Are you a brand new rider or have experience? A bike is a very personal choice, so I don’t think anyone knows better than you on what you want. From your list, I’d take any Suzuki or Kawasaki for their low cost and reliability, and skip the Ducati for a first bike. Kymco shouldn’t even be on the same list; if you want a scooter then you should do a separate scooter comparison.
I own several bikes and I still have a long list of bikes I’d like to own, but when I first started last year, I just zeroed in on the GS500 and called it good. I’m 6′, 170 lb, the GS500 feels a little small physically now, but I still feel it’s the perfect beginner bike.
