Honda CBR 1000rr or Ducati S2R?

Looking at used Motorcycles -- Can't Decide between 2006 Honda CBR 1000rr and a 2006 Ducati Monster S2R. Ducati looks like sitting is a little more upright, I am 6'1'' so that worries me a little. I was also a little worried about maintenance since I hear they are more expensive. I mostly want the Ducati since it is different than your typical "crotchrocket". Any advice?
I owned a Kawasaki Ninja 500 for about 4 years. Learned to ride on my uncles 1200 Honda Shadow, I have ridden several different types of bikes. I commute to and from work using the train, but I am looking at it for when I do need to drive somewhere, as well as visit family/just for fun. It won't be a regular commuter, but it will be used pretty often. The Ducati is tempting but sounds like the Honda might be a bit more practical.
