Is Ducati the ITALIAN Harley Davidson?! | VLOG005

When you think of brands with a cult following, one of the top names in that conversation is Harley Davidson. They've got an image, and the fans are die-hard, wearing the gear almost like a uniform.
Very similar to another brand that we love... Ducati.
Yes, you guys may not like to hear this one, but Ducati is a lot like Harley Davidson... We'd even call them the Italian Harley Davidson! (At least in terms of cult following).
Let's talk about it!

Harley Davidson. The American Ducati. Said no one ever 😂

[@Motomillion]

Thats one way of looking at it.

[@tastorque]

I really like when you talk about Ducati and Harley Davison because those are my 2 favourite brands 😊

[@Davemcmasters]

The diavel is in the muscle cruiser class like the VROD , Yamaha VMAX , Indian FTR 1200 .

[@Myvoice800]

I own 3 Ducati's, and one of them is the Xdiavel and I understand on what are trying say. Xdiavel or Diavel is just better, faster and unique looking bikes! However, I don't think we can compare HD to Ducati. They're just incomparable and I don't mean to disrespect the HD community, I mean they're not the same. I take trips with my bikes, and I enjoy doing that whenever I can and if I had to add one more bike to my collection, it would definitely be a HD

[@williamsongarrett1]

I think you're right about the Harley and Ducati rider crew. One of the things I love about Ducati is the community and sense of belonging when riding with other Ducati riders and being so different than most other bikes out there. Harley is the norm in the US of course but I can imagine the community brings a great sense of belonging as well.

[@Motomillion]

Yes for sure there is a great sense of community. One of the things we enjoy the most about it as well! Every city has their own Ducati club through their dealer which is awesome.

[@williamsongarrett1]

@@Motomillion yes I was apart of Ducati Owners of Minneapolis (DOOM) for a while before I moved and wow they have a ton of members!

[@Duc_amin]

I get what you’re saying. Bikes like Diavel are just weed fed HD, agile, naughtier, faster and truly better looking.

[@niptalkshow]

I’m in both cults haha. Have two Harley’s and a Ducati.

[@Motomillion]

What is your thoughts on this topic?

[@niptalkshow]

@@Motomillion Well, they are both companies that make above average, more expensive motorcycles (on different levels), but unlike their competitors, they have managed to make their brand a lifestyle that’s embraced by their customers. On those grounds, they are very similar.

[@Dalekennth1969]

It doesn’t matter what the brand make of bike if you like how it looks how it rides cool

[@ehiggins7476]

HD's are cool looking but very expensive for what they offer, slow, heavy, handle poorly and brake even worse. But they look and sound cool. They are designed for the open road and straight highways. I have ridden a couple and I get it, if you like to cruise they are cool.

[@hutch2142]

Yes. I have a Diavel V4, and explain to people that it's basically the Italian HD. It's a premium priced product that isn't necessarily the cheapest to own/maintain. I don't have any Ducati branded clothing though, not my thing. I have ridden some HDs, and nothing wrong with them, just not my style of bike. A bit lethargic and I don't like how they feel 'top heavy'. If I did have one, again would be dressed in the gear though.

[@nothingtoseehere93]

HD isn’t premium though. Indian is premium

[@hutch2142]

@@nothingtoseehere93 I really think that's a matter of opinion based on what you prioritize. I've owned an Indian Challenger, and shopped it against the Road Glide. The fit/finish/materials of the HD was better then the Indian, but performance of the Indian blew the HD out of the water.

[@Motomillion]

You need to see some of their CVO stuff.

[@hutch2142]

@@Motomillion I've seen the CVO bikes as well. The paint/fit/finish are gorgeous. I just don't like how heavy the bikes feel vs other bikes because the weight is just carried higher on the bike. I'm always surprised how much lighter/nimble a bike feels vs a Harley when they have the same weight. I'm not anti-HD in any way at all, just not my cup of tea.

[@markettradinggenius]

Manny, you need to get your hands on that 2024 bmw m1000xr(competition package is what me and my wife are also looking at)...I think it would blow away the diavel v4 in nearly every category...

[@markwoolard3315]

Multistrada v4 RS would be the Ducati to compare the XR to.

[@markettradinggenius]

@@markwoolard3315 I think the v4 RS would 'almost' keep up with the m1000xr 😅 stock for stock, but after both are flashed the m1000xr would simply leave the v4RS kicking rocks...

[@Motomillion]

A BMW ? No thanks.

[@markettradinggenius]

@@Motomillion 🤣

[@ehiggins7476]

@@markettradinggenius On a tour or a canyon ride? I don't think so

[@sp1pilot]

Coaxial mounted brakes and telescopic forks on a $30k+ motorcycle. There is no comparing these two machines. Ducati has a fit and finish eons ahead of Harley. But the very 2 distinct groups of riders do share a similar level of passion for motorcycles. That said, I have a new found respect for HD with what they have done to the '24 Road Glide platform.

[@Motomillion]

Not comparing the physical bike to physical bike…

[@ehiggins7476]

@@Motomillion Brand image is the only thing in common. Which is huge for both.

[@Dalekennth1969]

I think you love Harley brackout looks very similar to the bike you’re riding in video

[@bowlacereal6893]

I watched the whole thing, interesting point.

[@Motomillion]

Thank you!

[@blvckleman]

I just bought Black Diavel V4 and i have stock exhaust. How i can meet you guys before buying Termignoni just to hear that sound 🙏

[@Motomillion]

Email us, we may be able to accommodate you.

[@blvckleman]

Can you give me your email address? Thank you guys 🙏

[@kennethgreen114]

The Diavel needs hard bags. That is why the multistrada is a better choice. Figure out how to install hard saddlebags

[@Motomillion]

Diavel V4 actually has bag mounts from factory.

[@kennethgreen114]

Soft bags, not hard bags, big difference

[@Dalekennth1969]

Can get more carbon fibre parts on the beautiful bike

i think the clutch lever would cost more than my phone 📱

Which clutch lever?

Yes me too feell it ducati guy is full red even his red underwear.

[@VishalSingh-lv1zl]

Mani bro ❤

[@juanonline]

Totally agree! Both brands figured out how to add feeling and personality to their machines, something that unites people; not an easy feat. On the Harley topic, I will always encourage people to have a HD on the collection. Get a used late model dyna or m8 Softail and keep it for cruising.

[@Motomillion]

Harley’s are a lot of fun as well.

[@DucatiDiaries]

Dee AH vul. Come on people! 😂

[@nickrider5220]

Ducati love pushing the technological envelope and have evolved alot....HD have moved to the late 20th century !

[@nothingtoseehere93]

No. Case closed😂 Harley makes no power, has no tech, leak oil, and break down all the time. Ducati looks incredible, makes tons of power, leak oil, and break down all the time. Wait

[@omarkhan1434]

Keep it red…Ducatis and Ferraris look best in red.

[@Motomillion]

Blue 356 Daytona looks so right!

It have that Ducati over a harley any day. You will never see a hellbilly angel riding on that sweet duke though.

[@JohnDoe-zo5tu]

I've never liked the Diavel. When I first saw it, I immediately thought "What is it?" I concluded it's a crossover and I've never been a fan of crossovers (four wheels or two). I'm a traditionalist and think a sedan should look like a sedan, an SUV should look like an SUV, a truck should look like a truck, and a station wagon should look like a station wagon. I think when you combine styling elements of various vehicles into one, it ends up being a styling disaster. I've never been a fan of half nakeds, either (think Streetfigher). A true naked is a Monster 1200. I know people will say the Diavel is a cruiser. An Italian cruiser. Call it what you want, I'll pass.

[@Motomillion]

You need to go try one.
