Great pics Will.  Best I've seen so far.

Other than the body paint it really doesn't look like I missed anything. Well of course I forgot there was the flame spitter. What else happened?

Ever thought about enjoying life?

It isn't the ugliest bike Ducati has released, the Indiana is. 

Hey, they had one of those at the party too!  Fortunately it was dark outside.

Yep, those were kinda ugly for sure. If you squint your eyes just right it looks like an old '83 Honda Magna.

what happened:
open bar, drinks & dj provided by Red Bull
free beer
catered food by Wolfgang Puck
burlesque dancers
painted lady
the 'bike' models
the bikes
the historic race bikes
fire breathers
damn near everybody from DNA
and i can't remember what else

Cool!

I respectfully submit evidence to the contrary:

It's funny you say that because just as the cover was about to be lifted and Jeff was introducing it as the New... Ducati... Cruiser, someone near the mic exclaimed, "The INDIANA!"

Weird moment for sure.

I did like the bike though.  To me, it's the third Ducati to come out recently that looks better "in person" than on the web (the other two being the Multistrada and 1098).  The Diavel looks to be very well put together, the proportions are "right" with a rider  on it.  And in typical Ducati fashion, the thing is light, powerful, and has brakes that should stop a freight train...

What's not to like?  

it was probably me - the indiana was right next to it

 
  At the party, I had to think for a minute to try and come up with a mental image of the Indiana (I was in the cheap seats at the very back... by the bar).  Never did exactly but I did know enough to know it probably was not one of Ducati's more popular bikes.  Oh well, I think the timing might work for the Diavel this time around.

And I have to say, you've got some awesome new digs on Lesley Street.  Top notch.  As much as I liked the looks of the new work space, though, the Dyno Room was the best.

I would totally ride an Apollo, if one could be found, which it can't.

i would too.

in the land of non-sporty ducatis, Mark has a Condor:

What's the policy on "smoking" in the dyno room?

Has anyone ridden one?  That usually is a factor to liking
a bike.  Just sayin...
