I tried a friend's ST2... great bike... if you like Ducatis.
I do like them, but not as much as I like my Triumph (my problem is that I 
like quite everything with two wheels, except HDs).

Anyhow, be warned that the ST2 is far LESS powerful than the Sprint, and 
you'd be very disappointed if you'd really expect it to lift up the front 
wheel out of corners. Maybe the ST4 (that has, more or less, the same HPs 
of the Sprint) can play this game, but not that easily.

Ciao
