Well, I'm guessing the salesman made more money on the Duc and that's the real reason lol. My MV is trouble-free and runs like a scalded cheetah. Ducati's are okay though, if you have to settle. ;-)

By the way, I take mine to Mad Moto (Broadway & Belleview) and they specialize in Eye-talian exotica and Steve's a really cool guy. So no problem on servicing the bad boy when it needs it. Parts? Can't argue with you there. Ducati definitely has better parts availability. But the MV was my dream bike and I wasn't going to let that hinder me.

The Concours...it's for fat old guys...and Erik.

As for the Interceptor...JUST DEW EET!!!! My VFR1200 is one of the best motorcycles I can even imagine. I'm amazed at just how good it is every time I ride it. It would be a sweet addition to your Duc as an everyday, all-rounder.
