Have 2015 red carbon… just like looking at it in the garage…. It is definitely more of a power cruiser than a naked sport bike. No wind until about 120 MPH, great torque.. Diavel makes any road fun but my Tuono feels much faster and better in the twisties….

Great review Darnz, cheers mate. I picked up the same bike a couple of weeks ago, 2014 gen 2. Just getting to know the beast. Not sure if you still monitor the video comments, wanted to ask what wheels you have fitted, as a they don't look like stock.

Bro.... you do realise both the front forks and the rear mono shock are fully adjustable... at a turn of the knob...literally! Also on the pillion seat, every single passenger Ive ever had on my 2014 (had it since new) has remarked that it is hands down the most comfy pillion ride they've had, and believe it or not with my missis literally having an orgasm just sitting there on one particularly amazing ride soooo..... its hard for me to draw any negatives regarding the Diavel pillion seat ...lmfao!!!! Anyhoo.... enjoy ya ride bro ....stay safe and stay upright !!! Chur

Yea mate I tried all sorts of different settings with the suspension and even had the Ducati mechanic dial it in to what he thought were the most suitable settings. Those front forks were just rock hard! Haha I can only pass on what my wife said about the pillion and she didn't like it compared to the other bikes she's been on. Thanks for your comment!

Just bought the strada version after 3 ‘nice’ BMWs, last one the S1000 XR which is quick..but the Diavel is so much more at mid range and handles so well. Great to hear about the vibrations being normal, I thought the bike was misfiring, great to hear I’m not the only one to struggle moving up to 5th or 6th...unless you are in 3 figures (mph) ..thanks mate, great video

I swapped from Vmax 17ü0 to the Diavel last weekend - first time I swapped with my buddy. What can I say... we both were happy to be back on our bikes. I am used to light weight nimble bikes as well (I have a SV650 as third bike) so I could handle the Diavel whereas my buddy was totally overdone with the weight and size of the Vmax. After that trip he said that it was brave of me riding the Diavel. I said no, it was brave of me giving you the Vmax. The only mode the diavel behaves like I expect from a bike with 150+ hp is in sports mode and there it is useless to go below 3500 rpm The Vmax pulls from 1500. Even 50kph in top gear (5.) is possible. That is the cruising part of the Vmax. If you go beyond 4000, the Vmax accelerates as hard as any superbike, that is the superbike part of the Vmax.

If it doesn't like being below 4,000 rpm, what's the point of it? It's supposed to have lots of low-down torque? Or is this the old model? I thought they'd sorted the low-down lugging problem. How does it pull from 2,000 in top gear? I don't see how with an engine of 1200 cc upper revs performance and low-down pull need to be mutually exclusive. My B-King revs like mad, but will pull out of a roundabout in 6th gear at 1,000 rpm if I want.
@TheDarnz8 жыл бұрын
The point of it is to go fast! The torque doesn't really kick in until 4500rpm. Drawback of using a superbike engine in a road bike I guess. The low down lugging has been sorted with the new XDiavel's variable valve timing engine but this engine doesn't have that. It doesn't pull from 2000rpm at all! The bike would be shaking itself to pieces and probably be close to stalling at rpm that low!

I did a ten things response to Downshift83 about my 2011 Diavel. Having the bike for five years made some things stand out like a sore thumb. Swapping coolant helps with the temp. Honda coolant from the dealer seems to work well. Drop a tooth on the front sprocket and you'll be pulling in sixth at 70kph. Also helps to retune with Tuneboy. I can ride down to 2500 rpm smoothly after Tuneboy. Stock fueling sucks to meet emissions and sound BS. Then again, maybe ditching the flapper valve in the exhaust also helped with my low end. Stock pillion is very wide, flat, and thin. No way to help that unless they wear padded shorts or get a different seat. I think they named it Diavel because the devil keeps nagging you to go faster Faster FASTER every time you ride it. Hellish fun.
