I sat on the Diavel today at a local dealer and my 6'3" frame fit perfect astride this machine. I am setting up a test ride soon. If it rides as well as it fits, I'm in! Thorough reviews like this help make this bike a truly viable choice for a cruiser like me who wants uncompromising performance. Cheers Ducati!
Agree with others on the review. Quite good. Wasn't sure if I'd like the look and styling in person, but went to look at one last night. Love it!! Riding position is extremely comfortable. I'm 5'7" and my feet have no problem resting flat on ground. Surprisingly light for it's size and appearance. Decided immediately I must have one. Not crazy about stock pipes, but hey, have to customize something, right? Will look at new "Chromo" model in a couple of months before making a final decision.
Great review! One of the most thourgh reviews I have seen on the Diavel thus far. Trying to gauge the seating position with your video. How tall are you?
I was concerned about the seating position as well. See my post above. Ducati dealer gave me a really nice Diavel book to take home when he saw the expression on my face and realized I was serious about buying one!! : )) ... It has all sorts of accessories and custom parts in it. Stock seat is great for me, but a "touring seat" is available that raises ride height a bit, and "low ride seat" is available that lowers ride height a bit. Hope that helps...
This was easily the best video on the Diavel I've seen on YouTube, and deserves FAR more views than it has. Thanks for doing it! Of course, my pocketbook hates you now for solidifying my choice of dream bike...
What better place to ride a bike like this than NZ?

You don't actually have to push that button on the top of the tank. You can use the button on the starter with your right thumb. :)

Forget MCN or anyone else: this review was much more thorough and yet still interesting than anything Top Gear Fifth Gear or autocar does!!!!
