I'm thinking the same way as you, Harry, except for the Ducati part. Mine WILL be a Triumph. Only question is when (sooner rather than later) - and which colour.
After many years of riding BMWs I decided that there were too many other options not to sample some of their wares. The next bike I buy will likely be a marque I haven't owned. That basically leaves the Italians and KTM. I haven't owned a Harley but they do nothing for me, so not likely.
