Not much of the (first) ride, as the title suggested. Except a few video fragmets taken on the motorcycle, which were appearing in a form of flashbacks, and without the sound, presenter was just giving a lot of detailed info that can be found on the manufacturer's website. It was too generic for my taste, I felt like someone was reading a brochure to me. I wish there was more real, objective, riding experience "transferred" to viewers, with video, along with a big smile caused by the throttle response.

I'm right there with ya. What makes it worse at least for me is my company is/was afraid of loosing people so they gave everyone a $3 raise and then still had people job hopping for more money so they gave everyone another 7% raise like 8 months later hoping to keep people. Got all excited to buy some cool stuff finally and then manufacturers moved the bar out of my reach again.

Dont get drawn into the ducati trap. The previous model is better. Just cause its v4 doesn't make it better. After all it runs on 2 cylinders most of the time anyway. Ducati get in your head making you think you need something you dont

This is the most beautiful man-made creation in the world!
I must’ve watched hours and hours of motorcycle reviews on KZread but this is the most objective, well presented review I’ve ever watched. King regards from Barcelona!
Ducati never fail to stun me with their bikes, all is so good looking
I like it so much that I put down a deposit last month. Can’t wait till April when she arrives!
I think that hands down this is a better looking bike than the previous trellis version
PERFECT! That's what I think of it and your breakdown was the BEST on YT that I've seen, Well Done. Cheers from Jamaica.
This isn’t going to be a popular opinion, but I appreciate the design of this new generation. It’s fresh, it’s streamlined, it feels lighter, more modern. I’d happily own this bike.
Gonna be the best Diavel so far. TFT display is Eons better then the predecessor. My next bike
Loved that. Such a lovely bike. U sold it right there. What a great video. So informative. And that road was well worth going there
I'm trading in my red 1260s for this and it should be arriving later this month. I love the 1260s but there are quite a few reasons for the change. I wanted the bike to stay relevant, the service intervals and removal of the desmodromic valves makes sense, the turn-by-turn nav, the bigger display, the styling is slightly better, especially the fact that there's now no "ugly" left-hand side, the cleaner rear seat with the folding pillion pegs brought back and I'm in love with the rear seat cowling.

So - how does the v4 compare to the 1260 now that you've ridden both?
Despite my obvious Rocket bias, it's a smart bike Rob. I would say comparing to the XDiavel before was not going to give you the best comparison. Encourage you to try the last 1260S Diavel. I think Ducati are distracting us with peak power as the new V4 is down on torque to the LTwin which felt very lively. Shaving weight has helped keep the perf figures broadly the same. Have to say it sounds more Dyson than Diavel. Who knows I may end up with one but found a) I don't need all that power and b) I'd rather have a naked for chopping up twisties. Will be interesting to see if it's comfortable on longer trips because the last gens were simply not, especially for bigger riders.
This will be my next bike, but in all black. Love the review, great job.
I have a 21 triumph rocket 3. and love it. thinking of adding this to my stable ! looks sounds and has all the makings of a great bike for big guy like me . 😁😁
Bob, I just saw my good buddy 650iB's video and you and him must have been on the same group tour ride in Dubai !!! I lived there for about 70 days when I was traveling and living in 13 different countries about 10 years ago and it's an amazing place to be and experience....
Ducati have really knocked it out of the park with this one !! Beautiful looking bike , but I checked the Aussie price $41,100 ouch

Love the four pipe statement of my 4 cylinder similar to MV 800rr dragster with the 3 pipe saying I am a triple!
Looks incredible and I bet it sounds amazing
i love the look of the bike it's so unique specially the rear wheel
I like the shield over the pipes
Once i pay my mercedes off, Im buying myself one. The diavel has always been my dream bike. Stepped into the ducati family with a Hypermotard, Absolutely love my hyper
You're a professional, sir 👀 well detailed and only 8 minutes, that's win win. Ty for your time, good/expensive ride 👌 oh and BTW, just subscribed. Sincerely
Will stick with the 1260S for now, more torque lower down for real world roads 🙂👍🏍

Looks wise my favourite was the first Gen carbon, that dark look - had the real rawness of a big Monster 8)
I admire the Italian design. Very beautiful bike
Good review. Still on the fence. Will have to wait til I see and hear one when they land here in Australia. Wish they had a cheaper exhaust upgrade like they did for the 1260. $9K plus install here in Australia.

@@desmodougie10024 yeah dealer told me cheaper / termi exhaust is WIP, which i understand isn't available just yet... will still probably be a few grand; i'd be happy with just the tip / baffles out for some more tone, doesn't really need that much i.e. the racing would be excessive on a long ride.
Looks like you are comparing it with the XDiavel wich is a different model not the previous version
Always loved the tail lights on the Diavel. I bought a super Duke evo over the Aprilia and Streetfighter cuz of the headlight. I love different vs me too! Tempted to buy this bike
Good Review, solid as usual and what a fantastic looking machine!
best reviewer, the video is about the bike. the other youtubers keep pointing the cameras on their faces

For the record I rode a Honda VFR 800 Vtec years ago , which only shut off 2 valves ,not 2 pistons , it felt like it was knackered , it was like it had a misfire and just cleared up a 5000 rpm , it scared me for life , something I never got over , and it probably killed off the vfr , also I hadn’t noticed my Ducati 1260 didn’t have a trellis frame the same as my Ducati gen 1 , I probably thought I’d bought an xdiavel and hadn’t noticed or the bike shop swapped bikes when it was in for a service , I’ll have to take more notice next time , I buy a bike 🏍🏍👍👍
Well presented review. love from, India. ❤🔥
I Love the look of this v4👍
New Dreambike !
Beautiful Presentation 👌💯... i like how he talks 😁dope🤘
Excellent point about limited riding on closed roads they missed the bad vibrations on bmw X-R as no motorway riding. Looks awesome shame Ducati are making the exhaust price stratospheric . You didn’t speak about panniers fittings on rear ? Any bike over 20k also means all insurance companies refer back to insurers and in lon may mean no cover within reasonable price
Why do you compare the new diavel with the xdiavel? They are totally two different styles of bike.
Nice Video Man. Still on the fence about this bike. It doesent sound great Stock. But I think I would need to ride it to appreciate it.
If all ten were just “quad exit exhaust” I still would’ve dropped a like 😂
Mat black contrast beautiful.
My dream bike. what a machine
Mercure Grand - Jebel Hafeet Never looked so red 🙂. Excellent place for a ride.
Wait so if we choose the sport exhaust is the sound more louder!?
Looks better than previous model
Why is every motorcycle channel putting out a ducati video all at the same time???? 😂

Because the model introduction was done for all the journos at the same time/same place.
I believe it was Bike world with acceleration trials Diavel and Triumph Rocket 3. Diavel is a super fast bike in disguise. A cvo Harley is underpowered in comparison even with the stage 4 mods, $$$$.
I reckon it’s a stunning machine but it now crossed the border between an expensive bike, even very expensive, and a crazy priced bike that falls in the same category of the likes of MV, not even thinking about an S version with electronic suspensions and the rest. I did my best with a Superduke Evo, now that I tasted the exclusivity I’ll probably step back once I’ll feel a need to change. It’s nice to see that this escalation of prices doesn’t appeal to me anymore ✌️

The Ducati Diavel V4 looks real nice but the sound from that exhaust doesn't match the look of the bike.
Not really understanding why the performance is any better than the 1260 Diavel (or X Diavel) twin which makes about the same HP and a bit more torque?
Hopefully, an X Diavel V4 comes at the end of the year.
More automobile emissions tech filtering down to motorcycles. VVT, some bikes with forced induction, hybrid versions arriving and full electric motorcycles. Cylinder deactivation, all cylinders on car, traffic lights and drive-through‘s. I believe just rear cylinder deactivation more for emissions/mileage as liquid cooled bikes still have hot liquid cooling. I can see rear cylinder deactivation maybe in air cooled bikes.
Yes! I would be very interested to know more about this bike? I travel the Ozark back road with lots of curves and bens in the roads so I want something that I can use on these snake road and be able to lean into the curves with ease and be comfortable while touring the many miles of back country roads!! Will this bike do that and some???
Bro i really liked ur jogger pants. Can u really post the link of your joggers ?? I wanna buy it for street riding
To me is most Gourgeous looking bike!!
How does it compare to the yamaha vmax 1700.
KING of THE ROAD. 💫👌👍
needs the Ti exhaust system to make the proper tones 👌
NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING CAN BEAT THE YAMAHA VMAX ❤
😄😄😄 I have seen heating systems smaller than the exhaust system. I'm not up on the long-term effects on the engine of those cylinder deactivation systems. Would it have a tendency to carbon up the rear cyclinders over time . I also wonder about how much spray the rider would get when riding in the rain with that clean rear end? I'd like to hear more when longer rides are done in regular road riding conditions.
Some beautiful machines In the Triumph range, lovely colours , this red metallic is lovely , I would prefer to have the Bluetooth connection and cruise control should not be an option many manufacturers fit it as standard, Tank size is OK, for Sunday rides ,but too small for the longer trips, Still a stunning bike, ✨️
Well, I’ve come into some Money Not a kings ransom, but enough to get this. However, I’m a complete beginner, and was wondering if you would recommend this? You obviously know a great deal about Ducatis so would really value your advice!
I like that stacked exhaust pipes. The sound not so much coming from the mic...

Truthfully it seems over night all the top Halo bikes have jumped across the $20,000 mark. Harley’s still need a stage 2-4 to be competitive with less safety stuff standard like stability control and IMu
What a machine but don’t fancy having to scrub the rear light after every ride so won’t be getting one, nothing to do with the price you understand 🤔
Love the Pando Moto T!
It reminds me of a Yamaha I once saw. V something?
Absolutely stunning bike. I'd have one in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
Sir, are the Ducati scramblers 2023 test ride available already? Waitin for your test ride reviews on those bikes especially the 2023 full throttle and nightshift☺️
My opinion this is my next bike🎉
How is the heat management??
Good review! Attractive bike, though I'll never buy one. Yours is the first one I've seen that doesn't begin with a Dubai flyover. 👍
The perfect engine, torque and high rev horsepower. Perfect cruiser over $40,000 cvo Harley
A V4 you do not need to decide do I want torque OR horsepower. V4’s give both. Plus lighter bike means less torque needed V4’s similar to triples with midrange torque and high horsepower rpm
Should I buy this? 🤔 I’m open to some recommendations
Nice videos review 👍
I would love the trellis frame.. I would rather shave 13kg on my body weight.. LOL
I a big diavel fan owning a gen 1 and a gen 3 , I don’t like the sound of the cylinder 2-4 thing , sound like that could be a pain , since they put a v4 in ,it would be nice to actually use 4 cylinders , but this could be too much tech , and actually get on your nerves , not convinced on the , you don’t notice it or you’d never know !! Just saying !! I’ll test ride one first , 🏍🏍👍👍
Also the suspension on Diavel always shakes your fillings. Why the fuck don’t they use Ohlins as standard especially for the price tag. It’s the first thing to swap out.
Rob, you are comparing a Diavel with an X Diavel. Very different styling and ergonomics.
Thank You Almighty God for blessing me with Your grace I will buy one for myself
No mods needed
I just can't imagine paying for a 240mm rear tire every year.
XDiavel replacement hmm...US is 26,695 for V4, that's a spicy meatball. Not a fan of the stock exhaust design, but I see why they did it. I think the XDiavel was a better looking bike and the 1160 sings a better tune to my ears. Diavel 1260 for 21,795 is the one I would go for (if I were going to buy one, which I'm not :) )

What do you mean nothing comes close, yamaha vmax
No mods needed. Minimalist front turn SEQUENCE SIGNALS
Italian bikes and cars have outstanding styling. They are not afraid to try new stuff. USA just knows RETRO even in their cars like Mustang and Camaro. Harley has always been retro until recently where they are forced to compete more or face bankruptcy. That is what happened to Big 3 auto 2008. Trying to move from fleet sales to global competition. They ran out of money trying to catch up. Before they felt usa buys everything we make
