Title: NYTimes: [Daivel] Clothed as a Cruiser, A Ducati for the Fringe Post by: CDawg on July 26, 2011, 09:36:33 AM http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/automobiles/ducati-diavel-review.html?hpw (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/automobiles/ducati-diavel-review.html?hpw)
"...It doesn’t fit some of my criteria for awesomeness. It is neither a sculptured Italian beauty like the 1198 Superbike nor a versatile all-business beast like the Multistrada. Its styling sets off in a direction that few Ducati loyalists would expect from the company, an in-your-face showboat that favors overt brawn over tasteful restraint. What the Diavel did do superbly was put me at ease, giving me the confidence to make use of its power...."

I'd like to ride one now, but it is still not the bike for me.
Title: Re: NYTimes: [Daivel] Clothed as a Cruiser, A Ducati for the Fringe Post by: Jaelum on July 26, 2011, 11:17:33 PM I test drove one during the 600 mile maint. on my new EVO. Really an incredible bike - makes you feel like the baddest MFer on the road. Acceleration that will just about rip your arms off. If I ever get where I can't handle the ergos of my Monster, I'd look at one in a heartbeat.
