How can you not like this? Diamond Black has changed my feelings about the Diavel.



if they fixed the scoops and the headlight, i think i could go with it.  the rest of the bike looks a bit organic, even Giger-esque.

it's that headlight tho.. it makes me think of this:

I liked how it felt.  I'd like to test ride it though.  Much lighter off the side stand than I anticipated.  Visually it looks very heavy, but it came up off the side stand with no effort.

Much more comfortable than the Vmax was, at least sitting on it at the show.  At 200 pounds heavier than the Diavel, the VMax didn't feel heavier so I'm not sure where it's carrying the weight, but the bars were also much narrower.  Big problem on the VMax for me was my knees hit the intakes and don't let me clamp the tank with my legs.  Maybe I'm not supposed to on this style of bike?

It seems Ducati is already at work on the successor to the Diavel. Here's a sneek peak

Or, what do you get when you mix a Diavel, a Streetfighter and Crack.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

it feels cheap to me, this is not to say it is, but the tank and air scoops looked like warped plastic IMO.  I did like the stance but the bars need to be pulled back about another inch.

the more red on the bike it looks better.

wow so they put a steel tank on this one? lol.. at least it won't have the warping tank problem. go figure.

after seeing more pics with people on the bike, it doesn't look as large as i thought it would seems like its just a beefier monster in a way. and its still a 150hp cruiser which is before you start messing with termi pipes and such, so it should be interesting.

who knows maybe they will sell a ton of these things, all the better for ducati.

same for me.  Needed them just a little bit further back, but I'm sure someone will be selling risers.  Not that I can afford one so it doesn't really matter.
