I wouldn't associate the word "torque" with any Ducati with the possible exception of the Diavel which I haven't ridden. Unless you are revving them, there's nobody home in the engine department.
Things may well have changed for the better with the last few models, say from the 1098, but prior to that you were supposed to get the bike serviced whether you used it or not. The belts could develop a "set".
Don't judge them by the size either, the smaller ones won't be much, if any, any quicker than your VFR.
One of the two valve models might be OK, Trade Me might reveal a treasure, but as someone else said a Honda might be better for your intended use.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
