    I test rode a used 2022 Diavel 1260S with 790 miles on it last month. I was not in the market to buy anything, I was just curious about the Ducati version of what a cruiser should be. Of course it was Ducati Red with the red frame, the stying is gorgeous; typical Italian. I took that bike home the next day. Fantastic machine. No buyer's remorse whatsoever. No regrets. A morning ride on it is far better than any caffeine drink to wake you up and get you ready for the day ahead.

    Not shared this with any other channel but i thought I would here.... This would be my dream bike, don't think I'll ever own one but I'm so incredibly grateful to just be able to ride at all... I've got a 2014 Kawasaki z800, it's not the fastest, best handling or even the most characterful bike... But it means the world to me because back in 2020 I almost lost my right leg and life in a skating accident. I used to compete at a very high level (state titles) but my leg snapped in 9 places, full bone on view, lost a litre of blood, compartment syndrome, infection and just had a knee reconstruction. But I'm so so grateful that I can swing my titanium leg over my Z800 and potter around riding the streets. My z800 is just a bike, cost me 5 grand but it saved my soul. Subscribed and like your channel though my friend.

      I had a Rocket and I really didn’t like the previous Diavel and this made me buy one. I definitely think it’s different and will likely appeal to varying tastes.

    I have a 2022 XDiavel and test rode the V4. Comparing V2 vs V4;
    Engine- visceral, punchy, jerky vs silky smooth, very refined, no vibration
    Ride comfort- comfy vs ever so slightly more comfy
    Performance (acceleration, handling, braking)- no perceivable difference in the real world.
    Looks (subjective)- gorgeous, distinctively Diavel vs more muscular but more generic and average sport naked look except for rear tire area. In red, it looks like a jigsaw puzzle with 2/3 pieces gone. More plastic! Looks cheaper, less premium except wheels very nice. (Cool exhaust, turn signals, tail lights though.) Busy, complicated design but better in black. Overall, old Diavel better looking.
    Tech- plenty vs too much, eg., cylinder deactivation (which cannot be unprogrammed) is stupid but Ducati lawyers want it. Boo! Just one more thing to fail then you have a 115hp bike instead of a 168hp one until you take it in. We don’t care about a few spoons of fuel savings. Just give me 4 cylinders all the time please!
    In short, I’ll keep my current one regardless of cost. If they used the V4 and kept everything else the same, I’d get one.

    So happy that they have re introduced the rear folding rear foot pegs again on the V4.
    So between the 1260 and the V4🤔. What I don't like is the stupid looking 4 tail pipes, also how hard to clean would them rear under seat light be🤔

    Kept the bike for 5 years, to be fair most of the faults were in the first 2 years, what killed it for me was when the indicator switch fell off and I had to ride it back to the Ducati dealership indicating right for 10 miles.

    Diavel and Rocket now in completely different categories, Rocket is a 300kg torque monster Cruiser, Diavel is a big power but lighter Supernaked, in specialness it’s a close call but they play to different wants and needs, both cool bikes 😎 the massive weight difference really is the defining point. Really enjoyed my R3 as it so unique with this incredible sense of effortless power without need for revs, the Diavel I’d put more up against KTM SuperDukeGT or Tuono non factory perhaps, powerful but need to be ragged to go quick 🤔 & it’s not a cruiser. Big fan of the original hooligan Diavel, enjoyed the 1260S to ride but found uncomfortable after an hour’s riding. It was a shame Chopsy didn’t get to compare R3 with quick shifter. This v4 certainly looks more bulked up, not sure about the exhaust and the optional Akra is silly money. it’s funny Chopsy thinks the R3 is front ‘cruiser’ when most cruisers are forward pegs 😆 I do like the longer service intervals now and love V4s and own an OG 1985 Vmax. Still won’t roll on like a Rocket in higher gears (*nothing does) but undoubtedly faster bike and still torquier than everything else. I think a Chopsy nailed it with this V4, a GT, if Ducati have got the comfort right this time then it’s a home run 😎

    Nice bike. I would like to have one. Only problem is dealer network. If my dealer goes out of business, the next closest is 200 miles away. I owned the previous generation R3 and liked it. I liked the the last Ducati i bought as well, but it had issues almost as soon as i put 200 miles on it. Now that is anecdotal and model specific i admit. I also believe the R3 would be way easier to service/repair in the absence of authorized dealer. Then there is the fact that a good tune on the R3 does wonders. Truth be told after all that i have said though; is that i had better stay away from my dealer, because there's a good chance i would throw caution to the wind and ride out on one of these.

    Chopsy, you are, coincidentally, saying out loud all the things I'm thinking (at the age of nearly 48) in my own head.
    I'm thinking of chopping in my Street triple 675 and MT09-SP in the next few years to just have one bike that I can keep for 10+ years, like I have with my Triumph.

    Sell albeit reluctantly but buy the V4 Diavel. Spent a day with it and can’t fault it, not many have or can. MCN bike of the year 2023 I wager. In RED though !!!! Could be the only bike anyone will ever need.

    Why didn't they paint the front mudguard? reminds me of the 1.3L cheap escort in the 80's when you paid extra for the colour-coded bumpers. Akrapovic exhaust is £5037 plus fitting! Just to make bad points so you don't buy. It's a £30,000 bike with color-coding and Akrapovic.

    Chopsy,
    Have you ridden the previous 1260s? If so, how does the new v4 compare to the previous model?
    I'm looking at buying one or the other and think your reviews and assessments are always pretty spot on. Coming off sportbikes and want something more relaxed but still capable. Love the look of the new v4 but the price tag is a bit heafty.. so really considering the 1260s instead.

  • @simonchilli2088

    Could they have possibly given it shaft drive? It's a stunner tho having said that. Looking forward to the comparison video of it and the Rocket 3.

    I rode the v4 last year I had the afternoon on it courtesy of Ducati Manchester 👍it's very hard to fault a truly wonderful bike. And the 1260s it's predecessor ? Well I rode that too and I felt it was more a sense of occasion like only a V twin can be. And now on the market for around 13k . It's an interesting proposition but my hearts with a twin it goes like stink stops on a dime is 90 percent of the v4 fior nearly half the price. 👌👍🏍🇮🇹

  • @mathias6423

    This bike is more of a heavier, muscular naked bike than a cruiser, I would compare this more to a Z H2. When I rode the Xdiavel however, I got a bit of cruiser vibes but nothing from this bike. I would not buy this and say to people that I bought a cruiser, this is really a sport bike with a 240 rear tire, lets not kid our self.
    The Rocket 3 with forward controls however, that bike really amazes me, and really feels like a cruiser. These bikes are sooo expensive though.
    I am thinking of buying the Rocket 3 used later on when I am ready to move on to a cruiser. I would compare the Rocket 3 to the Xdiavel instead but maybe they do not have an Xdiavel V4 yet?

    @BillLangton-j2b 10 місяців тому

    Lamb Chop, we are of similar size and age, forgetting the cost, if you wanted to do technical back roads or the odd 300mi. day would you purchase the Diavel V4 or the Panigale V2? If they were both not so sweet looking it would probably be an easier choice. Tks,

    This might be a specific UK thing, I'm not sure, but do some new bikes really appreciate in value there? Here in Portugal, and I'd guess pretty much everywhere else, the moment you ride them out of the dealership parking lot they've depreciated 10 to 15%, and after 2 years you can't sell any bike for more than 70% of its price when new...
