New new new

So I've been on my little ninjette for a year and a half now and I'm gonna get something a little bigger. Just wanted thoughts on which direction I should go as far as brands go.

I'm not really considering the supersports unless it would be a naked version (fz6 fz8 etc) and I'm really wanting something that is fast and fun, but also good with the gas and ergos.

And I really like the italian bikes So suggestions and thoughts are welcome and encouraged

I just got a Ducati Hyperstrada and it is freaking awesome. Super comfy seat and back friendly upright handlebars. My girl loves it as well. Two it is perfect.
And the power....Oh gawd the power....Torque will make it wheelie from a light!
And TONS of traction control tech.

What kind of gas mileage do you get, and how does it perform in the twisties? It's a motard but can it really go offroad and perform?

I got 47MPG on my last fill up. I have yet to go offroad with it but I cant wait until i do. It wont be anything crazy-like since i dont want to risk effing up my brand new bike lol. In the twisties I was going a pretty good pace with no problem, definitely not as fast as i do with a ninja but i dont really feel comfortable going too fast just yet.
