If you like the Ducati 696 and think you can handle a bike that size, consider the Aprilia Shiver. It’s virtually the same bike as the Monster power and spec wise, but liquid cooled.

Edited to say: My husband has a Shiver (his first motorcycle in 10+ years) and while he is the first to admit it is a very powerful bike, he also is enjoying it immensely. You just need to be a grownup about it.
