You, sir, are my hero.

Ha!  Lmao! 

I Just did about 180 miles today on the Diavel.  The bike is amazing.  The thing will over take most anything on the highway with just a little extra input on the throttle.  I am in the break-in period, so I have to keep it below 6k.  You can still move under 6k, but I get the sense that if I could wind it out to 7, she'd turn into a serious beast. 
I find it a little bit difficult to control in sport mode in traffic and at low speeds.  It wants to rev so high, and I am having a difficult time adjusting my clutch input to match RPMs from a stop.  I'm starting to get it, but My experience is  from low revving American v-twins.  This is a very different experience.  I have found that urban mode is indispensable in traffic and when riding behind slower moving vehicles.  It is much easier to coordinate throttle/clutch input, and easier to find a gear to hang out in... Instead of having to fight between the high end of a lower gear & the low end of a higher gear. 
When you can get out from behind someone and bring her back to sport mode, it's smooth sailing!  She just pulls and pulls and pulls!  You can toss her into the twisted without pause.  What a difference from my 108 inch long Big Dog chopper! 
This bike is just a beautiful machine... Breaks are awesome too... Love the ABS.  I had a couple of moments where traffic stopped abruptly, and I was glad to have them. 
I foresee spending A LOT of time on this rocket!

I would recommend using in Touring mode if you want the 150HP . . .they just show up in a more relaxed way . . .

I'll definitely try that Dark... I haven't touched touring mode yet

It is easier but for around town in traffic, go URBAN.. just 100HP . .

Yeah... Urban was really helpful. 

An addendum to my previous ride report... I have two herniated discs in my lower back that often act up and cause A LOT of pain... in my back and down my sciatic.  S1-L5 & L5-L4.  I was worried that a long ride on this bike might agrivate my back, even though the short test ride I took before buying it didn't show any signs of causing pain.  It is hard to tell if the short ride is only comfortable because it is a short ride or not.  I'm happy to report that after 180 miles, my back didn't make a peep.  The riding position works.  My ass did start to burn toward the end of the day, but I can handle that.  Also, the guys on the Diavel forum swear by the touring seat option for long rides.

Touring seat is +
