I've ridden both bikes and I'll say that the BMW will outperform the superbike. Also, the BMWs engine beyond smooth.
Maintenance is expensive with any Ducati. 7500 miles is a 600 dollar service, the 12k mile one is more than that.
The Ducatis are better looking, better sounding, and have more of a soul. I'd get the 1199 over the 1198 or S1000RR though.
