I'm seeing more and more about the new Diavel and this looks to be a state of the art Awesome machine in every way.  162 hp....Seems like this is going to be a blast to ride but no matter which way I look at it, just doesent look attractive. I couldn't part with my money if it doesen't look sexy.  Don't care how much of everything else Im getting for my money.  Maybe seeing it in person but I don't think so.  I think the VRod is cooler LOOKING and don't care for the Harley in any way.  Just my opinion

tried it out at the dallas IMS show...

can't say i'm a fan...feels like there is 6 feet of bike from you to the front tire

doesn't feel heavy, feels like an 1198 when flicking it from side to side

Guy's selling point was how cool the passenger pegs are though

feels long, squishy and a bit forced

get a streetfighter, it's awesome in every way
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

It is a good looking bike...


...wait...

wrong pic.

Sorry.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

ugly. I think they need to get back to the classic designs. Modern - like this on -just doesn't do it for me.

Everytime I see the Diavel, it just looks like some big plastic Toy.

Do not want.

It goes along the lines of soft cheap plastic, not unlike:

I don't understand what Ducati was thinking????  Nothing seems to Flow.  It really doesen't have a sexy line on it.
