that one is pretty blah... but it's less than a grand extra for a full system that looks way better :p

Oh my!! This on a new 1100 would be sick.

The more I see and hear of this bike the more I'm thinking it may just be almost exactly what I want. A power cruiser that feels like a standard.

I've been torn for years over an internal dilemma of wanting something that is really rather quite comfortable to cruise in OR something that can actually take a corner. I may just have to delay and start looking at this...

ahks,

This bike according to the Test Ride IS a bike that handles similar to a Superbike ...but has the comfort more like a sport tourer.

like i said since the beginning
this bike has potential and once its customized it could be amazing

Hell yeah!!!

+1  Those pipes would look sweet on the 1100!  They look good on the Diavel too

I think you could park an 1100 inside the header.   

My dilemma......do I part w, a '09 BMW K 1300 GT w, 3,000 miles and loaded w, options plus a Remus slip on, for a Diavel ?

The BMW is fast, very comfortable , and surprisingly , handles great in the twisties.....almost Sportbike like.

It has 99 lb. ft. of Torque , same as my 1098 R , (of course it weighs 562 lbs. dry vs 363 lbs.for the " R " ).

It runs just fine and I love the electronically  "  on the fly  "  adjustable suspension.

I'd take a $10,000 hit from what I paid for it new ( or more) since I like the Carbon model Diavel .

If I sit on one that may be all it takes to push me over the fence.

2pts for a good observation! 

Motorcylist Columnist Aaron Frank " I'm not sure what I expected to see, but it wasn't to see Ducati's lead test rider Alessandro Valia exit the factory's back gate sideways and spewing tire smoke, then launch into a three gear power wheelie .

Reaching the opposite end of the track at almost 100 mph, he toed the rear brake and pitched the duct tape-disguised prototype into a tire-howling, full lock, supermoto-style slide."

Sound like a big , heavy Cruiser ?

less than a grand

I'm taking full credit for this...

I posted this version a long time ago

Take off the back rest, and it isn't too bad. Makes it a much more functional bike.
