Hello Jay: Thanks for this great website. I'm an 78 year old guy that has a very long bike riding history. British origionally and emigrated to Canada when I was 15 Y/O. I started with a 47 Ariel 500cc, single, basket case and then a 1950, 1000cc Square Four. I then had a bunch of them. I usually bought them in pieces , fixed them up and sold them. The last Square four. (One of the last!) It was a 1957, Series, 2. It was really smooth, and very quick. I had a twin 700cc twin Royal Enfield and then moved over to Hondas. I had three Honda, 4 cylinder bikes and a 250cc single scrambler, the last Honda I had was a early '90s 900 cc inline 4, a great bike. I 'm staying in the Baja, Mexico at this time and have just finished refurbishing a 2005, 798 cc Ducati Monster Twin. What a great bike!! I loved working on it an even rode it for a bit. Anyway , I'd like to thank you again for your really great web site , I really enjoy everything , your really eclectic collection of great bikes and cars. I Also had a few nice Brit cars, a "57, 6 cylinder E-Type 4.2 liter , 2+2 , in British racing green also a '74 XJ12 also in BRG and so on. Jay, I tell people that If I ever come back in this world, If I have a choice, I would love to come back as Jay Leno. Thanks again for all you do Jay. Terry Southgate

[@russellcupples2170]

Jay ( if I may ) I want to thank you once again for allowing us drooling guys and gals to see the automotive world that we would never really get to see . Your a down to earth gentleman and I respect that .

[@k.k.hickey4624]

Jason seems very knowledgeable of his own brand. A lot of times Jay gets these CEOs and Presidents on here who don't know what the hell they are talking about and almost make themselves look foolish. This is a nice change.

[@nuggethead008]

Totally agree...he talks almost like he was a gearhead (and maybe he is). Have to give some props for that.

[@saddle8bag]

I don't think either of them talked like they knew anything. Jay kept talking about crank torque and con rods and the CEO talked about unlinking breaks to "flat track" it. Wonder if he's ever had to make a U turn? And a "tractable" 156 hp. Yeah it's tractable because the electronics cut the ignition to keep the tires from spinning. You could get the same *real* power across the band with a much less powerful and less complex machine. On the bright side, he didn't wear a tie.

[@voltairian2]

He’s a total gearhead. Great guitarist too.

[@skipsassy1]

CEO is just the starter job right? Get real. Audi makes billions and shareholders expect more than a comic.

[@Lavaman3682]

Other than forgetting the Ducati Nevada...

[@Armedlegally]

One of these days I'd love to shake Jays hand, He's a real down to earth kinda guy period. He's genuinely into motorcycles and cars and understands their beauty, grace, styling and the freedoms you get while riding these terrific machines. Thanks Jay!

[@jimtomstimpson1477]

+Armedlegally I watched this and had a similar thought. Just a guy in blue jeans , not designer blue jeans . Just a regular guy that has been really blessed and sharing all this with us . If I ever watched anything in a binge manner, it would be Jay Leno's Garage. A true automotive enthusiast and historian to the marrow that we all benefit from.

[@bluelghtning]

My wife and I spent 3 days leading the XDiavel demo days in Atlanta, GA earlier this year. It was a last minute deal for us to lead the rides and up to that point, neither one of us knew anything about the new XDiavel. I was familiar with the original Diavel, but not the new XDiavel. Surprisingly for both of us, we came away after 3 days or finding the bike totally impressed by the XDiavel. My wife especially who is not a fan of cruisers at all and is on the petite side was totally in love with the bike. Even though it appears on the larger side, she loved riding it and found it so easy to ride it aggressively. Ducati did a great job with this bike! Another surprising aspect we found from the demo rides is that we would start everyone in touring mode to give them the full power, but not the snappiness of sport mode. They could take a 2nd ride and then we would show them how to change modes and try them all. It turned out quite a few people actually enjoyed Urban mode, especially in that 35-55mph range. We ourselves felt that Urban mode worked very well and gave the bike a nice kick in the lower RPM grunt area. Sport mode was certainly a lot of fun when you really wanted to kick it up. There were a couple places we really got to lean the bikes over and again I was blown away with how much lean angle you could get from this bike and how well it handled in the turns! Great review Jay!

Good video.When the CEO of Ducati talks Jay crosses his arms like he's not really interested in what he says as Jay knows pretty much the answers.When Jay talks he unfolds his arms.When the CEO had more to say Jay starts up the bike,LOL. Classic Jay.I like Jay because of his quirks and the cool person that he is as nothing really fazes him.

[@PeterPaoliello]

+Johnny Nightrider I had the same impression from the video. The CEO was an excellent listener, he waited for Jay to finish everything he was saying, not jumping in too early as if he was just waiting for his time to talk.

[@andrewdynes5300]

I guess when you're a talk show host for 20+ years you get used to being in charge of the conversation, lol.

[@dude24471]

+Andrew Dynes - Definitely true. A master conversationalist if you will? Lol

[@adamf5541]

+Johnny Nightrider I felt a little bad for the CEO in this one. The disrespectful regard from Jay was quite clear and I wondered what was underlying it. The comment 'at least your not wearing a tie' was quite telling. Jay seems to really like the guys who do the build themselves the real visionaries and it seems he hasn't got much time for the suits. Can't blame him... I thought the bike was really interesting and striking too!

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

+Johnny Nightrider so true,he's a master of asking questions then when they begin to reply he wanders off to look at something else or interrupts hahaha cracks me up

[@TwoWheelObsession]

The first thing I said to the wife when I got home from reviewing it last week was I'm glad I don't have an extra 22k laying around because I'd have a new XDiavel S in the garage!

I got home and cried for the same reason 😭

[@davidc1961utube]

You have wife, therefore you do not have 22k “laying around”. Hopefully she is more fun than a Diavel.

[@THEBODYPRACTICE]

I really like the narrative from Jay as he rides that bike- real time commentary is a valuable piece of feedback!

[@tomw6308]

Getting back into riding after a decade off. Jay brought my attention to this bike and I drove one this weekend. Gorgeous bike and so fast and nimble for a cruiser. Really is a class of its own. You can find these a lot cheaper used now as well.

[@ahmetkrom]

me too.... I think he loved it

[@zoebettina]

?? He didn't like it

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great to see the master back on 2 wheels - seemed decidedly non plussed by the whole affair when in the garage but seemed to lighten up a bit when on the road - you can always trust 2 wheels to make you feel better! ...and I agree, California is a fabulous place to ride a bike, loved my time on the vanilla Diavel there this time last year.....great bike....

[@TBagr]

As the owner of a 2020 XDs now for 4 years, I can tell you it is fantastic in stock form but once you add the Termi exhaust with the upmap, it’s simply amazing. Wakes the bike up like you can’t imagine and it sounds unbelievable.

[@UnknownProdrive]

There you go Harley Davidson. That's how to make a cruiser that's not only comfy but also fun. A cruiser that will perform when you want it to.

[@barackblows1942]

You need to add a Stage 6 on the Harley for an extra $6,000.00 to get it up to 130hp.

[@idabrhinosblood6413]

stage 1 on my v rod and I'm at 113hp

Every time I see Jay's garage videos I get a little more dead because I will never have as cool as a any car as he has, but then I'm alive again because he has the best garage ever.

I know there's a bunch of old motorcycle riders out there that'll give me crap and I do want like a 1940s War II Style Harley Kickstart or a 1970s Harley Kickstart but but this motorcycle is got to be one of the best-looking coolest versatile bikes I've seen in a long time and I've got to get one I've never ridden before I'm 36 and I still want this bike bad enough to go ahead and save the money to get it probably take me to three years to save the money to get it but I think this is the best bike I've seen in a long time

XDiavelS welcome to my garage, just bought one woohoo...done 300 miles so far and very impressed. Liked the look of the bike but was worried about the Ducati reputation of reliability. Anyway after watching numerous reviews and consultation with owners of (post Audi) Ducati bikes I decided to get one. Very very pleased.

[@DJMotoVlogs]

This bike is a good fit for you Jay!

[@kentaylor2318]

Really enjoyed your report on the 701. I have recently bought a 401 Svartpillen and cannot believe how fantastic it is. I ha only positives too say... not a single negative.. it’s not a super bike or a Harley, but my mate has a Harley and wants to swop Out with me. It’s just ticks every box.. Beautiful power range, amazing brakes and at 155kg in weight it is just a pleasure to ride. You just fee in total control on the road and on the dirt. I’m 63 years old. I have found my dream bike. No it’s not a KYM duke, it’s a brand new Husky 2018 technology. You need KZbin one to appreciate what I’m saying ... Cheers, Ken Taylor

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

As always, Jay does not let someone finish what he was saying :D right before Jay started engine :D

[@rockafella1690]

Haha, just thought the same thing. "I'm bored with what you are saying...time to start the engine."

[@ajking913]

Yup. Can't tell if that's 'age+running out of time', or if it was 'nobody cares what you're talking about, I wanna hear it running'. Either way, it equals 'rude'.

[@bardlishthemagnifico]

I so appreciate the gracious approach that Jay takes to these. Even if it has a characteristic he doesn't like he is ok with saying "I am not crazy about that but it is still a really nice bike!"

[@themotochannel]

Ducati marketing dept: "we need to increase sales in the US: we need to sell a cruiser" Ducati accounting: "we don't have the money to develop a completely different bike." Ducati marketing: "fock it, just move the footpegs forward on the diavel, change the model name slightly by adding the letter X, and call it a cruiser" Ducati accouting: "That works for us." Jay @ 15:05 "I guess technically it's a cruiser cause of the feet forward thing."

[@HumbertoYi0878]

The Moto Channel the share something like 5 parts across the bikes. The motor and frame isn't even the same

[@ronaldreed7698]

The Moto Channel theu needed to make it vibrate, rattle and leak oil... lol I jest, doesnt have to leal oil...

[@ninjakat8922]

Your comment was funny but not true.. :/ They look similar but the similarities are very little. The engine is different, the Diavel makes 160hp and revs higher and the X revs lower, makes 156hp and because of the adjustable valves it makes torque earlier. The suspension components and set up are different, the steering geometry, drivetrain is different as well.

[@chrism2794]

My friend there are a few more additions and changes to the bike other than just the foot pegs. But that was funny.

[@Freakyfetus]

I have a 2014 nightrod used to think it was fast and fairly nimble hhahaa!! I bought the xdiaval s both bikes in my garage now !! The xdiaval is all engiene with a little seat strapped onto back of engiene it is a violent animal when you open her up !! I thought vrod was like that but now i get on brod seems like old slow slug now !!! But still live the vrod glad to own both makes my day walken into my garage hahahha

Thank you for the great videos Jay. You are awesome! The look of this bike is polarizing for sure. I've always been a sport bike rider. I hated the way it looked until I rode one. Then bought a used gen 2 Diavel a week later. Now I admire it's design every time I see the bike. It demands attention in public as well. It's like driving around an exotic car.

Those forward foot pegs are so cool for the first thirty minutes or so and then you discover that it’s really difficult to shift your weight off your coccyx and before you know it, your entire butt and lower spine are aching! Most bikes have their pegs in the middle....there’s a good reason for that!

[@flibbertigibbet6200]

Owned one for 4 yrs and can say I have never suffered any back pain due to this bike, True it can give you a good kick through the spine when hitting a big hole but since I softened the rear up it's perfectly acceptable now.

[@bongowit]

This is probably one of the most honest reviews of the XDiavel yet... It really solidifies what you want to believe about the XDiavel. Although every motorcycle magazine already said it - they were all put up by Ducati in L.A... kinda hard to talk trash about a bike after you've been hanging out with Ducati legends, eating their food and drinking their booze for 48 hours... I want this thing SO BAD!

[@elad2276]

Ducati has a demo ride truck rolling around right now full of these things. I rode one yesterday and had a pretty good time.

[@kazman500]

[@megaman4135]

996 is my ducati all time favourite..nothing can top that badboy.

[@greenmanreddog]

I think you are the first person on the planet not to be blown away by the Diavel's low-end torque... 130Nm at 6000RPM gives a very special experience, you just have to twist the throttle!

[@bigredc222]

Low end torque means torque at low rpm, 6000 is not low rpm.

This Duc has a single-sided swing arm, an exhaust system that is part of the bike's design (rather than slapped on the side as an afterthought), and that ridiculously '80s rear fender hangin' off the back. Sure, a Vmax will get you where you want to go, but the XDiavel S will get you there in style.

You should test the Triumph Rocket 3

You're great Jay! Your tv show is great too!

[@offramp100]

Great! A bike that is not into "Fat Acceptance" ;)

[@Rocketninja200]

+john milton Soon Harleys will have dual wheels!

[@ronaldreed7698]

Rocketninja200 theu do! You wouldn't believe the bikes here in Fl with training wheels, four full sized wheels.

This motorcycle videos from Jay are great, but they remind me of my tired old 1988 Honda BROS that needs a bit of work.

[@Braselton21]

If you can't decide between a Cruiser and a Sports bike BUY This :D

[@jesseonamotorcycle]

100 percent true

[@randylockhart7486]

Loved your side of the road chat Jay. Keep these coming

[@kochj0713]

Forget this bike give me that OLD RED ONE BEHIND YOU!

[@henrykoester6770]

thanks jay got more out of this than their video

[@nickb3968]

I wonder how much the valve adjustments run.....

[@ldnwholesale8552]

+Nick B I suspect nothing has changed in maintenance costs!

[@nickb3968]

+LDN Wholesale I think that's what makes this a tough sell for people who put serious mileage on a bike, which many touring/cruising bike riders do. When they find out what it costs to do a valve job on these bikes they'll have heart palpitations.

+Nick B "If you have to ask" ;)

[@nickb3968]

+TassieLorenzo Very true-

[@MachOverspeedsPlace]

+Nick B About a thousand bucks. If ya' don't need new cam belts or whatever.
