Question:

How long will it take for you to get tired of riding the same motorcycle?

Let‘s say you buy a Ducati. How long will it take before you want to buy a new motorcycle?

Answer:

Take it to a mechanic, sounds like you bent something. (tie-rod or a-arm)
I've gone through 14 bikes in 30 years. But I would love to have most of them still in my garage. Each bike has it's own feel and while you might have upgraded, there is something cool and irreplaceable about any decent bike. My favorites were a Honda 500xl, a Kawasaki Z900, all 3 of my BMWs but the GS most of all, and my Honda VFR is the best bike I have ever owned. Most dissapointing bike was a Harley Superglide, a steaming pile.
Owned nearly 30 bikes in my 49+ years of riding, sorta wish I still had them all, but garage-space is garage-space and I've down-sized in the last few years. Never owned a bike I hated (though there were a few times that they did malfucation at an inappretune time) so I ride what I'm riding and doing the best I can with what I got. Have owned a Ducuti (Monster 629), fun enough bike but maintenance was a too much for my taste, so bye-bye it went. Haven't tired with my present stable mate (Triumph Tiger 955i) in the 11 years I owned it, has had its issues but it does what I need it to do and it may be the last bike I buy.
I owned one bike for 12 years. I still regret selling that bike. I owned another one for a few months. I have no regrets about that one at all. Get the right bike for you and you will love that bike forever. Fortunately, it takes owning a lot of bikes to find those that work well for you. Nothing beats being a bike slut.
