I am about to buy one in strada version and even that I didnt like what i have heard, thanks for video :-)
Lovely machine. I have the x Diavel S in iceberg white, which is stunning too.
I really wanted a totally blacked out Diavel when I bought it, but…..it really numbs all the great body styling the bike offers. Good call on the iceberg white 👍
Great review thank you so much
I didn't get the name of the tool and the price that you pay for it to stretch the chain
Revs bike: *raging screams of demons*
Two-Wheeled Warrior: kinda nice
Diavel: *moar demonic roaring*
I want this.
You should be able to go into the menu and change the display setting to show the gas gauge. I have a 2016 Diavel and I have my screen set to show the gas gauge.
Unfortunately, not for this 2013 year .
Love the video I am in London Ontario and have not seen another one here, where about are you? mine is a 2011 10k km on it and love it, I also have a Victory Vision for touring. Like you I like the obscure bikes LOL
Cheers, glad you enjoyed the vid 👍. I’m actually close to the Muskoka region . Just North of Toronto. I usually catch 2 or 3 in cottage county. But that’s about it , really rare bike , which makes it that much cooler ( I think). The Victory is a GREAT choice too 👍
Cheers
Beautiful county I get up there 4 times a year to a friends cottage cheers
$1100 for tyres, bloody hell. I'm in the UK and we are always ripped of big time and I bought a set of rosso 3s last month for around £500 for my diavel.
Desmo service here is again around £500-600
However, great review Thankyou.
Sounds like I’m living in the wrong part of the world ! Not sure how our Canadian dollar compares to the pound , but certainly sounds a lot cheaper .
Cheers
I was going to say the same thing. I changed both my tires on my XDiavel and about £500 ish too and the bloke came to me in his van so I didn't even have to go anywhere to get it done. Haven't had my desmo service yet though.
Got mine fitted for £350 he paid £658 when converted.
In Singapore, it’s much cheaper. $600 plus Singapore dollars for front & back tyres. Unfortunately only Pirelli’s available. I wanted to try the Michelin but were too expensive & most dealers don’t carry them.
@@twowheeledwarriorwhat is a desmo service I’m tryna learn about it cause I am in the market.
Hi hi, love the short windscreen, can I know where did you get it from?😊
It actually came with the bike when I bought it , you can for sure get it from a Ducati dealer, I believe for around $450 ?it been a few years since I looked that up
Would you say it's a decent motorcycle for commuting downtown or do you need to get on emptier roads outside the city to really enjoy it?
in city riding , I’ve noticed it seems to run hot at lower speeds . Not OVER heating but the fans keep kicking on a lot . And you can definitely feel the heat coming from that motor. As fun as it is to rip from light to light , I’d say more open road .
@@twowheeledwarrior and how is it as the seasons start to change? When it's more slippery because it's more often wet and sometimes a bit cold eg 10-15C? Thanks!
@@bonsalpepperful at those temps, I tend to ride very conservative. The tires are incredibly sticky , but …. Feeling how hard this bike pulls on dry pavement, there ain’t no way I’m testing its limits on cool and wet tires . I’ve unfortunately have been caught in cool rainy conditions, put it in Urban mode, and never gave me any indication of a loss of traction . I’m sure it handles far beyond what I’d push it too on cool or wet days . Oh… it seems to run “ smoother “ on warm days too. Sorry for the long response, lol
I have owned a few different makes of bike and I can tell you my XDiavel is a very expensive bike just to keep running. If money is a factor in your decision making bear in mind Ducati's are like having a girlfriend with very expensive taste. Nothing Ducati do comes cheap. You pay for class but if you can afford it they are so much fun to ride, very much like a classy girlfriend.
How have you managed to keep your tank so scratch free? The matte finish attracts them so easily
If I zoomed in close enough, you’d see all the scratches ! Trust me, there’s are a lot . Camera seems very forgiving
Cheers
About $500 here for the same tires.
Dude your gettin ripped off for tires. I litterly spend that in 2 sets of tires and 2 oil changes using spectra oil with a good filter. Where are you taking your bike????
I was going to ask the same. I had the same generation diavel. Brakes, tires, and oil costs the same as any other bike. $400 for tires, $40 for oil, $60 for brakes.
It's worth to buy or not
If you love sport bikes and cruisers, and can afford proper maintenance, then YES.it’s worth to Buy .
Cheers
@@twowheeledwarrior have you ever ridden kawasaki vulcan s and what's your thought on that
you could show also the left side of motorcycle. how ugly it looks..
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Looks are subjective, I love the look of this bike no matter what part of it I'm looking at. I always thought if Batman was off looking at bikes the 1198 Diavel would catch his eye.
@@rufus1346 this is chinese approach. if is something ugly, i don't want to see it and i will focus to anything else. left sides of many motorcycles are really ugly. ducati, small hd's, honda rebel... if you want or don't, compare it do really good looking motorcycles. indians, big hd's, triumphs, suzuki's bmw's... i am not batman, few years ago diavel catched my eye too. but few months ago i decided for rocket 3. due to comfort and design.
@@ichbinmartin As I said taste is subjective. You call big HD's and Indians really good looking and I think they are ugly and the rest of your list doesn't make sense, as there are many kinds of triumph, Suzuki's and BMW's. Which models do you find attractive.
By the way most people I haven talked to about the new Rocket think it was based off of the Diavel. Odd that you think one is ugly and the other is he one you decided to buy.
I also own two Rockets, an old and new one and an XDiavel. I traded in the Diavel I had when the XDiavel came out, bought that on brand new. When I bought my second hand triple black Rocket a few months ago I kept the old one. I'll never sell my 2004 Rocket. I have customised just about everything on it, I have made it mine.
@@ichbinmartin Strange that you went for the bike most people say was stolen from the Diavel. The most common thing I heard people say about the new rocket when it came out was it looked like a Diavel on steroids.
As I said taste is subjective, I find most HD's and most Indian's ugly and the rest of your list doesn't make sense. There are many different kinds of Triumphs, Suzuki's and BMW's.
I also just got myself the new style Rocket, triple black one, a few months ago. I kept my old 2004 Rocket too, so now I have the set.
I traded in my old Diavel in for the XDiavel when it came out so I also own a Ducati. I would have kept the old one if I could have afforded it at the time. I still miss it.
I hate selling bike but love buying them, just wish I had more room in my garage.
It isn't ugly.
