I actually like the look of the new Diavel. There. I said it.

Hmmm... how to word this?
OK... how about... I like the new Diavel better than the old one. There... that was nice... [cheeky]
It would be a lot of fun riding around on that bike.
I hope its easier to work on than the previous models.
I was impressed with the performance of the old version in Sport mode, very impressed.
If I were to join the Ulysses Club, I would black out all the silver accents.
Top of the options list, I'd like to see a rotating mechanism for that exhaust... so at the push of a button I could have it emulate a Gattling gun ;D

I would like an option that has flames spit out of the exhaust, blue flames! All four at different intervals.

...rotating flames [evil]
It reminds me a lot of the old Yamaha V-Max...
I can see that.
Yep. But handles and brakes.
Damn. Much better looking than the former.
best german bike to date. complete with valves lifted by springs instead of desmodromics
i suppose it could be worse, could be electric

I can forgive this with the Diavel coz I never regarded it as a traditional Ducati anyway. But make no mistake, the Audi bean counters and marketeers will gradually ensure desmo goes the way of the dry clutch across the entire product range eventually.
I liked the original Diavel when it came out, enjoyed teh demo we had a the dealership, got to use it a few times in rides and to go home
