I test rode a Harley FXDS and found it to be the most uncomfortable riding position of any bike. I had a V-rod prior to that and a Yamaha V-max. I had never ridden a Ducati before as I am a big guy but after the test ride of the Diavel 1260 s I bought one. The best bike I have ever owned, heaps of power, light and flickable, so comfortable and I didn’t need to spend 10K on screaming eagle parts to make it faster. Goodbye Harley hello Ducati.😎

Yep.I was a Harley guy for the most part and was going to buy a 2020 but the dealership had a memo that said not to offer lower than MSRP (showed it to me) and that the Bronx was cancelled.So I went to Ducati just to fool around and kill time.Left that day with my 2020 1260 :-)

Just came from a MT10 to a diavel 1260. I love it, and it has a fantastic motor with lots off torque. With the termignone exhaust its faster than my MT10 upp to 150 km/h. The best thing is that it dont need those ridicilous speeds to be fun as the MT10 inspired to. I like the Harley fat bob to but at around 70 hp stock its to uninspiring to drive. I cant have a bike under 100hp.

Nice review Mike. I bought this bike in the black with the red frame a couple weeks ago. It’s got a ridiculous engine. I also have a 2020 BMW RS 1250 which is fast and more comfortable, but this is a keeper for sure. This reminds me of more of a Muscle Car than a Ferrari. Just pure brute power.

Why does the ohlins suspension in comparison to the factory one are so much better or why everybody recommends those ones? I saw on an other video the S model was a bit stiffer and that the regular one a little bit more comfortable want to say it like that ?

First off unless you get the S model the Ducati is flat out ugly imo, secondly, Harleys are cruisers ( not power cruisers) although they are plenty fast (such as my 2020 fat bob 114).. You simply can't compare the Ducati to a Harley because the Harleys are perfectly happy in the low RPM torque range and the Ducati isn't (I don't care what you say) so there is nothing like a Harley...I'm sure the Ducati is much faster with it's 160 hp but you have to ride it hard to enjoy it, while the Harley is much happier just taking it easy. Compare the Ducati to a Vmax not a Harley.
