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
,

There is that...   [shot]

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
