Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 vs Ducati Diavel.mov

Griso dominates the turns!!! Diavel much faster down the straight with the extra 50HP. Lapping at Race City.

Ya,

That is as bad as it gets.

Race City is officially closed now.

[gianky74]

what to say....comical track!...you guys should experience a REAL circuit, with real bends!

[brianrg1]

@gianky74

Ya, we are limited in Western Canada.

That said, I just went through the California Superbike School 4 levels so I have had a little more exposure. My dream is to ride some tracks in Spain and Italy.

BTW, I own a Rocket III Roadster now. Do you think there's lots of differences between both rides? Best regards from Spain

@AlbertoMESELL

Hey Alberto,

I think there is huge difference between the two bikes.

I think the Diavel will handle through the twisties a lot better than the Rocket III.

As well the brakes on the Diavel are incredible.

Power??? The power will be close.

@brianrg1

Thanks a lot for the response, man.

I just came from the Ducati shop here at my hometown (Bilbao-Northern Spain), and I could check out the Diavel in person.....I´ll have a test drive by the end of the week, and I am afraid I will order a 2012 model....I'll go for the "Cromo" model....I love the retro Style it has, ;-)

I´ll keep the Rocket Roadster for those long trips and cruise-riding days, and use the Diavel for short (and more adrenaline-fun) rides ;-)

@AlbertoMESELL

That is awesome.

You will love the Diavel.

Enjoy!!!

La Diavel gratta con le pedane. Non è fatta per la pista...

Whoah, that track surface is terrible. I thought I was looking at an Adventure Ride !

[AlbertoMESELL]

Thanks 4 the comment. Got some other one driving through Paris-France, underneath the Eiffel Tower ;-) Hopefully I'll post some more soon, riding the Diavel !!!

[AlbertoMESELL]

Thanks man. If you got a minute check out my videos, and watch one named "ROCKET.AVI". It ain't as 'sporty' as yours but is pretty cool also. Leave a comment, plz

@AlbertoMESELL

Yes the pace was on the slower side.

It was a novice group because of the cruiser style bikes.

Later in the day the Diavel was flying down the front straight.

Unfortunately it could not maintain the same corner speed of the Griso.

Now the guy riding the Diavel was a big guy so that may have made it more challenging for the Diavel.
