What does Diavel mean anyway?

It's Italian for "Dave", as the bike was named after me.


This was no doubt chosen due to my epic power, lack of height, stopping power, or because some numbnuts wrecked one ten minutes into a ride.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I thought it was cool that our very own Mr. Incredible was the first hit.

I see it more as a VMax competitor than a Harley fight as well.

As for weight, I have heard it's actually really light. Like 430 lbs wet light with 165 HP.

It's Italian for "bird" or "eagle," I'm not sure which.

So, depending on which way the letters face?

Maybe it's Italian for DeWalt and it's actually some sort of power tool. Like a sewer drain auger? [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

You are not a unique snowflake.  You are the same decaying, organic matter as the rest of us.

That one above is not in stock trim. That was one of the bikes that was sent out to shops to do custom versions for the launch. The one above is Roland Sands one.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

- '08 KTM 690 StupidMoto
- '07 Triumph 675 Track bike.

wow -- even the color scheme looks familiar to my DesmoDevil!

So did Ducati send you a royalty check?  

They do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

I don't mind the undercover version in flat black
