Diavel delivered

[shamone]

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

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 =]

[shamone]

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.

I like everything but how the numberplate bracket thing is I'd consider having 1 tbh..

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


(....but £179.99 for a tail tidy?? )


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

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.

I'm still letting the styling grow on me, it's just so different to anything else out there.

[JoeDougieDoug...]

That looks crazy!

I like it!

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 like it apart from:

The headlight.
The 62Inch Wheelbase.
The low back end.
