2014 Ducati Diavel - Long Term Thoughts

I've owned the Diavel for over 6 months and I have learned a few things about the bike that I didn't pick up on my very excited test ride.
This bike is fun, comfortable, powerful, and looks and sounds like sex.

So 7 years later, did you ever change that front sproket?

[@markr7396]

cool review, had me smiling as i watched, and looking forward to getting my 2012 Diavel !!! can't had to give it ia twist.

Yeah you're back! That bike is incredibly sexy. Love watching you guys ride on the left side of the road, trips me out haha, Texas rider right here.

I noticed the same gearing issue with my 796 monster, almost NEVER used 6th. Once I changed the front and back sprocket it changed completely. I'd recommend going down a tooth at the front with ANY Ducati, seems to make them happy

Not a huge motorcycle guy but since I've been looking at getting a diavel ... This is the first review out of very many where I just loved listening to this brotha .. I mean fuck... This dude gets what people wanna hear ... His review alone sold me on this bike... You should do reviews on cars my man.

I have owned my Diavel for almost three years (new in January 2013). It is too noisy mechanically. It ran shite at low revs (under 4k) until I put a Tuneboy to it. Really the only time it is any sort of fun is when you are basically breaking the law. It is damn near impossible to cruise on. Typical Ducati it is a one trick pony. Fast. I have tried for three years to love this thing but there are days where I am out on it but just come home early 'cause I'm getting more and more jacked off the longer I ride it. Yes, it overheats in traffic (even in winter). The header tank leaked cooling fluid and was replaced under warranty (eventually, after a couple of visits to the service centre). Yes it is too tall geared when stock (I went lower for traffic work). It eats tires (and you can only buy one brand / compound of rear) in around 7000kms. Mine needs it's 24000km service now...($1300 please..FFS) & I have retired it to the back of the shed 'till I can be fucked riding it again. My first and last Ducati. I have never had to work so hard (unsuccessfully) to love a bike and failed. No, I am not a troll, nor am I kidding.....Glad you are enjoying your Diavel. May you ride long & safe.

Thx Darnz, some nice Diavel contemplations! I'll get mine next week ;-)

[@joeysawatzky5597]

I dropped a tooth in the front 2 weeks after i got my 2015. That upped the rpm in all the gears which made it better for city and hwy driving. Im with darnz on how fun this bike is though. Love it!

Great review.

[@mazin_0_0]

Great review. ahhhhhhhhhh .Keep it up.

[@quickkills2873]

Looking at buying one now think I’m gonna go for it

[@mountainbikerpaul2267]

Very nice bike, even better is that beautiful place you live, so lucky to have such great roads with hardly any traffic.

[@kevindentith4267]

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
