They're are no worse overall than most other bikes, 15k (mile) intervals that's more than twice what it is for a FZS1000 and FZ1, so will balance out if you can spanner yourself it gets even cheaper. The days of these engines being fragile is long gone, they're just as reliable (if maintained) as any Jap bike.
I too was very sceptical when I had my first experience. Once I rode one I was blown away and having worked on a few they're no worse than many late model Jap bikes. If you're a hardened sports bike, newer looking street/muscle (MT's, Z1SX, GSX-S) fan then perhaps not for you, but if you don't want an FZS1000 and you are looking for bang for buck one bike for everything, the Multistrada is in my opinion the best out there at present.
Those that know me (and yes they're still a few left on the board) will know I'm not/wasn't a Ducati fan but this bike is really that good.
