Welcome aboard ! I think everyone here likes Bimotas just fine. My fav is the DB2, for which I am on the hunt. Eager to hear of your DB4 experiences.
I appreciate your comments on the ST. Though I rarely use them, I like to leave them on if only to let the young squids get a laugh before they retreat into the distance. Nice to remind them that it ain't the bike, it's the rider.

I've been doing some careful "hoss-trading" for the last 5 years with the goal of either an MV or a Bimota. After sampling both, I've settled on the Bimota. With a sub-400lb wet weight it suits my flick-it, old school tucked-in, no knee-out riding style.
I'm a 50+ yr-old rider with 30+ yrs of varied riding, from two-stroke seventies racers to touring bikes and everything in between. I fell in love with the Ducati motor 3 years ago, after accidentally falling into a great deal on the ST2. I was gonna turn around and resell it to make a profit 'till the first time I rode it; then I was hooked. Don't get me wrong, I like I4's, but the Duc motor is so relaxed feeling while moving fast.  Besides, I love smokin' young guys on WV twisties; saddlebags and all.
I heard about this DB4 by accident, and drove 200 miles just to look at it....left the guy a deposit and started selling everything that wasn't nailed down.... 
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
