I've been curious about this motorcycle for a few years now so today I rode out to a local Ducati dealer and took one out.
This is a Ducati Diavel; V4 1,158 cc 168 hp 465 lb. MSRP $26,995 The black one was the demo bike, but they do have a red available. (It'd be red for me) This ain't no Harley. ![]() |

Thomas is coming out as bike-curious.
I mean, I guess it really wasn't a surprise. NTTAWWT Edit: Those bikes aren't to my taste, personally, but I can recognize work of art styling, and they're no doubt scary fast. I wouldn't be coordinated enough to do justice to those bikes. |

Uncle has one. Well, ex-uncle. Aunt divorced him for spending her money on things like the Ducati lol
I imagine it feels like riding a goldwing except higher levels of smug. |

Beautiful motorcycles. Had 3 of them over the years. The “Ferrari” of motorcycles.

Pulled up some vids to hear what it sounds like. Was hard to hear anything with those tennis shoe wearing motormouths constantly yapping away. What little I did hear didn't thrill me.
HP isn't everything IMO. Gotta have the torque. Doubt it'd pull away from my Valk before I hit the aerodynamic drag wall. No problem though, I'm not a triple digit kinda guy. |

![]() Almost got squished from behind by a jacked up monster truck once. Stopped on a yellow light to let the oncoming car complete his turn. When I heard tires squallering up behind me I whacked open the throttle aiming to t-bone that turning car. The guy saw what was happening and pegged it to get out of my way. Super close call. Point being I hit 90mph in first gear... Letting off the throttle isn't much of an option when holding on has priority ![]() |

I appreciate the older 2 cylinder Ducs.
These newer models you posted, not so much. I'm too old for that. ![]() |

A friend recently picked up a Ducati Scrambler 800 for his first ride. He has no regrets after 4 or 5 months; even more so after adding a windshield.

I have yet to buy a motorcycle, as feel too many babes would be all over me, and I really need to limit that.

Sounds pretty good with an aftermarket exhaust inside a parking ramp

My dad only ever rode a motorcycle once and I was there to see it. Going downhill offroad he hit the front brake stopping the bike in its tracks. Rear end came up and he went over the handlebars. I bet that bike still lives in a box somewhere
