Ducati Diavel first ride

[@TheGsxrDemon]

love a sport criuser idea from duc. sounds like one of those pod racers from star wars when I was a kid

[@gregmcable]

I appreciate the articulate, energetic pace of your reaction. Informed and brief, I have no problem with your pacing.

[@DCGULL01]

The staccato pace of the entire video, along with all of the positive feedback, made the review sound like a used car salesman trying to do an elevator pitch in under 5 minutes. Unsure of his buyers wants, needs or desires- he makes sure that everything good about the bike makes it. Whew, Ian? I'm exhausted after watching it, now I need a nap! Content was good, very informative, but, I agree with most of the other 'posters'- it isn't a cruiser. But, it isn't a sportsbike either, and, I do like what it is. Sort of like something I would dream up. Well executed, different in every way, high quality gear, well made and probably long lasting to boot. Ducati doing something out of the ordinary- a good thing for all of us riders!

[@CMA212]

Does anyone else notice how well versed and articulate this man is?

[@fofalooza]

MCN, thank you for not muddying up the video with music. Definitely among the best, if not the best vid you've released. Ducati made this bike for me. Exactly what I've been looking for. You can tell that Ducati put a lot of thought into making it work like they wanted and I can't wait to see it in person and hopefully get a ride. Thanks for the great review and opportunity to see it go

[@jamo2006]

Whoever this guy is, let him do ALL the MCN reviews. He's really in a different class than the others. Great job, thanks!

[@Kremit_the_Forg]

In my opinion this is the first Ducati i really like.... look at the front!! What a badass bike!!

[@CTEKGUY]

Demo'd one today. Freaking fantastic! Ducati made a cruiser I can get down with. =) 1198 may have to wait, as I already have two sportbikes. Thank you Ducati! I wasn't sure when I first saw her online, then after seeing it in person and riding, I am sold. Very well done! LOVE the termi's on the one I demo'd..hehe.

[@idin1976]

This is probably the best MCN review I have ever seen. Good job guys!

[@cheetobrad]

That dude rocked! One of the best reviews I've ever seen. Kinda like a a Top Gear guy of motorcycles. Nice.

[@YamahaGuy89]

Motorcycle testing organizations, take a note from this video. Don't have stupid music or people talking imposed over the sound of the bike. MCN has done it right...just the glorious sound of high revving hp. :)

[@MrAndCad]

HAha! similar story. I was cruising around Pomona Beach, CA in my new Speed Triple thinking I had the baddest bike around. Im at a stop light and look back through my mirror to see the round Ducati Head light similar to the one on the Monster and thought "I own you...", then as the light turned green the older man wearing a hoodie and slip on textile shoes, riding with one hand on the bars passed me weaving through traffic with an incredible sound. I headed back to San Diego soon after.

[@nikonxxx]

I LOVED THIS REVIEW !!!!!!!! THE WAY HE TALK IS FAST LIKE THE BIKE AWSOMEEEEEE

[@royal3001]

Great review. I just love this bike, looks good, comfy for my old back side, and HD's are old have nothing new to offer. So it's great to see Ducati bring something new. Will try it out for sure.

[@Adeysworld]

Cool tech on the machine, I'm just not ready for a cruiser yet. But I like where they're going with this.

[@suprum]

test rode the carbon fiber model one yesterday here in Seattle- holy shit, what a machine!! great in so many ways:) bravo, ducati!

[@dazzelya]

I'm normally not into this kind of bikes but this one is sick!

[@Lessdeth14]

Excellent review. Informative, nice to look at, eloquent, puts it all in a context and perspective. Not to say the other reviews have been bad - by no means have they - but this review of a bike taking a class to a new level is, fittingly, taking your reviews to a new level as well. Great work.

[@submissions72]

Ducati bikes sound like BEASTS!

[@BikerDarren24]

Great sound, great looks and the power to go with it, great job Ducati :)

[@RosieKR]

@ruenin That's the camera. You can hear the nice VTwin note in there, I'm sure it'd sound much better in person.

[@supersayin1]

Amazing bike! If i were a cruiser fan this would be it!

[@ROXXEMBOXXEM]

True! Audi recently purchased Ducati and is now under their wing. I hope Audi keeps Ducati on its rise which it has been seeing these past few years :)

[@emerica420]

Nice review . I'm actually excited cant wait to go for a ride in one of these.

[@mnsouli]

I had the chance to ride the Diavel today, these are my comments Pros The bike does accelerate great. Comfy Seat Manoeuvring is fine at high speed Ducati DNS Cons You can't cruise over 140KPH without some kind of wind protection At 160KPH neck muscle are strained At 220 KPH I was holding on for dear life as the vibration and blurred vision ruined the moment. Seating position cramped for people 6 foot and above The seat although comfy does allow you to move much.

[@RonSheridan]

excellent review - matches my experience as an owner of this beast..

[@ViniciusScorpio]

First I thought there was some sort of forward setting in my video, he talks way too fast! Now, he´s good and better, I l liked it.

[@medowatcher]

2019 and I can finally afford to get myself a Diavel! Excited to pick it up in the coming weeks! --and yes the presenter needs to slow down again but then again MCN has dramatically changed from the year 2011

[@pbjLUBESTER]

best camera work you guys have done in a review. sound still needs a little work, reviewer needs to speak slower. but great job guys!

[@dnganga]

Hey guys, your reviews are really well done, keep up the good job mates!

[@cakeisalie]

finally, a first Diavel ride video... I've been actually waiting for this, because I'm just curious how the Diavel is in general :)

[@bazaligembex]

Just put a deposit down on one in black for march delivery in the uk subject to a test ride. I hope it will do everything a bit better than my Harley Fat Bob that I'm trading in.

[@GOBbluthagain]

that rear tire is just epic....

[@chezdez102]

@didierrL01 I think at the end of the day its just what you like some like offroader some crusiers. If they want to spend a lil more on the bike and servicing and such then i think they would enjoy riding more knowing what they have put it thru.

[@RESET1776]

@alexskylarking Thank You, I always wondered who the voice for everyone was...........

[@CMA212]

I think he's actually very articulated when we speaks. even though he talks fast its not hard to understand him.

[@BurnRubberL12]

im not really a fan of cruiser bikes but this one is proper nice!

[@Dreadzedan]

@MrRyyder Yeah this bike kicks ass now and will win people gradually, especially when you turn up at a light and you have far more presence than a ninja, and will blow him away in a straight line and handle yourself around corners and still be more comfortable.(ninja riders hates nothing more than for someone to stand out more than he does and not be able to zoom pass them) this is something new and welcomed, a hybrid cruiser/sport masterpiece, that i think alot of manufacturers will follow.

[@scorpion251970]

That things a beast from the future.

[@TheBrucehump]

@1pirate89 I have to disagree with you, this is the best looking bike o the road today. Vrod probably is the nicest looking Harley but no at patch on this Ducati. I will be test riding one as soon as the spring arrives.

[@tofinorob]

Just signed in, to comment on the speed of this guy talking, then I realised, so has everyone else...lol!

[@DaShnipa]

@Rtype1000 the v-max is a V4 my good man, so no it won't sound like a traditional cruiser :) Back on the point, an absolutely gorgeous bike I wish I had the 20k Cdn for one, I'd have it in a heartbeat.

[@Rtype1000]

@1986Chaitanya O and V-max does? Open exhaust and it will rumble like hell. Cruiser dosent mean it has to have, V2 from WW2. LP

[@clakeogh9]

God, that bike's a beauty...

[@harlequin2614]

@ganil594 around 18k for regular diavel and around 20k for diavel carbon

[@kavkazgoris]

@TheMooee I know that owns a toyota yamaha. But the Japanese tales the highest quality. I checked on my personal experience

[@synkuk]

Decent review :) and pleasingly more weighty than the usual MCN fluff ..

[@ilpi]

@SatinBlackBike here in malaysia u got the B-king half the price of diavel...

[@sgtunix]

Good review, overall.

[@Trotters222]

If there was a sport in talking fast this guy would be world champ!

[@exia78]

good vid like a vmax and will change class like Fireblade did? I want one.

[@julingy]

very cool bike! i want one!

[@valefur72]

Molto più bella dal vivo, sta moto...

[@ilpi]

@yongokngek the carbon fibre will cost around 160k

[@riseofthefallen301]

superb review, great job, great bike!

[@Dreadzedan]

Did people actually believe Ducati would produce a big heavy useless cruiser (performance wise) like a Harley no offence. true Ducati enthusiast should have known from the start that Ducati only makes kick ass sporty high performance bikes, which this is, so don't go comparing it to a Harley or even a vmax, this is something new and wonderful.

[@ilpi]

@Wowmasta21 sorry, 160k malaysian currency...not sure how much the are selling this in europe

[@nickboomer94]

I love think Ducati model but after this hearing the sound in this video, it doesn't sound like I expected.

[@tango165]

Awesome review...

[@powersliding]

nice review, classy

[@AndreaPessino]

Fantastic review! I am sooooooo getting one... :)

[@RESET1776]

@dazzelya LMAO, so the answer is if you wish to see the whole bike we are reviewing you should google it? That's a good one.

[@MoncoCarser]

Looks quite nice. Would so love to test it :p

[@c8myotome]

keyless ignition? not sure how i feel about that....is there a way to disable it so people don't run off with your bike?

[@minimaldirection]

italian craftsmanship at its finest...

[@maxythecuber]

Hey guys , I'm just about to buy a Bike but which is better ? Ducati Streefighter S or Ducati Diavel ? Not better in just looks but also Performance :) , great help if someone could answer this please .

[@RESET1776]

@dazzelya Thank you for telling me what I may have seen. The point is it's hard to call anything a review without showing what you reviewing. I am sorry that I didn't know I was to search out photo's on my own to see the product being talked about. If I was whining I would have told you that a motorcycle reviewer should know that a motorcycle has many things on it & how got's isn't even a proper word.

[@Cerebrum72]

very good looking bike :-)

[@MoebiusPan]

@bumblepup Poser bike, most definetely; thats a matter of opinion ofcourse. However I do think the diavel is substantially lighter than b-king, which will have an impact on performance and could overpower the 20bhp difference. Anyone done the calculations?

[@eebsy]

@MoebiusPan Yes, I did, you mug. What I'm saying is that you can understand why I would have misunderstood.

[@CatDMacLeod]

It's not the machine for me...I picked up a Multistrada instead. Diavel sure is sexy though at a distance and close up. Riders are going to be very impressed by the engine. Well done Ducati this machine pushes the industry forward.

[@blipco5]

The Diaval, Ducati's V-Rod. What purpose is this bike for?

[@PrashantJaiswalbhaiji]

woa... somebody gotta catch a flight or something??

[@carbonarc23]

Great vid', great review, I want one :)

[@0191wayne]

never been into cruzers sports bikes all the way for me : )

[@bomdesolation]

A mechanic that tells you a Ducati means problems, is simply a mechanic that is uncapable of working on one. I had 30.000 carefree km's on my ST2 with nothing more than normal maintenance.

[@anzu1504]

Diavel to kwintesencja motocykla !

[@War3lephant]

I think you should only be able to review a Ducati if it has termingoni exhaust

[@chungdha]

Great vid but buy a proper mic m8!

[@callumfreeman91]

4:14 I genuinely thought it was about to tip..

[@KDD8]

i nominate this guy to do the Barrett Jackson Auction show

[@dav4ix]

i mean .. love ducati and this things looks fabulous, but the exaust sound isnt as good as you would expect.

[@hydroboy35th]

@liverpoolboy789 listen to a clip of one with the termignoni exhaust :)

[@slspg]

I want one!

[@dazzelya]

@RESET1776 How hard is to it use Google? You can find all the images you want.

[@bathwhoreE]

This Will be my Next Bike.

[@samuraix997]

damn dude calm down, i ride a ducati 1198 but i want a diavel cause it look enjoyable too ride. i just want a nice bike where i can just enjoy the road and the fresh air

[@K31TH3R]

Did Zero Punctuation start doing bike reviews? Nice.

[@Erich2142]

@tramagacity they do sound good and look good but ducatis suffer from electrical problems and thats what worries me, i wont buy the 1199 until i get a good feedback from an actual owner

[@dogg5306]

@fireyphoenix1989 Maybe you should get the optional faster brain kit! (knowing that English isn't my mother tongue!)

[@WinSomeLoseNone0]

@bumblepup Lets see a B-King handle like the Diavel, let alone attempt to keep up in a straight. Look up the video of Diavel on The Dragon.

[@bloodpig101]

@acidangelster No contest...DUCATI! A Diavel and a 1198 SP and my garage would be perfect...(also maybe a Vyrus!...and maybe a Fatboy...and ofcourse a NCR M16...and let's not forget about a ZX-10R...a BMW K1300R would also be nice!)...!

[@Quattordici]

Please note that not only native speakers are listening to your reviews! Slow down a bit...

[@weeeezzll]

Mic that guy up or normalize the audio so the volume and sound quality doesn't jump up and down every time you change camera angles.

[@jezuz12345]

He said it's got ABS? Are you sure? The versions I've seen over here do not come with ABS.

[@SoFloLuca]

I Love my Diavel...

[@jackwsr]

The footage has been rendered at the incorrect frame rate (24>30) (i.e speeded up). He does talk rather fast anyway, but not this fast ;)

[@nathaniel000]

his mouth is faster than the bike! i cant sincronized!

[@stusixtyone]

is it pillion friendly ? i want to swap my gsx1400 and the wife is very particular about her comfort.

[@RubberDuckDancing]

does anyone know were i can find a piece o junk bike for cheap just to fix up? thanks a lot [=)
