Reliability hmmm I guess I've run about 100K in the past 10 years without any huge problems and tS.
The Yam 600 I had was a total pain, carbs always dropping out of sync, plagued with electrical issues... which is what people say about Ducati's

They're as reliable as you'll need, a newer injected model would be what you want. 620 or 750 for the old classic frame. Or just newer where there are lots of models to choose from.

More is getting used to the style of riding which isn't about massive revs. Most of the monsters handle really well, you can do lots of tweaks to get the set up you want and like.

Try one you might get on well with them, watch out though they can be addictive,
