it's on my short list of bikes when i'm ready for a new one.  Altho, i will likely wait for a 2nd year model to come up used before buying new.

didn't they have their license pulled? 

I wonder why? I recently re-viewed that episode where they "custom built" that new monster that looked like crap.

Though, it never did make much sense to me why hardcore chopper builders would open a Ducati dealership.? An 1198 doesn't exactly scream chopper enthusiast.

Yeah, really. I make the beast with two backsing hate it.

The Diavel or the newer Monster or both??

This Diavel thing I couldnt care less about.  Its just another Ducati variant I personally wouldnt buy, but if others do/will then they're not wrong.  And neither am I  .

I had been contemplating between a Streetfighter or a NightRod for my second bike but I think I really like the Diavel and it has jumped to the top of the list.

This bike looks kickass. The concept rocks. I can't wait to ride it. 

So service intervals are now 15K??

Hmm.....

On anything with that Testies 11*, mr. SpeedBag

I have always wanted a Harley Night-Rod...I was really anticipating a Monster 796 to replace (or be added to) my S2R...until I saw the prototype of this bike.  I am really anxious to test ride the Diavel.  I need to start saving my pennies.  My real hope is that this bike will have a nice comfy passenger seat, that way this will become my 2-up bike and I'll keep the Monster for 1-up. 

when you test it, per normal ducati fashion, I would suggest your comfort test focus on positioning and ergonomics rather than plushness of seat: the really comfortable seat is typically in the DP catalog. The comfort seat for the MTS1200 is incredible.

and that gel filled DP seat will roast your nuts if it sits in the sun.

It would seem I haven't kept up on service intervals since departing with my M900....

Significant improvements. From 4,000 then to the well known 6,000, now 7,500 on all models except those with the 11-degree Testastretta
