlight, no m50 calipers, no colour dash clocks. Skyhook was waisted on me I only ever leave it in one setting and never touch it plus you still have to set the front preload manually, so instead I'll have the stock suspension set up to my weight and for a couple trips a year when I add the panniers I'll just wind some rear pre-load, the led lights are a nice touch but with me adding the OE spots on the stock lights, there actually better then the led lights now, the front brakes on the standard bike are last year multi brakes instead of the M50's and tbh the standard front brakes are still more then good enough, colour dash is nice but so is the standard non colour, i saved £5k going standard !
Both bikes have rider modes, both bikes have cruise and back lighted switch gear and engine power is exactly the same, 1st gear is really long a ducati trait and most owners go up on the rear 2 teeth or down 1 on the front and this mod turns the bike into a rapid beast, the engine is lovely and smooth, low down it rides like a 4 but sounds like a twin ! and when you open it up the howl is addictive and pulls strongly with a lovely tone from the stock exhaust. There was a euro 4 fuelling issue with a serious flat spot between 4-6k however ducati have released an updated fuel map to rectify this but it's only effective if you have the stock exhaust, I had the full termi and has the race upmap and mine suffered with the euro 4 flat spot but ducati cannot update the upmap however changing the gearing allows you to ride through the flat spot. The termi is £1720 and is not value for money, tbh if anything it spoils the look of the bike, stock exhaust looks nicer but the full termi sounds awesome not overly loud without the baffle, just right and apart from a bit more free revving low down it don't make £1700 worth of power !!
The power delivery makes it a rapid bike and feels lovely to ride very involving and just feels special.
The Gs is a great bike I love em to bits it will take you across the water to any destination without a fuss, a good rider will stick with sport bikes up to to a point but for me they started to get boring and on a sunny day it was the least bike I wanted to take out, the ducati is the opposite.
it looks like a scooter on steroids. 
one thing Ducati have done is hide all fasteners for a clean look, downside is they are not stainless like the XR and there a nightmare to strip.
