Uncalculable. Once he reached 88 mph he began to go backwards in time.

...so 88 then

The hand behind the back was kind of lame...

I would eye ball it at 140mph    They should have had a 620 running next to it as a reference

Funny stuff; the replies I mean.  Isn't the Diavel top speed limited by gearing and also electronically.  From what I read, they were most interested in flat out acceleration off the line.

We'd do it racing Ninja 250s.  From testing w/ and w/o the hand behind the back, it seemed to make a difference in top speed (as did getting your butt back in the seat and up in the air).  It's not super-scientifiic, but we went faster with our hands behind our backs.  Then again, that's on a radically underpowered bike trying to barely break 100.  The Diavel has a ton more power, but at much higher speeds than 100, it might make a difference on an unfairinged bike.  

That also doesn't look like it rides like any "cruiser" I've ever seen.

Had a potter round the car park at the store today on a Diavel, both feet on the ground when stopped which is good for a short arse like me, and one thing that won't need replacing is the exhaust because it sounds awesome...

Don't ask for pics this time Spidey because I'm still a bloody dinosaur...

Thursday night VIP open evening over here in UK ducati stores...

 Love that sound!! Pretty quick acceleration too.
May have to get me one of those ( in about 10 years).
