The 2011 Ducati Diavel

[Goop]

The 2011 Ducati Diavel has leaked ahead of its debut in a few hours at EICMA, showing us the final lines of Ducati’s performance cruiser. Performance is the key word here with the Ducati Diavel boasting features like: 162hp Testastretta 11º engine, 94 lbs•ft of torque, 456lbs (carbon) / 461lbs (base), ABS, traction control, ride-by-wire, and three riding modes. Other features include keyless ignition (as found on the Multistrada 1200), a split dash (as we revealed earlier), fold-up passenger pegs, and a Carbon version of the Diavel which sheds 5.5lbs of weight over the base model by adding carbon fiber body panels and Marchesini rims.

Beast!

I'm not a huge Ducati fan, but I have to admit I kinda like it!

 

[Kazza]

Kinda weird. Kinda hot.

Can't make my mind up

I'm afraid it's not doing it for me.

And the little rear fender leaves an uncovered portion of the rear wheel from the tail light down to the fender near 45 degrees, which is going to break the same law as the fender eliminator, so I can't see it coming into Aust looking like that.

Ducati has it up on their site officially now.

:drool:

Ducati Diavel - Ducati Diavel, Ducati Diavel Carbon

No official pricing info, but others are saying $16995 USD for base and $19995 for carbon

I think it's kind of weird to be honest.

I like the exhaust, the gauge cluster and the seat position is interesting. The rear is just so extremely different from anything else out there. I think the front is kind of boring. The turn signals are cool, but the headlight and shroud... they really could have done more.

It gives me a feeling of mish-mash, and I think a more extreme or exotic front end would really bring it together.

whomever came up with that license plate holder should be beaten with a sock filled with dead batteries.

That thing is ugly :spank:


Expect better from ducati. Looks like they threw together a bunch of different ideas and got away from a whole theme of the bike unless that theme was weird.

Exhaust from V-Max. I like the compact design, but it doesn't look like it corners well.

Wouldn't buy it, which is sad cos it is actually WAY ahead of it's time in terms of design innovation.

Dont like it...looks awkward...but i bet it would be a hoot to ride...it's got the motor!
