For a couple of quid, some thought and application you can have exactly what the manufacturer should have provided in the first place i.e. the bike will run on the stand but only in neutral, as soon as a gear is selected power to the ECU is cut.
Each to their own, I have several bikes and apart from the ducati none of them had a sidestand cut off switch, to have one set up with a "safety" feature and the others not is possibly inviting trouble, ie lazy habits learnt with the ducait and its safety switch could prove disasterous when these habits are transferred to another bike with out this feature
