  • Dude is working hard lmao. He has to heave it like 10 times to get it to lean

  • Hahahaha this is Assen circuit right? Hahahaha brilliant!

  • Well... It's not a b-king that's for shure

  • Rode a VROD for 9 years.

    Nice bike but I bought one of these this summer.

    No comparison!

    The Diavel kicks serious ass.

    I love it.

    

  • Nice Bike, i like ducati, but i prefer a Harley,

  • at around 1:32, i was like "OMG HE'S ABOUT TO FOOTDRAG" lol

  • So HD riders do service a purpose, they provide alomony to the wives the DIavel riders now boink and get blown by.

  • Comment removed

  • what would happen if the rider took the Diavel out of urban mode on this track!!! Who knows what damage could be done ;0)

  • ducati 4ever

  • Not sure what all the Harley hate is about. Anyone with half a brain knows that Harleys were not built to do this and if you compare them too this or try to do this, your an idiot. They appeal to a completely different rider and riding style. You do not take your Cadillac Escalade to Laguna Seca, you take your Ferrari.

  • yeah i have both, and my 1198s dyno's 22whp higher than my diavel carbon. but both are sick and the diavel is an insanely cool bike. this track run is insane...I want to take mine out, but too much of a pussy :-) seems hard to load the pegs up and such in the normal seating position...you must have to hunker forward a bit and get up on the front of the bike to get off of it as well as he is.

    Outstanding video....That bike needs Termi's though ;-)

  • it kills me how a used vrod cost almost as much as a brand new diavel...wtf harley

  • If you went an bought a Harley Sportster for $10k and spent the other $6k on mods you would have a bike that was only marginally competitive... This coming from a Sportster owner. My dream bike is the Diavel. It's bigger and heavier than an 1198 so it can't brake as late and cant lean as far so it can't get on the gas as early. It is competition for ANY other bike of it's type. VRod, VMax etc, just be happy they didn't call it the V-Diavel...

  • Nice vid. Ducati Club Races @ Assen. I was there. What a nice event it is every year.

  • gotta love Ducati! this is their idea of a cruiser and it kicks ass in everything (speed, looks, sound, handling, and just overall performance)

  • il suono non è di un diavel

  • Am I the only one noticing that they put their asses off the bike to corner, but keep their upper body above the bike? according to themselves (MCN), you are supposed to have your head on the outside of where your mirrors would be when hanging off the bike...

  • @NorcanDiaboli

    No, I see it too. They're either not familiar with the track, don't know proper body position during cornering, or both.

  • sound fail...

  • LOVE IT!!!! A+

  • That might have been a good vid if it weren't for the screaming I4 sound track....sack the producer....no mic(s) on the Diavel!

  • VIDEO GAMES...

    

  • harley riders buy harleys because they vibrate the fat off

  • it hasn't got the power to out drag an 1198, its got a low center of gravity and is very long so it can apply more power to the ground off the line but the 1198 still has more hp. Its a detuned 1198 engine.

  • this bike looks like a Star Vmax. Was a Vmax the inspiration for this?

  • scheiss auf harley

  • la ducati diavel sur le circuit d'assen !!!! superbe !!!!!

  • the chicane at turns 8 and 9 has been ruined!

  • the chicane at turns 8 and 9 has been ruined!

  • Assen!!! fucking great track!!!!

  • @xrispan Was better when it was longer! Shame they chopped a bit off the original track. It was way faster before they did that.

  • I feel there should be some words that go with this video...like why it doesn't work too well at the track...

  • in my mind that bike shouldnt be doing that...

  • al harley riders are dirty old guys

  • the diavel is a good bike, no doubts at all!

    but its not fast!

  • @BKingAndy mate if you find me a cruise bike that can go that fast on track, then I rest my case. Am pretty sure though that you wont! Don't compare different bikes mate! Next time you will tell us that the scooter T-max is a nice bike but it's not fast!

  • @Plutonas78 how about a bking? :)

  • @BKingAndy Thought you were taking this seriously!

  • @Plutonas78 ofc

  • wait, what?!?! IT GOES around corners, wouldnt you know, the world will really end on 2012

  • Holy Shit!

  • Sweet! Assen TT racetrack. Flat like a pancake and fast as f*ck!!

  • I view it more as a muscle bike, not a cruiser.

  • Damn, I need a new battery for my bike... ASAP

  • Damn...that bike is gooood. Try it with the V-max... :)

  • yes would like to hear from the rider... Wonder if those were at the limits of it's lean angles before it starts to drag hard parts? One day soon I might get off my 10 year old sport bike and get something different but would hate to lose the peformance.. this might be a good option

  • diavel will be my next bike, no doubt in my mind

  • I never seen a cruiser handled so well.

  • The camera bike sounds like a 600cc 4 cylinder sports bike to me!

  • yeah pretty kewl, for a cruiser type bike, did better then I thought it would do on a track.. but image if the diavel had forward controlls, LOL!!

  • Too bad the driver doen't know how to follow the fastest line , looks a bit unsecure in the curves. Maybe he's to busy trying to get his knee on the pavement haha.

  • Dear Harley riders, see what the guy was doing on the cruiser? Getting his knee down, do not try this. You will fall and cry.

    While your polishing your chrome, a Diavel rider is taking off with your wife.

  • @ZagatoZee :]

  • @ZagatoZee oh hell yeah

  • @ZagatoZee Dear ZagatoZee, do you see the HD xr1200 trophy in Italy?

  • @ZagatoZee

    absolutely true!!! If a Harley rider try to ride like that, there's no doubt that he is going to have a very close encounter with the floor!!! harley sucks!!!

  • @ZagatoZee Are you talking about taking off with our wives with your 1 seater bike? ok retard. Besides, life isn't a race, its a journey, and if you speed to get to where your going, you wont be able to enjoy the view life has to offer. You know why you fags dis harley's? Because your little Ducati isn't a Harley!! :)

  • @Slay3r117 just so you know its a two seater and thats just a cover over the rear seat, so before you go calling names you might want to get your facts straight, assuming just makes you look stupid ...just saying

  • @Slay3r117 You obviously know very little about the Diavel. I am a Harley lover but your just making us look bad. Try educating yourself on the subject before you talk. Then you won't sound like a jackass. Harley's serve a purpose. Generally that purpose is different than a Ducati. Harley's aren't exactly at the top of any superbike podium so easy there chief. Too each his own.

  • @spinball6 you say it right mate. Harleys have their ows target group. Not for track, not for B-roads! Easy riding and enjoying the scenery. No adrenaline whatsoever. No comparison whatsoever. Thank God motorcycle industry gives us, the consumers many many choices!!

  • @Plutonas78 It really depends on the rider,go to my channel and have a look at my video called 996 ducati holds up H-D fxdl.If I had a bit more grunt [it is stock except pipes and breather kit]I would have passed him in the straights and left him behind in the twistie bits.

  • @Slay3r117 the funny thing is the diavel is far more comfortable and handles better than any harley ive sat on.

  • @Slay3r117 Chill out man! We know Harley's have their use: straight lines and farm use.

  • clearly the 1198 is backing off

  • I want one!!!!

  • Try THAT with any other "power cruiser." :) It's probably still not the best choice for the track, but you've got to admit that the thing handles incredibly well for the kind of bike that it is.

    Still a Ducati! :D

  • i LOVE assen!!! :)

  • sounds phenomenal!!

  • at 1:10 + didnt that 1198 just 'out-drag' the diavel ??

  • @goonballer i think because it took the corner better, it then had a better exit so quicker overall.

  • @goonballer its not a drag race if you are moving already.

  • @goonballer look like an mv to me but i dono

  • @goonballer thats a race bike

  • @goonballer you might be right but I don't think so, no - there is a rear-facing camera shot of the Diavel just after the 1198 passes, which can only have come from that bike. I think the guy on the Diavel backed off a touch in order to let the 1198 past and take the film from in front.

    Also, the camera bike kept up with the Diavel no problem during the shot you describe - but when the Diavel is really opened up on a straight - right at the end of the film, it leaves the camera bike for dead.

  • @goonballer The one that drives behind him is driving on a R6. So probably not to difficult to out-drag the diavel with a 1198 ^^

  • @goonballer one word.... aerodynamics

  • @goonballer on paper the diavel is faster as it has a lower centre of gravity but conering is where the 1198 really wins

  • @goonballer Indeed, mate!

  • @goonballer you could see that the 1198 carried ALOT more speed towards the end of the corner, not surprising really

  • @goonballer

    could have been a full race 1198, never know.

  • @goonballer same motor, lighter race bike......physics says yes!

    

  • @goonballer No. The 1198 rider carried more speed out of the previous corner. It wasn't just motor.

  • I would prefer more talking in the video explaining what it was like to ride rather than just the lap. Just seeing the lap on it's own doesn't mean anything.

  • @Wash9102 search Diavel review, Im sure you will find lots of info about this bike! Its a Ducati, there you go. That should help you start.

  • @KecskeCat congratulations......noob
