Have not seen one on the road yet .
I've seen 4 or 5 at this point, they're very cartoonish.

Ducati is making serious efforts at reliability since Audi bought them. They knew when the bought the company that reliability and after-sales support was the only thing holding sales back.
Shaft driven bikes are making less sense as chains are lasting longer than typical shaft drives these days.
Another option in that range is Triumph Tiger Triples. Triumph has been doing record sales in Canada. The XR is around 12K.
I have an '84 shaft drive, and a friend a '78 shaft drive.
I never would have guessed that a chain would last 40+ years.

The newer 821cc L-twins on the hypermotard and monsters has the 24,000km service intervals so no worse than the Japanesa. Same with the older 848 EVO engine that's in my streetfighter, loving the bike so far perfect streetbike and I believe 2015 was the last year their making these!
