I own an 04 749 Dark that I've put about 23,000Km on it via commuting, touring and tracking. If you need info and such I am more than happy to help out.
Also not slamming these forums but they can be pretty quiet for Duc related things.
www.speedzilla.com/forums has a great Ducati section and
www.ducati.ms is also a great resource for Duc owners.
Good luck and congrats on the bike.
Cheers!
