Ducati Diavel Walk-Around

Gabe Ets-Hokin of MotorcycleDaily and CityBike magazine gives his post-ride impressions of Ducati's first cruiser in a generation: the Ducati Diavel.

The "Motociclismo" stickers are on the bike because a Mexican journalist was riding it...Gabe has not gone south of the border.

@Caci987 Exactly!

Good job on the video. As for the bike…not to be a hater but, bleck yuck patooie. It’s like the love child of a Monster and a B King, I mean fine, if you happen to wear a latex mask, pal around with a kid named Robin and want an over compensating Gotham bar hopper, but a sport cruiser is sort of like a Ferrari minivan. This one reminds me of an ugly criminal stuffed in a nice suite for court.

@crapulousxs Actually, I'll bet a Ferrari minivan would be pretty cool...

@ahmatta2010 My mistake! Apologies...

Best walk-about review I've seen yet thanks Gabe! I find that I am wowed with the performance and the overall attention to detail and quality but I struggle to get past the styling (overstyled perhaps?).

Again, no question that it's a bike with the goods and no doubt fun as all heck to ride. Sigh...I think i'll wait for a gen-2 model and see if Duc has listened to folks like myself that are interested but have aesthetic issues squaring that curve.

crazy thing is I generally like ugly bikes.

I think you hit the nail on the head! This bike will sell to sportbike riders who are looking for something that's more comfortable but still performs. I know I want one!!!!

@kasareewa Are you being sarcastic?

[kasareewa]

Truly, the way you make the review is really a professional. Explaining everything in details without stopping and no script / camera man. In all that's one good review.
