Ducati Diavel

Postby GRAgusta » Fri Apr 12, 2013 7:16 pm

Moffat was the first time they came over the horizon for me.

The low seat is really inspiring for us shorties, the handling and power are ace.

It is really a lot of fun to ride. We will have the same wind blast, the same tank range, the same experience. So two the same makes sense.

But the old ladies (bikes!!) are for life so the garage is filling up ....

Mr. Spock is my role model so be advised; I possess no (discernible) sense of humour.

It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.

The looks of the Diavel are a challenge, but the riding experience certainly makes up for it.

I don't claim it looks pretty but we are enjoying the riding experience. It does have an imposing appearance.

The R1100S could be in the same non pretty but fun bracket, but bikes like that are way too large for my wife. The Diavel's performance and fun factor may put it ahead of the 1100, but then the BMW delivered two up. Bikes have so many facets and each delivers at a different level.

For performance with beauty I don't have to go far .... but my wife won't be with me.....

:wink:
