The S4 has better turn in because of the height of the handlebars. Good review though.
I'm having trouble believing that.

By that reasoning, bikes with ape hangers should flick from side to side like nobody's business.

Certainly wider bars would give the rider more leverage for counter steering, but there was no significant difference in the width of the bars between the R6 and the Speed Four. I think the easier turn-in on the Triumph is more likely related to the different tires on the bikes: The Triumph had the 70 profile BT-010s, and the R6 was wearing 60 profile Diablos.
