no "book" has ever been presented to us in 12 years?? There are allowed times Ducati will pay for warranty and some suggestions time guidelines for service.. but that's about it.
Our first two exh took all of 3 hours.. ECU is up under tank, servo cable is tough to get disconnected as well requiring more disassembly.

I should have quantified the 3 hours. I was discussing it with Sebastian of Melillimoto. For those that are not in the southeast, he is very experienced with Ducs. A less experienced mechanic might take longer.

I stopped by my local dealer yesterday and saw the Diavel for the first time. Looks better in person. The owner said he got his initial shipment of 7 bikes in two weeks ago and that they are all sold already. He also said that 6 out of 7 bought the Termi pipes to go with it. He had one there with the Termis and they looked waaaaaay better that the stockers. Apparently the extra length is due entirely to the mandated catalytic converter. He also told me something I must have missed in the literature: The Diavel is the fastest 0-80mph production motrcycle ever built. Ever.  The power is all in the mid range. It ill top out at 150mph. Not slow in the slightest but the same engine geared for a superbike style moto would be nearing 200. Its just a big torque monster with friendly ergos. I can't wait to hear how she corners. sac |

Fixed.  I linked to a video a few pages back and another person embedded the same video. The Diavel corners just fine. Maybe it will satisy all you California Canyon Carvers. |

It has very good clearance compared to other cruisers. It also holds its own in the twisties. Probably not as well as a Monster, but relatively close.

From the people that have posted that have already got theirs , they all say that the Diavel corners very good.
Nobody that has got one has any complaints yet.
Some people from Europe have had one for almost a month.

With the DTC and ABS it can probably be pushed harder then a Monster. I test rode it and found it to be more comfortable, refined, and obviously much more powerful. Not to mention, Ducati doesn't make Monster's anymore. They make something that looks kinda like a Monster but not quite. |

I read a riding Impression from an Aussie who has 1000 kms. on his and in all areas of the bike , it is most compelling. http://www.diavel-forum.com/index.php?/topic/307-the-diavel-after-1000-kms/I still don't know whether to part w. one of my 3 bikes or keep the 3 and buy a Diavel and struggle w. 4 bikes. It's really a tough decision.  Dolph [moto] |

I still don't know whether to part w. one of my 3 bikes or keep the 3 and buy a Diavel and struggle w. 4 bikes. It's really a tough decision. I'm sure many of us would love to have your problem Good to see you've decided to buy a Diavel either way |

Clearance is good, but is it better then the "so-called" Monster? |
