Should be ok with a 2005 bike, most but not all electrical issues were mostly those caused by poor quality components were sorted by then. Still reg/rec failures which seem to still be common but then a lot of Japanese suffer the same, its just not as well documented. Because Ducati have had a history of electrical problems they seem to get more press.

My '02 S4 Fogarty has had a couple of electrical issues, since in my ownership the last 6 years:-

#1 The Coil Stick started to fail when hot on the rear cylinder (and these are made by Nippon Denso so not even Italian, they're Japanese and used on a variety of Jap stuff too, CBR, GSXR) Super expensive from Ducati but cheaper s/hand from Honda/Suzuki.

#2 The crank speed sensor had an intermittent fault, that would occasionally throw up an error code on the dash. I think this is either made by Nippon Denso too or Bosch. I think it was around £50 quid fitted/re-shimmed etc.
