Maybe they should call it a Bruiser© - I watched that vid and that dude is carving some awesome road up on that Diavel. I will have to take peoples word for it that is looks better IRL.

That's frickin awesome.

Did someone say "fugly"?

+1.

I love my Duc but I would go to Ducati for a cruiser about as quickly as I would go to Harley Davidson for a race bike.
Prejudiced?  Yeah, probably but some things are just wrong.

They are both fugly bikes that only an owner or an enthusiast could love mate - but I'd take a pike's peak styled 1200S multi over teh bruiser anyday.

its time

   I can see the logic, the reasoning .  .  .  .  but, but I'd never own one !
             
       

           

fark finnaly a bike i could ride , couldnt care how ugly it was its the spinkter moments that count 

they finally got one over here in Perth. Had a look yesterday... I gotta say, it didn't really grab hold of me, but its not as bad in the flesh!

I wonder where they'll put the numberplate now that the bracket hugging the back wheel didn't get compliance??

Not sure if I put itup but the Sydney one has the plate just hanging off the back like anything else.

They just got one in today at Causeway Ducati in Vic Park Perth.
I was in there with my Husband when they wheeled it of the truck.
I personally didn't like it so much but he loved it.
Had a sit on it and it wasn't as heavy as i thought it would have been and like you said monsta it definately looks better in in the flesh.

Well we just arrived home after a 60 hour round trip to Brissie

On the way home we stopped off at our favourite Mid Coast Bike Shop ... they had a couple of new arrivals mid-week.



We were offered a test ride but we had no time or gear ... one was headed out for a test ride as we arrived (sounds alright stock).

The first one they sold was to a petite female ... her other bike (for now at least) is a Monster apparently. You read it here first ... the Diavel is a chick's bike ... comfy and light enough for little people.

Sorry my brain is obviously a little frazzled after the weekend we have had ... I didn't imagine what I posted could be interpreted that way.

Apologies for any confusion but Jukie has most definitely NOT bought a Diavel.

Yeah I think the road trip affected your usual writing tone,i read it pretty much the same way except we know Trevor would never be sold or traded in for another.
I can see the attraction of the bike, i was talking to a few guys at the track about it last week. They all agree that it looks pretty good for a Ducati-Davidson....
