It's goodbye to the Hornet, you will be missed. Well maybe as had this delivered to replace it - just ran her in and had the oil changed. Can't wait to open her up Twisted Evil

I really don't "get" powercruisers in general tbh and the Diavel I find really wierd, every single photo i've ever seen makes it look horrific, but I saw one in person and it looked fantastic. Still don't get them though, But hey, your ride, not mine.

Enjoy it =]

It's a 1200 twin (162 bhp).

I know what it looks like but it really isn't a power cruiser. I won't try and force my views on anyone as it would seem biased, but for anyone who hasn't ridden one, take one for a test ride.

I was very very surprised by the power, handling and brakes.

They're just awesome, such presence.

Particularly liked the 'Bike' magazine review of it in which they stated 'wheels in different postcodes and a back tyre like a paddle steamer' Laughing

But they get seriously good reviews and apparently bend the rules of their class.

I would Thumbs Up

This moves the numberplate to the more usual position:

Might be one of my only mods, as I usually swap the exhaust but this thing sounds loud as standard.

I don't tend to change exhaust because of noise, More so because standard cans on modern bikes look like horrific.

Never ridden one, but would looove to have a go...
I actually like the looks of it Thumbs Up


(....but £179.99 for a tail tidy?? Shocked )


edit: there's actually a test ride day at a local dealership tomorrow, but a lack of sleep, plus a 12 hour night shift, and I don't think I'll be in a fit state to ride anywhere tomorrow Rolling Eyes

The rear view I like. The front is fugly.
The technology I like, and from all accounts it handles like a normal bike. The sound from the standard cans is pretty nice too.

Enjoy.

Testastretta 11°
ducati.com wrote:
A desire to make the World Superbike engine accessible to everyone resulted in the design and creation of the brand new Testastretta 11°, a motor that's a racer at heart and yet ready for long-distance touring or everyday urban use.

So named because of its minimised 11° of ‘valve overlap’ - the interval of crankshaft rotation during which both intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time - the new Desmodromic power plant not only transforms the Testastretta Evoluzione’s world championship-winning 41° configuration into a super-smooth motor for sport touring, but also improves fuel efficiency, emissions and cost of scheduled maintenance.

The Testastretta 11° is an engine for all environments and the perfect ‘game-changer’ for the four-bikes-in-one concept.

https://www.ducati.com/bikes/diavel/performance/testastretta_11/index.do

Same motor as the Multistrada, which itself is just a retuned and played with 1198 lump iirc.

Oh and another thing; It's faster 0-60 than the 1198 Wink

Definately very cool! I can't see how anyone on todays uk roads would want a new litre sportsbike over somthing like this tbh!

The question i want to ask is how does this thing compare to the new V-max, in terms of the handling and the riding experience? I'd quite like a V-max or something like that these days tbh!

p.s. Triumph have a corking motor in the Speed triple, so how long will it be before we see thier take on a performance cruiser style bike?

I have my plate mounted on the side and it looks much better IMO.

Also I bought the Remus Hypercone (Carbon fibre one) at the Bike Show last year. It looks and sounds much, much better than the stock cans.

Great bike and a hoot to ride. I'll post some pics of mine later.
