- Boris rides the X Diavel for the first time!
This is my PERSONAL review. Please don't judge too harshly.
Intro music: Aero Chord - Surface (Monstercat release)
Outro music: Claptone - Cream.
"So i'm gonna go ahead and take this lil' thing out for a spin- OH MY GOOOOOD!! OHHH! THIS THING IS A ROCKET!!!"
You have a good attitude and camera presence. You deserve more subs.
Really appreciate it, thank you :)
I do really love the look of those bike, will absolutely be an addition to the garage when I get my full licence.
I was waiting for a more personal review of this bike, and you just did it!! wanna get my hands on one of these, probably my next bike in the near future! Always loved the diavel, but this one just surpasses my expectations! Great video!
+RRodrigues Thanks! It was a fun bike, but the seating position is what I couldn't get used to.
+Boris on Bikes It has multiple positions, they must have set the bike for someone else
Quite possibly. I just asked if I can ride it and they said yes. :)
Nice little review. They look like awesome bikes that's for sure.
Thank you! :)
It was a fun bike for sure
great video Boris!
+Frank Bouwens Thanks Frank!
3 syllables. Di-ah-vol . Pronounced quickly. Great video!
Me and my wife love your videos. You seem to be a very nice person, and funny as well.
By the way, 9923 subscribers. Nearly 10.000. Keep going, and GAAAAZZZ.
+antoinezgz gafaslocas Thank you so much! I like to think that I'm an alright person ;)
Thanks for subscribing and for watching! Keep an eye out for the 10k subscriber giveaway announcement!
Best and funniest bike review ever
+elmeme88 Thank you :)
love this bike and your take on it.
Thank you! It was an awesome bike
awesome video ❤👏
Tested this bike out a couple times - first wheelie for me on a test ride :). Didn't mean to do it but couldn't help it - S mode is Sexy! I loved it and yes, dare call it a cruiser!
Man you are as amazing as this bike. I like your attitude. love from India :)
The bike look awesome and there like old and future theme to it. The old and future theme mash up and make a beautiful bike, plus the bike sound is sick.
+Ashraf 27 I agree!
one of the fastest bikes ever made is the Harley FXR, dont go getting it twisted. Cruisers are FAST and massive amount of torque
I just gotta say, when you said "oh shit" when you turned off the bike at the light, and the way you said it, I laughed my ass off and hit subscribe!! Awesome.
Hahahaha!!! Thanks so much! :)
Really appreciate it man.
Great vid again mate keep it up C:
+Joshua Golden Thanks man! :)
Great review, man :) Thanks!
+DeepPurpleAreKings Thank you!
I left SD 14 years ago and GP cycles used to be by the 5 downtown. I used to see them when I rode Triumphs. Good to see them succeed and thrive.
I remember when they were on the corner of G St. right before the freeway. They definite grown since then, but remained cool.
I love all your videos keep it up
+muhammed yusuf Thanks man!
Very cool to see a test ride around San Diego. I had my MV F4 serviced at GP recently and was checking gout the XDiavel on the showroom floor. It's a big improvement over the Diavel. But I want to see how it is with the mid-mount pegs that are supposed to become available.
Ohh cool! I miss my old F4. What a bike!
I don't miss the Turismo Veloce though. Hahaha!
I'd love to try out the mid-mounted pegs also. That is the one thing I didn't really like about the new X-Diavel.
a nice motorcycle and the rear wheel looks great
Dude, you are always good for a laugh or 2.
As a Diavel (Hungarian for Devil, you were correct sir) owner I would be interested in your take on a carbon.
Keep up the awesome work!
Puppies!
Diavel is Devil in dialect Bolognese (Bologna, Italy) .not Hungarian.
Diavolo in Italian,also the origin of the name Monster (Mostro in Italian) .and the Bolognese dialect.
+Massimo Bernardo
You are correct sir. My mistake, and it makes more sense.
Thanks Jeff. If I have a chance to ride the Carbon one, I would and give it a proper ride :)
+Boris on Bikes
I think you'd like the foot position, more sporty :-). I've also noticed that with my feet under me instead of in front of me my legs help the suspension and the whole bike rides allot better.
Anywho, love the new bike and the new vids.
Dude your channel is blowing up, before you know it you'll have your 100k plaque! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
+the8jrfan That would be such an accomplishment!! I'd keep that plaque forever!
Boris on Bikes
Do a video of it when you get it. WHEN you get it. Just keep being yourself and make more videos I am subbed to a lot of motovloggers and you are for sure one of my favs!
+the8jrfan If/ when I get it, I will definitely make a video!
Thanks a lot! I'm flattered :)
Boris on Bikes
Rock on bro!
woops...
nice video man:)
Lol, good intro and throttle reaction.
Thanks for sharing awesome presentation !!!
Beeeeeeeautiful bike 👌
hey Boris, re: the cruise control do you recall if it was electronic or actuated? that is to say, could you hold onto the throttle while cruise was engaged, or did it want to move in your hand as the bike compensated speed?
Eric W. Electronic
I know that downshift can wheelie his diavel haha
Nice video, man
+Theigorsch Thanks man!
Great personal review mate, I need to ride it. We should swap bikes and do reviews on them
+Zim Killgore Thanks buddy :)
I'm down to swap bikes whenever you'd like. Be as nice or as mean as you want!
If I had all the money, that would most definitely be in my garage!!!
Yup :D
those wheels are crazy :)
Nice video man.... And a beastly bike it is... i would defnitely get one if i can :-)
maxx astral Thank you! :)
This is fuc**g beautiful The bike!
you are a lucky guy :p
good video my friend ;)
I subcribed u man
+Vaskissimo Thank you! Abraço :)
+Boris on Bikes Boris in my next video im going talk about tou UA-cam channel pay atention ;) btw tou have stickers of tou UA-cam channel?
Vaskissimo That is very nice of you! I probably won't understand any of it though! Hahaha!
+Boris on Bikes no problem dude because i speak i little english hehehe
did anyone notice the instrument cluster at 2:46 . It changed from bright to high contrast.
+Tharun Reddy I noticed that when I was editing the video! Good eye though! I didn't catch it while riding because I was too happy with revving the bike under the bridge haha!
"There's, uh, uhmm, uh, there's, uh, ah...TOO MUCH SKIN!" xD
yeah, friggin hilarious. loved that as well.
1 question: which one u pick r1200gs triple black or xdiavel s?
+Indra Djaya Putra The Triple black, for sure.
Thanks for the review😉 Greetings from Switzerland (a Yamaha FZR 1992 "old Lady" Driver)😂👋🏻👍🏻
+MuengguMovie Hahaha! Thank you for watching! :)
How tall are you? Wondering about your comments about the long reach and leg position.
I'm 5'8”
It might be that I'm just not used to that seating position, but I know they make adjustable kits to move the footpegs where you want them.
That is amazing
The suspension on the S I test rode was cushy, even when jumping speed bumps and going over other cracks or lumps in the road. The forward controls make a big difference in rider comfort. They felt good to me when set fully rearward. Fully forward was just awkward, but might be good for tall riders.
Might sell my Diavel for an XDiavel S in a few years if they do a version that comes with bags and other goodies. I'll be itching to trade if they do a carbon version.
Ohhh that would be sick!
I'm also a small dude so maybe that is why it was stiff? Who knows.
Boris on Bikes
Probably mostly jacked-up preload and other settings. If I do another test ride of the X I'll be checking the settings before the ride.
Good idea!
Boris i have a question, this is nothing about the video, but before you mentioned something about you being great in computers, well my computer died i was playing a game i downloaded recently then suddenly it froze up blue screened and restarted but when it restarted it wont boot up anymore and when it opened it had dots colored blue green and white starting from bios to anywhere else, my computer guy said its not a problem in the GPU because it still shows picture in safe mode, i hope you can help me about it.
HI again Boris, update, I uploaded a video about the problem, it's in my crap channel, maybe it could help identify what the hell is happening to my PC
really bro?
just got it and its amazing bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome!!! Congratulations and I'm sure that you will have a blast on it! :)
anyone here actually use the different modes on their bike? my hayabusa has a b and c and i dont think i have ever used anything besides default witch is A
Haha. In all the UA-cam reviews I've seen of this bike the reviewer is screaming and laughing maniacally during the ride. I'd say Ducati made a winner based on that metric alone.
+Muj California Definitely a FUN bike! Hahaha!
Boris, I hope you read this comment, would help me a lot.
You mentioned at 5:24 about going at "cruising speed without the throttle cutting in and out". I have since July 2017 my first bike ever, a BMW G310R. A small bike, but I guess it was a good choice as a starter bike and I couldn't really afford anything more expensive.
My ONLY real complaint about it is that at 1st, 2nd, and maybe 3rd gear, when I'm trying to maintain steady cruising speed, I think I experience what you mentioned at 5:24, about the throttle "cutting in and out", or being twitchy. Even if my hand doesn't move at all, I cannot seem to get a real smooth ride, but it just happens at slow cruising speeds. I don't really know or understand why that happens and if it can be "fixed". I don't understand what causes it... maybe the fact that it's a small bike?
Anyways, would really help any insight you could have.
Thanks, man!
Hi Miguel!
I've ridden the G310R and I think it's a great bike! I even did a little review video about it haha!
As far as your throttle problem goes, I'm not sure I've had the same problem when I test rode it.
The issue I'm taking about in this video is when the throttle is too sensitive and you can't keep a constant cruising speed.
I usually try to keep the bike in certain RPMs, usually lower RPMs to make it less twitchy. So if you're in 1st, maybe try going into 2nd and cruise at a lower RPM.
Other than that, it may just be a mapping issue and I'd take it to the dealer to see what they say. If it's a new bike, they shouldn't charge you for it.
Hope this helps, I'm not a motorcycle expert 😆
Boris. Thanks for replying! Really appreciate it. Sorry I hadn't replied back, I had been busy traveling.
I'll look into what you say. I have been riding for about 9 months now, but I feel I'm still in the process of learning tips and tricks when riding, so I'm never completely sure if what I experience is normal, not normal and related to my lack of expertise, or not normal and related to some bike issue.
Would help me if I could get my hands on another bike and compare it to mine, but that is kinda hard.
Anyways, thanks, bro!
Boris, How did you enjoy riding this compared to the R nineT? These are the two i'm considering. Is the price jump worth it as i'm considering my next purchase to be my final one. I don't recall your height but I believe we're about the same; I'm 5'8".
Yes, we are about the same. I am also 5'8".
I prefer the r nine t over the X Diavel.
This is an amazing machine, but it is a totally different class than the BMW.
I prefer the seating position and the comfort of the Nine T over the Ducati.
Besides, I already have one Ducati. I don't really want two LOL!
Yeah, I haven't had the chance to test ride a xDiavel, but I havev ridden the R nineT and I really liked it. I didn't like it more than my BMW S1000R but I did like it and I i guess looks is what is attracting me to both the xdiavel and r ninet. I'm almost sure i'll be going with the scrambler r ninet the will be available later this year, but I wanted to make sure, haha! Thanks for the response, love the vids, bro! I was in SD recently and i rolled by the place you would always go drop off your MV at. lol
Very cool! I can't wait to see the new Scrambler!
Thanks for watching and your kind words.
Ride safe!
I had an opportunity to ride that bike yesterday, it is bad-ass
Definitely an awesome bike! I'd love to own one.
Two Thumbs Up!!
Nice review! What made you to choose R nine T over Xdiavel?
Thank you! Honestly, I just didn't like the seating position on the Xdiavel. It is a fantastic bike! Sounds great, looks amazing, fast as hell! Just doesn't seem comfy for a pillion with that tiny rear seat and mainly the riding position for me was a bit uncomfortable and weird.
If the seating was more with your feet back, It would have been a hard decision.
Thanks for your reply! It totally make sense since you carry your gf a lot. For me, when I did my first ride, it was quite awkward as well. But my second ride, I was more adjusted towards the forwarded foot pegs. Since then it was weird but fun to lean over each side during cornering. The reason why I asked you this question is I'm also trying to decide between Xdiavel, R nine T, Bonneville T120, and Thruxton R. lol
Haha!! Great choices. I can see why you are having a hard time.
I suggest trying all of them as close together as possible and make your decision based on that.
I love my nine T and I think that I made a right choice :)
Good luck with your choice and if you remember, let me know what you end up getting.
Great video man! You should do a San Diego meet up!
+Rami Alattar I'm planning on going to the big Socal Motovlogger Meetup in Palm Springs. I think that should be more fun rather than seeing me by my self. lol!
+Boris on Bikes haha dude I'll show up
So just you and me man! LOL!
+Boris on Bikes LOL!
At my age, I cannot sit on a sport bike without getting stuck in that position. I like my forward controls, and long reach to the bars on my Street Bob, mostly because I can get off and stand up with little pain or knee joints locked up.
+Messkit ! I do understand that sport bikes are uncomfortable, but I find the X Diavel to be ever more uncomfortable than my Ducati 996. And those are a "torture trap" according to one of my friends. Hahaha! That is why I bought my MV for everyday use. Perfect bike for pretty much everything.
I got one because lower back a couple of fused discs can’t sit on sport bikes anymore I wouldn’t trade it for anything
Sorry to hear about your back, but glad to hear you're enjoying the bike! 🙂
the screen turns into black when you ride in the shades
Yeah, I noticed that while I was editing the video. SO cool!
Where in California were you, which beach?
This was in San Diego at a place called Fiesta Island.
Starting Ducatis is often like that. Feels like battery is low, but it's not. Normal character. My Multi 1200 does it, My Multi 1000 did it as well.
So weird
I just test rode this, it's insanely torquey !
I keep on shouting OMG, the engine is pulling like rocket...
HAHAHA! Exactly how I felt! Such a torquey bike! Love it.
Those killer wheels also come with the "S" model. Not completely my style but it looks amazing.
+CNCycle That was the S model, you silly man :P
That's actually what I meant to say. My brain moves quicker than my typing.
Hahaha! Did you know that is a sign of a genius? Seriously.. I read that somewhere. You're a genius, my friend.
My Mom and now you think so.
neat how the lcd dash changed from white background to black when you went under the overpass and into shade at about 2:40
+Michael Dudek I noticed that once I was editing the video and was super surprised! My stupid MV doesn't do that. I have to change it manually. =\
But what inquiring minds want to know is when will you change the while MV manually, like to the awesome GS!?
It would be a shame for me to get a GS. The poor thing would never see any dirt.
I was thinking something along the lines of a KTM Super Duke R
+Boris on Bikes oh yes that's a great choice as well. I doubt you'll have nearly the moody Italian problems as you have had then.
I'm fairly certain that the KTM is far more reliable than my MV
Downshift83 owns a Ducati diavel
Nice Vid...
+lawyer mcswain Thanks!
Hey does anyone know what gloves he is wearing in this video?
+Peatry Mckendrick Hey! I know exactly what gloves they are ;)
Dainese Air Hero VR46
www.dainese.com/us_en/gua-air-hero-vr46-75760.html
+Boris on Bikes Oh cheers dude. And great video!
Much appreciated =)
Thanks for watching!
Looks crazy and i'm sure crazy fast too but for me those forward foot controls kill it completely. Maybe I need to get older to like that :p
+Hold Fast Films Exactly my point. I couldn't get used to the position.
there are 3 different control you can get. so there might be another foot position you find more comfortable.
Check out the Harley Vrod.
+govenmentassassin I will give it a try one day. If they even let me ride it that is.
And to answer a comment,
Yes I absolutely use the riding modes:
Canyons and track = Sport (162hp hi)
Cruising and Highways = Touring (162hp better mpg)
Loaning it to a buddy = Urban
Best bike I've ever owned and it will be in garage for the distant foreseeable future.
I'm glad you're enjoying your Diavel. :)
I really did enjoy it when I rode it, for sure!
yes boris...diavel mean devil in italian dialect
:) Cool
was that a submarine !!? when you took some photos
+TheMacki95 TheMacki95 If it was, I didn't notice it. There is a small island in the center, so that might have been it! Or maybe a submarine... that sounds cooler.
Boris on Bikes it is a sub
Boris on Bikes just look at it
You should review my bike, but that means I need to clean it first lol
Yeah, I definitely can not review a dirty Sport Classic!
this bike looks sick like it popped out of an anime.
+KoG GoK She's definitely a looker!
had a real busy week, late watcher right now /.\
2:46 the inner French is coming out
Hahahaha!!! Never realized I sounded French lol!
what year is the ducati
+Joshua Chiriac is brand new, 2016.
+Boris on Bikes swee
Sweet
1:08 "Tetsuo ? Is it you ?" xD
You call that a beach? That sand looks like dirt
turn off dtc and it wheelies 1-3 no clutch slip
"Suspension is firm" because you're light
More than likely
The suspension is stiff because your in sports mode, maybe if you try another mode
I'm fairly certain that you are right. They set me off in Sports mode lol!
+Boris on Bikes Although I'm not sure why a bike like this needs stiffer suspension, it's not like you'll take her upto the track or something. Heh.
"I'm gonna take this out for a spin"
(Few seconds later)
"OHHHHMAAAAGAAAAAAHH"
+Jonathan Vasquez LOL! That's exactly what it felt like!
Этот байкер такой болтливый. ))) Хоть я и не поняла, о чем он говорил, мне все равно понравилось. Thanks
Although I don't understand Russian, I still enjoy trying to translate your comment :)
Cпасибо!
Missing your videos
❤
My dream bike :(
One day...
+wdoncare same
ayeee finally found a moto volgger from san diego lol
song 00:08 seconds?
In the description buddy ;)
Aero Chord - Surface (Monstercat release)
+Boris on Bikes thanks bro
No prob!
sounds super =p
the sounds isnt that much after you mount the termignoni kit... i got it, people get scared each time.
Hahahaha!!! Brilliant!
I am done with cruisers until i get too old for sport bikes
+FZ Moto I wouldn't have it as my only bike. Definitely as my 5th or 6th bike, if I was a millionaire.
+Boris on Bikes Man, the collection I would have if I had the money :D
This bike is a mix of a sport bike and cruiser, I would buy this a replacement for both
you Soo funny when you say "Hay puppy" hahaha
review Ducati Panigale or other Ducati Monster
love you dude .
am an Indonesia people
+andika yuliawan :) Thank you!
+Boris on Bikes are you have a puppy?
No, but my parents have 3 and I come visit them :)
+Boris on Bikes cool:)
+andika yuliawan check my instagram andikayuliawan19
Aerochord - Surface
when Aprilia Tuono?
I could do that next, if the dealership lets me take it out for a ride ;)
Boris on Bikes That bike is awesome.
Looking forward to trying it out.
Boris on Bikes I stay tuned.
I wouldn't want to be on the pillion seat. And I'd like to see a video of this bike being ridden by someone who's not new to motorcycling.
+1990 actually, people who had tryied it, says it's quite comfortable. to carry the passenger you have to mount the back support and ducati gives you a different seat, more long and more soft.
it is a Cruiser lol but a very beautiful bike don't know how long it would last before it would break down in England with a lovely weather lol
+Dave.Honda750 Hahaha! True
+Boris on Bikes but she is very very pretty don't know how long it would last in this beautiful English weather we have lol
+Dave.Honda750 and I know I took the mick out of your bike for breaking down just make you feel a bit better my bike broke down yesterday and it cost me nearly £300 to fix it
Sorry to hear that, Dave. That is terrible.
+Boris on Bikes thank you my friend. just come back from a ride it's like riding a different bike lol :)
Puppy!
first you gotta get a garage buddy! ahahaha
+Exile McMullen This is very true!
+Boris on Bikes anyways I love your videos and your enthusiasm. keep it up brother!
Do F4 next :D
I've owned an F4, but if I can find one to test ride, I can do a review.
+Boris on Bikes i dunno why im so F4 crazy, "if i had all the money in the world, would i put an F4 on my garage?" Hell yeah!
I loved my F4 and I had only one issue witch was just a stupid fuse that blew. Beautiful bike and stupid fast too!
Now I miss it :(
+Boris on Bikes oh wow, did it break down? I did research on MV bikes very sophisticated bikes. I gotta ask man, are the brutale and F4 also clutchless?
I'm not sure about the new ones.. I think they might have a quickshifter UP but not down.
The older ones definitely don't have that option... that's why they actually have less issues :)
😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Ducati in Germany costs 23000 Euro :O
About the same in Austrlia, at lest for the S
Definitely not a cheap bike! But sure is fun.
+Boris on Bikes it's also insanely beautiful :D
Yes, very!
Nothing makes Italian transportation like the Germans.
It's a beautiful bike until it breaks on you in the middle of no where! lol
Ducati :D
I shit you not Boris I've seen people walking horses, and another person walking a goat and a donkey here on highland. never know what you'll see around San diego
+A Ceed Numenon Hahahaha! People are so damn weird!
