That being said you expect a new bike to live up to new bike status eh and not have such a stupid problem that can cause damage and $$$$.

don't think it's a Ducati thing... my zx6 would get false neutrals all the time when riding, never when starting the bike - but you never know

stand on the kick stand side of the bike, pull the clutch & front brake while thumb'n the starter - release the clutch, then the brake (if it's in a gear it will jerk & stall out) - let the oil warm a bit then, giver a few revs to impress the adoring crowd
