I like the idea that the ST4, a tourer, is really a sports bike in disguse...must be good for a laugh on a twisty road chasing sportsbikes.

You don't need an ST4 or a 4S mate, an ST2 does just as nicely in the real world. Me and my mate Glyn ride together on ST2's and we've mugged a lot of 'faster' bikes. My abiding memories are coming round the outside of a Gixer Thou on the last of the long sweeping left handers at Rockingham, and Glyn mugged a wheelie popping Mille and an R1 on one of our favourite private test tracks last week (as witnessed by urban996).

ST2's - Ducatis most grossly underated bike.
