"Well breaddrink...everything you said touched on all my concerns. I wouldn't want to buy and store an exotic bike and have it deteriorate prematurely"
No way man, I don't want to put you off the idea, I just think you've found an unusual tangent in that you want an investment but also an awesome ornament.
I also think it's completely obtainable, just an interesting slight difference to most other situations.
The ones I've seen, say in schools, or museums aren't meant to be ever started again or collections that are started and at great expensive kept up continuously but then usually not on display.
You want both storage, but not put away. Displayed and then life
I think the suggestion of contacting the museum is a great one.
Also, your life may be very different from mine, in that the garage is kind of my space and the safest place for these things.
I'm working on getting it climate controlled, but it's already not at the astonishing climate changes some places in the US see.
If I had a living room Ducati, I'd find PB&J's on it from time to time. The odd random dried on ketchup jet that couldn't possibly have happened at any angle or in any situation.
