    I once accidentally rode over a hump back bridge with too much speed on my XDiavel. I was riding with a group and was not paying enough attention to the warning sign but instead watching the rider some way behind me. I took off with both wheels and I was actually standing on the forwards footrests with my head in front of the bars to try and maintain control. I landed straight and true fortunately , but it scared the life out of me. It was a lesson in group riding that I will not forget.

    Is there a gear indicator on the dash? Is there a center stand? How about keyless ignition? I can't find this info on Duc's website. Thanks!

    • @MotorcycleAuthority

      There is a gear indicator on the display and can have the key in your pocket when starting. There is no center stand so you will need a paddock stand. There are links available on our website

    How do you like the midcontrols? I really want to swap mine. But its an expensive mod. Does it feel cramped?

    • @MotorcycleAuthority
      @MotorcycleAuthority  Рік тому

      All my other bikes have forward controls so it’s a nice change. To me it feels more like a sport bike with the mids. However, if it was my only bike and I used it for longer rides, I may stay with the forwards.

    With the termi exhaust do you find yourself getting headaches from the louder noise? Or do you were ear plugs?

    But where have you said, that those position for your feet is not original? My testride had its feet-poles "far in the front" (for me as normal naked rider).

    • @MotorcycleAuthority
      @MotorcycleAuthority  10 місяців тому

      They come forward but can be moved to the mid or rear position. Mine had the mids for some reason when I bought it. I must have said it wrong. Thanks for the comment to correct the error. I hope you enjoy it. Yes, they are pricey and the dealer service is too.

    Curious about the reliability of this bike. How long have you had it?

    • @MotorcycleAuthority
      @MotorcycleAuthority  2 роки тому +4

      Three years now, I have only changed oil and brakes pads. However, there was a recall competed to fix the rear brakes that keep needing to be bled and the key fob was also fixed on a recall. After that, no problems. Also, the tires were replaced. The tires don’t last long on these high traction tires. My Audi is the same way, grabs the road well but soft and wear quickly.

    • @MotorcycleAuthority
      @MotorcycleAuthority  2 роки тому +1

      @Blue Shorts TV I had an issue like that and the dealer was able to take out the sponge brake feel to it. That was when they replaced the brake lines under warranty/recall. I am surprised that is still an issue on the 2022. Let me know how that turns out.

    Hi, I'm 40 and about to get my motorcycle license next week. As a new rider I've been thinking of getting a Yamaha R3 or MT03 as a beginner bike but the more I see this Ducati the more I like it. Do you think is ok for a 40 year old safety focused guy to get a Ducati Diavel or should I start with the Yamaha? Nice video!

    • @MotorcycleAuthority
      @MotorcycleAuthority  2 роки тому +1

      The riding positions are quite different on the Yamaha R3 and the Ducati XDiaviel. Both are a lot of bike for a beginner. Ideally, I rider should start with a lower performance bike. However, the Ducati XDiavel has riding modes that can reduce power. Also those adjust quite a bit as well. More importantly the XDiaviel has sensors that control the angle of the front end to keep the front tire on the ground with quick acceleration. I would sit on several bikes before making a decision.

      @@MotorcycleAuthority Hi, the fastest I have gone is 138 it could have gone more but it really starts to struggle at those speeds with wind resistance. But didn't buy it to lose my licence as come from sports bikes that could have done that way too easily. All the fun on these are with the torque and slower speeds. Beautiful bikes.
