The XDiavel is growing on me slowly but surely. Great production guys. :)

Great vid. I was lucky enough to get a few days on a Diavel Carbon. It was one of the best bikes I've swung a leg over. I look forward to test riding an Xdiavel soon.

Great job. :) Loved the review guys.

I wasn't really hot on this bike when I first saw it in Milan a few months ago, but it's really growing on me. I'm jealous you got to ride it.

Hi Saajan. Thanks for the feedback. Jim is wearing a Nexx XR2 phantom.

very nice review. I have seen elsewhere some people complaining being too stiff an hurting your spine? what do you think about this? the country i live streets and roads are not anywhere close to europe or usa in general smoothness

did you notice any vibrations? and was the suspension hard?

Thanks for this great review... can I ask you how much tall you are?

what helmet does he wear in this vid? looks very cool

And the first gen was even better!

but does it keep working? coz multistradas and hypderstradas break every 2 minutes. and i am not joking.

Good review, I enjoyed it and do plan to get one. I think you get frustrated about this new found garbage I keep reading/hearing about 'L' or 'V' twin. they were always called V twin until recently when some clown at Ducati decided to be pedantic. Lets face it, when did American muscle cars use a 'L' 8 motor or why don't Honda call their bikes LFR instead of VFR ? All these use 90 degree angle engines but still call them V8 etc..

Best bike review channel yet. Subscribe to this channel. I promise you won't regret. Nice video.

Nice review. This thing has pillion pegs but I would defy anyone over a 4 foot midget be able to sit on the back. Does it come with other seat configurations?

The best cruiser I ever owned.

Very Cool video! Had a chance to try the bike myself, the acceleration is definitely a lot faster than any traditional American cruiser. But the bike handles somehow strange, at very low speed the turning radius is huge, because of the long wheelbase(over 1.6m) and 30 degree rake. At speed, it turns very light and quickly, but in the turn, it feels strange because the 240mm rear tire, the contact patch is far away from the bike's center line. The launch control is more a launch assist, you release the clutch progressively, without practice, launch control can be slower than "manual" start. With that much power underneath you, it's scary to release the clutch at full throttle and over 9k rpm. The foot pegs are high off the ground, to give that 40 degree lean angle, but for me it's too high, and too far forward. It could be a better bike, or better cruiser, if, the wheel base is shorter, the rake is smaller, the rear tire is 200mm, and the rider triangle is more neutral, less cruiser-ish. Looks awesome though. Everyone I meet says, that's a sexy bike!

had my doubts about the design, but I'm past that now.....the seating position at 2:23 doesn't really appeal to me though...i wonder how long a 6.2 foot man is supposed to feel comfortable on that....

I like this bike, but I'm not sure about the single swing arm. I have never owned a ducati, but I see mixed reviews on dependability. Having said that this bike is so bad ass I may have to chance it.

What is your jacket/ helmet? They look nicer than the bike :-p

I wants but its so damn expensive

It looks like something from the 21st century...wow, funny bout that....it is 2016... Seriously, thanks Ducati, you just finished off what resale value my 2013 Diavel had left... once bitten....

Ducati Xdiavel price. USA - 20.000 dollar. Denmark - 50.000 dollar.. We have the world's highest taxes..

"Technically" it's not an L twin, it's a V twin. L twin is purely marketing speak. Speaking in technical terms (what "technically" means when it's not being used by a social media twat) there's no reason to distinguish it from other 90 degree V twins. I have a Ducati with an "L twin," I think Ducati is great and everything, I still call it a V twin when I talk about it because that's what it is.

***** Twat wasn't directed at you, it was directed at people who use "technically" inappropriately, which was just a tangent. But since you want to be testy about it, I'll unsub. This review was boring and you barely post any content anyway. "Technically" there are way more V configurations than 45 vs 90, so even your explanation sucks.

I believe it. I finally got out to the dealership and checked it out. My wife even liked it, not to sit on the back mind you but that bike is so cool. I'm sold. now I just need the cash.

Yeahhh...that's my bike. The best review so far on this bike. Liked, shared and subscribed man. To see my riding activities with my XD please follow my instagram account @narmalasief ...thanks man.

With that money you can buy a kawasaki H2 almost. Why waste it on this, especially with other cruisers like: Harley Davidsons' Iron and the Indian Scout. They both are cheap and light weight to around 500 pounds, that's small for a cruiser, and the design isn't bad at all. Another point is that most sport bikes aren't that expensive, I'm talking specifically naked and heritage bikes. From the Triumph Street Twin to Yamaha's new MT-10, these kinds of bikes fill up that department. I don't know, but for me this is way to expensive for a cruiser/sport bike, even if it is a Ducati.

+JKHALIN my duke and my friends have been way more reliable than my kawasaki that needs a valve adjustment every three weeks...in fact i dont have enough space here to tell how many valves, rings, pistons and even a new cylinder

@JKHALIN

8 жыл бұрын

I've never had an issue with any Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, or Yamaha (Except for a Stator after an accident.) My ZX-6R Needs a valve adjustment every 16 thousand miles. That's a decent amount...From a reliability standpoint 5 Italian bikes versus 5 Japanese bikes statistically shows Ducatis to have more issues whether it be mechanical or electrical. I've never owned a Ducati, so I can't personally attest to them, however, I'd like to see a Ducati of any year that's gone 80,000 plus miles without a single issue with routine maintenance.

+JKHALIN "I've never owned a Ducati" - i stopped paying attention right there... There's always people like you that like to shit on other people's toys just 'cause they either can't afford a new one for themselves or they just enjoy a tad too much list/brand wars...Jealousy is a bad thing, in the meantime, ride what your ride and just enjoy it, no need to be miserable and/or envious spouting the same usual bullshit that you've heard from uncle Tim's cousin's cousin and/or your local Kawa/Honda dealer/mechanic like every other user on the internet, after a while it just gets tiresome - you remind me of another brilliant gentleman on the internet who did the same thing as you in here by asking "why should i get a shitty MTS 1200S/Turismo veloce 800 from the moment that my V-Strom 1000 is just as good and also cheaper ?" - 'nuff said... Also : a bike with 80000 miles without a single issue with routine maintenance ? Shit man, i don't know what J-bikes you ride but they must be made from unobtanium if they don't need maintenance in the span of 80000 miles, keep telling yourself that if that makes you sleep better at night, i'm pretty sure that if you had the money you'd still be riding that ZX6R and not an MV Agusta F3 675/800 or a Duc 848/899/859 am i right ? ;)

You very strongly uphold Ducati it seems, and I'm a massive fan of all bikes, I mean all. I'm just as happy on a Vespa, Ruckus, Harley, or an RSV4. We buy bikes to enjoy the experience, and if Ducati offers that to some people, to each their own. I may one day own a Ducati. I'm currently a student, and have my eyes on the Aprilia Tuono. I said with only Maintenance in the span of 80,000 miles, and without any major repairs. Many IL-4 Japanese engines are still strong with only oil, plugs, and valve adjustments at 80,000 miles, although stators and rectifiers usually go in that time from my experience. If I had the money, I'd probably own an Italian bike, but for anyone on a budget, you can't beat the Japanese. I'm not of Asian descent if you were wondering. I'd greatly enjoy collecting everything on two wheels in my life time. For riding a bike you know will get you cross country and back without a worry, I choose Japan. For pure performance and excitement with a big L twin shaking your thighs, I choose Ducati. One love when it comes to two wheels my friend. And opinions, they're just that.

JKHALIN See khalin ? That wasn't so hard, much better than the 1st shitty drive-by post of yours, this time at least you put some thought into it ;) Anyway, regarding reliability : EVERYTHING comes at a cost, contrary to popular belief, not all I4 (or parallel, or V2) engine J-bikes are cheap to mantain or aren't prone to failure, unless of course you mean to tell me that a - say - TDM900 and GSXR 1000 are one and the same and their service costs are the same , not to mention their failure rate - the first for example is a simple-ish I2 road bike while the later is a SS aka "track weapon", no need for me to tell you which one is more expensive to maintain (or which one will be seeing the mechanic more frequently), correct ? Also, if we're to start the generalizations, all Hondas have problems with their regulators, most Suzukis (GiXXXXerss) have frames which melt like butter and so on so forth - see ? It's a shitty generalization - like the 90% of people on the internet (and IRL) which haven't owned an Italian/Euro bike like to spout all the time, hence my comment. Also, regarding failure rate (again) : a Prius may be more reliable than a Alfa Romeo Brera but...i know which one i'd like to drive, any time of the day buddy - shitty example i know, still, hope you get what i'm saying. Back to Euro bikes : Again, it's all about the budget every-single-time to the point where the "my J-bike is more reliable" excuse not only has gotten stale but...it's basically the only one left. Thing is, you usually hear the bad stuff but not the good ones in forums and/or cafe's... Ridden my (now) M796 across half Europe and not once it has let me down or asked anything "extra", same thing for dudes with Tuonos, SF1098's and Diavels which i know personally and have surpassed the 30000/40000+ Km mark, also, you might want to take a look at "'Round the World with an Italian Supermodel" thread on the Adventure Rider forums, crazy American dude on a Panigale 1199 which has toured all of North America and is now going through Europe - on the same bike eh ? Guess what, the bike hasn't imploded yet. See, here's the thing man, if something happens while riding a Euro (Italian that is) bike, arm-chair experts will go "that's to be expected, it's a Euro one" while at the same time, if same thing happens while riding a J-one same "experts" will be like "Well, shit happens, it's just a machine" - double standards and all that my good man. The Ducati (and to a certain extent MV Agusta) of today are completely different things than those of yore regarding quality control and reliability, and no, i'm not saying that their products are infallible (on the contrary) but...enter a forum - no matter the brand relation - and 90% of the topics are going to be related to errors/problems, especially if we're talking about new models. Peace
