In 2019 we rode down to the Misano MotoGP in San Remo, all of us on litre sports bikes and a couple of GSX-R750s but one guy asked if he could tag along with us and he was riding a Diavel, no-one said it but we were all thinking "he'll not be able to keep up with us" but he did the whole way, just falling slightly behind over the tighter mountain roads but overall he matched the purpose built sports bikes and in comfort, IMO a great bike.

Absolutely a brilliant bike, bought one ( Ducati Red )last May. Normally ride 700km trips on it, find it very comfortable. Don't like how the mirrors can only adjust on the horizontal, and not on the vertical. Personally I would class it more as a super naked, more than a cruiser. It's a keeper. Always enjoy your channel.

A stunning motorcycle. My only nitpicks would be the two instances of classic Italian form over function. The rear light assembly may look cool but it'll be a royal pain in the neck to clean. The quad pipes slip-on exhaust weighs a ton and the alternative lighter option is priced at £5138!

The Akrapovic is horribly overpriced but it looks great and sounds even better. When you hear it you want it. Part of the reason is the huge increase in the cost of titanium and then there’s the Ducati tax. I agree about those rear lights as well - they look great but you’d probably want to remove the cover to clean them properly. Not so much of a problem if it’s in your garage except for when the sun is shining. 😂 It’s a great bike though.

@@sp00ky1969 Cheers. It'll be interesting to see what the presumed Diavel V4 S is like. Ditching the V4's aforementioned heavy slip-on for a simpler design that's lighter in weight would be a good move for starters. They likely won't change the rear light assembly because... Italians!

Hi Andy, had the 2016 one brand new, spent 2 years going back to the dealers with electrical faults, then 3 years with no faults until the indicator switch fell off. Over 120mph the air box used to wail like a demon (on the autobahn) and it needed the touring screen. To sum up, a beautiful Italian bike, a bit like a beautiful Italian woman, wild and a bit temperamental. Cost of it in 2016, £13,000 Dark Stealth edition. MPG about 47. The cost now is eye watering, I have heard that the MPG on the V4 isn’t great. Enjoyed the video Andy.

These definitely grew on me more with this generation. I never cared for them in the past because I didn’t understand why you’d take a Diavel over a Monster and when they branded the X Diavel as a muscle cruiser I was a Harley guy at the time and saw it as a naked bike with terrible ergonomics. I think these are really cool, but still a niche bike when the Monster’s and Streetfighter’s are so great and really cover a wide price range. If it was closer to the Streetfighter V2 price I think it would stand out more, but it’s V4S price and that is motorcycle perfection. I’d rather take the perfection when spending that much money

Interesting bike the Diavel. When the original came out i went to a Ducati dealer (who shall remain nameless) and was allowed to test ride literally every other model Ducati made, but not the Diavel. They said "if you like the bike you will just buy it, no test rides". so no I never bought one, never went thru that dealers door ever again, and now never will buy a Diavel as i've moved on to other styles if bike.

I rode one last year and for me the rear bank deactivation under 4k revs ruined it. I don’t understand how people are saying it’s not noticeable because for me it completely changed the character and ruined the low end drive. If i wanted a parallel twin i would buy one, i don’t expect to pay all that money for a V4 and end up with a twin for 75% of time!

For me a Ducati has to either be red, or at least have a red painted frame (not that you can see the frame on this bike) Guess I'll stick with my faithful Multistrada 1200 for now :)

Agree the front indicators would look brilliant as the air intakes. I have reservations about the rear light if a tall vehicle is behind you can they see it? For me the main issue is the bike has no category. If you want a comfy bike you get a tourer or sports tourer. If you want a sports bike you buy a sports bike.. this and the rocket 3 both live in a category I call willy waving. Obviously expensive as well

Oh man, that engine sounds sooooooo good…. I ride a Tiger 1050 Sport 2020 and I love the sound of the triple, but I’d me seriously tempted with the Ducati if not for the price…. Gorgeous machine…. Feel free to donate for a weekend of testing 😉

A beautiful bike. If I could afford 4 or 5 bikes, I'd want one to fill in for ripping around, but since I can't afford it, I'd go for a more all-around bike.

What a lovely looking lump of machinery. Never thought I'd ever say that a Ducati looks great in any colour than red, but that one certainly does. As for the tft, as small as it looks, I actually think it suits the view forward. Any bigger and it could spoil the flow of the cockpit area. I wondered if the mirrors could be made a bit larger, and intergrade the indicators into them, taking away the hideous looking ones on it.

Yes I think that would be a good move - although I liked the front “shoulder” mounted indicators on the previous model tbh…

It seems I disagree with most people. I can't believe the designer put their pencil down and thought, yep that's a good days work. 🤔 Really it's just a fashion accessory.

It looks better than previous model at least. I’m a designer (not industrial one) so I might be biased but it looks good to me.

A fashion accessory? I don’t think you’ve ridden one. Looks are obviously subjective but the bike does perform remarkably well.

Great little review rite there Andy👍 Always liked the looks of it but never thought what it be like to ride. Such a shame that the weather wasn't good enough to explore the cornering capabilities of such a Beastie My H2SX is a good 30kgs heavier and does need a decent shove to get it into a corner but my God..... once its in, its tracks a corner like its on rails 🏍💨💗 All best buddy Russ

I've always been a big touring bike fan, but I have to admit this is a beautiful looking bike and if I had the money and more garage space, I would definitely like a red one in the stable. I think the visuals from every angle are great, and with respect, I think the mirrors work on this bike. Oh, and yes, how could anyone say anything negative about that beautiful exhaust. You video and audio is very good, but I would've liked to have heard more engine sound.

Can’t agree with you on the looks of this bike, if we’re calling this bike a cruiser. The looks do nothing for me, as, for example, do the looks of, say, a Speedmaster and other genuine cruisers. The Diavel is a muscle bike, for sure, and the name and design aesthetic don’t spell “cruiser.” Your own previous commentary on cruisers is that they’re designed for lazy all-day riding, getting out there for a nice ride where it’s about being out there, not how much performance you can wring out of the bike. The Diavel exudes performance as the reason the bike exists, not cruising. Were I drawn to muscle bikes for the sake of muscle bikes, this would be very high on my list, assuming my budget would allow the bike to be there. In that regard, it’s a good-looking bike. Perhaps Ducati’s “power cruiser” moniker isn’t quite right for this bike. I suggest this bike is much more in the street-fighter idiom, rather than the cruiser idiom. If I look at it that way, this bike is a work of art. But as a cruiser, it’s overkill on steroids.

I have an identical one as to the one you have tested. I feel the comfort seat option may be viable option which I will get. Luckily in summer in the South Island of New Zealand, so intend to get a few trips on it. Amongst the bikes I own I consider with the optional touring pack options coming I will be able to take it on the odd tour. I tour mainly on my 2017 BMW R1200R which I find a great touring option as I do prefer naked bikes.
