Ducati Diavel

Our Review

Reviewed: 20 January 2011 by Ben Cope
“So, ah. How do you like ah cruising in Bolognese sauce?” says Ducati’s Marketing Director to me as we sit down for a coffee having tackled the amazingly twisty and sun-drenched Ronda road in Spain. And that's the thing, the Diavel is hard to pigeonhole. Before talking to the team behind ...  Continue reading

Don’t own a Diavel but managed to have a demo ride today at the Durham BikeWise show, the Ducati roadshow was there with 3 Diavels to play with.
Initial thoughts were, that’s a fat tyre, it feels low and the Continue reading...

Too many are trying to compare the Diavel to Ducati sport bikes.
The Diavel was designed to be a fast cruiser, NOT A SPORT BIKE!
It fills the gap between sport bikes and cruisers very nicely in the new desi Continue reading...

I took the Diavel out on a ride accompanied by another rider on a 2011 1198, not sure of his riding capabilities but he didn't lose me. This didn't come without a price though. The ride was supremely uncomforta Continue reading...

I think Ducati deserve a pat on the back for building this. It fills a niche we didnt know existed and probably wont ever sell in vast quantities.

Ive riden with a couple and I must say if I was in the market for a cruiser with attitude this would get my money. Its design and build are stunning it sounds and looks the business. Photos just dont do it justice. Why buy a Harley when you could own this?

Im just not quite sure when I would ride it, but then I guess this bike would provide the perfect excuse to find pointless journeys!
