Hi Thom. I'm about 190lbs and ride a Suzuki GS500. It's my first bike. My bike "only" has 40 hp, and I have no complaints about the power as a beginning rider. It easily hits 80mph with plenty of room to spare and is faster off the line than my 9-5 Aero (0-60 in 5-5.5, 1/4 in about 13.5). That Ducati has plenty of power.
Those Ducatis are awesome but be careful with 'em, maintenance is expensive. If you're so inclined, you might want to check out the Suzuki SV650. Sorta the "poor man's" Monster.
check out http://www.beginnerbikes.com, it's a excellent resource for people like us. good luck,
jeff
