Thanks for the comment Nudhi, For the time I had the bike I didn't notice any heat, ive ridden a Ducati before and know exactly what you are referring to. The temp of the day I took this bike out was low, around 13 degrees, so that may change when it comes to the summer and hitting 30+ degrees.

Another question is Multistrada V4S or the Diavel V4. Similar price point and engine. One is like the Swiss Army Knife and the later one is like a Bread Knife.

@DSR1YT

Жыл бұрын

Agreed. I’ve tested the multistrada and that was an awesome machine. Better than the Diavel in my opinion.

It is not 'basically a V2' when the rear cylinders deactivate, it is acting more like a parallel twin. I don't think it is really a bruiser cruiser; the XDiavel is a though. My first time on this channel, and I enjoyed the video. Will watch more. Thank you.

@DSR1YT

Жыл бұрын

Apologies Michael, i might not have articulated it very well by saying ‘basically a v2’. What i meant is how the bike/engine feels under the 4000rpm, a bit jerky and it feels like it wants you to go a bit faster to smooth it out. You don’t really get this feeling with the parallel twins. If that makes sense…! Glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment. Good to have you on board!

Besides the snatchy throttle, any other concerns with how the bike rides?? How does it stack rank with your favorite bikes?

@DSR1YT

Жыл бұрын

This bike sits in a funny category in my mind, it's a funny mix between a cruiser and a lowered naked bike. It's not real relaxed like some cruisers out there, definitely more aggressive in that sense, and if you want to get on it in the twisties you won't be worrying about scraping those pegs. Other than the throttle it would probably be some of the vibrations coming through the bike, but they are trying something new with the front two cylinders and this is the cause of those vibrations. It's Ducati, you either love them or hate them as they do things differently to the rest of the bike market half the time. Ride Safe.

I own this bike and I haven't seen any snatchy-ness while cruising through town or any vibrations.

All Diavel V4s are coming from the factory with their mirrors slightly out of alignment. Get your dealer to adjust to the marks on the bars before the handover.

@DSR1YT

Жыл бұрын

As mentioned in the video, this is a demo bike ive taken out to conduct this review video on, not my own personal bike. Out of alignment is a massive understatement. Ive never had a mirror that I can't put in to the right position myself. I shouldn't need a mechanic to align a mirror.

Why you say V2? When running on front cylinders only, it's more like I2 (inline TWO)

@DSR1YT

Жыл бұрын

When I said this I wasn’t really referring to the physical layout of the engine. More the fact of how the bike felt under 4000rpm, a bit jerky and not particularly smooth, some traits which you get with a v2 engine. Apologies if I didn’t articulate it properly in the video. Hope it makes a little more sense now. 😁

I’d go more in it. I sat on the street fighter afterwards and that was like I was perched on top of it, a very strange stance for a naked bike. The Diavel is a very comfortable riding position, not aggressive on any of its angles Ie wrists, knees etc.
