Also, just practice.
Different manufacturers have different balances on this. Too easy to find neutral means missed 1-2 or 2-1 shifts; too hard makes the riding easier but the stopping harder. Ducati tends to the latter, historically, and the 939SS is no different.
The "secret" is practice. You get the feel for it after a while on the bike. When I testrode the 939SS, I had no trouble finding neutral; it felt just like it always has on my Monster. By now, after having put a few miles on a Monster, it's a natural motion for me. Toe it in just enough, and not too much.
