Ducati Diavel blows away stereotypes of moto bikes by being a lightweight yet sophisticated bike in design and fine handling. A perfect snack for the cruisers until now. Ducati has never disappointed the world with their use of technology and innovation in the making of bikes. The Diavel 2011 pretty much sums the same. This bike holds an outstanding degree of performance and covers the functions of a sport bike completely in a manner that never existed before. The Ducati Diavel made its amazing impression on MCN in the year 2011 and it won the Machine of the Year award. Yes, exactly the same year it was released.

He said, while driving the bike it had no hesitation, as the bike landed beyond his expectations. The performance was smooth and the feel while driving was extraordinary. It managed to face a tough competition with the BMW K1600GT, which is a six-cylinder bike, released on the time of UK's most desired motorcycle award.
Its ride quality and designing is a concept that is outstanding. Ducati has set up the Diavel with a low cruiser gait and fat back tyre, but its steering, sweeps and scratches are something built remarkably. The brakes are simply awesome making the ride completely smooth. However, the bike could be still improved by an addition of Ohlins suspension upgrade. It has an engine of Testastretta 11º similar to the Multistrada 1200. It liberates 12 extra bhp in order to produce a peak bhp o 162, which is quick enough then the 1198 from the speed range of 0-60mph. The fueling and delivery system in this motor bike is perfect. It gives the benefits of switchable riding modes that give the rider a choice to choose between three options i.e. an Urban (100 bhp), Touring (soft 162 bhp) or Sports (162 bhp). These characteristics makes this bike a quality of being a versatile one and one of the top motor bikes ever built.
Its build is constructed beautifully, the wiring and hosing is neatly hidden. The surface of the bike has either a glossy paint or a saucy carbon fiber. It comes with a good price value also, in comparison to its competitions i.e. Yamaha VMax and the Harley Davidson V-Rod. Ducati bikes have an extraordinary tech, quality and style. The most important of all the performance of their motor bike makes an impression on the rider.
Fan of high technology yet don't own a bike? Diavel surely deserves a try as it has an ABS, DTC and TFT instruments, and top spec brakes. The body comprises of Led head, tail and strip indicator lights, foot pegs that have detachable rubbers, billet mirrors and a large diameter. This large diameter consists of two lambda sensors, a catalytic convertor and a powerful valve. The Diavel is said to be a remarkable innovation.
