  • 3k miles in 9 months? I had that on my new Triumph in two months, and it didn't work for two of those weeks.

  • @aluisious 3k since May not January. The bike didn't launch until February then became available in April/May.

  • what is the seat height on this thing?

  • @aaarsix As standard it's 770mm (30.3in) but i have fitted the Ducati Performance Touring seat (the only taller seat available) which makes it 40mm taller.

  • Thank you for your good review!

    I have mine since february 2011 and 15000 km done.. (lot of free time)

    and I think you really said everything I would say...

    Well Done!

  • Size 14?! You should be grateful your toes don't touch the tyre while manoeuvring the bike.

  • @maddasher123 true, but normally people would modify their bikes after purchasing them. I would.

  • Can we call them Muscle Bikes? well thats how i refer them? basically big powerful naked sport bikes, but not really a sport bike with a cruiserish look? the Vmax is a muscle bike too =P

  • What is the point of a long term test, or any test, when you modify the bike? It should be as it was on the showroom floor, that's what people will be purchasing.

  • I took your advise and use all modes :)

  • Size 14 feet!!! What trainers do you wear? Adidas Scooner or Nike Barge? :P Oh yeah.... nice review too

  • big massive fuel tank..

  • @filomanamamama

    2 can sit. there is a cover over the back seat. i once found a clip (can't remember it anymore) where it shows how u change it from seat to cover. very simple and easy.

  • @motorcyclenewsdotcom can the Ducati Diavel sit two or is it a bike for only one rider?

  • i'm 6'4''. Is it small for me? how about my knees?

  • This bike is very high on my wish list
