Diavel on The Snake!

[TAftonomos]

I sat on a Diavel with the touring seat which is taller and a bit flatter..  you would want this seat for sure as it gives a bit more room.

How does it compare to a MTS1200 in terms of riding position and overall comfort?

That Diavel looks like an Odd Duck....

An Odd Duck...

Who would have thunk it?

It certainly is an ugly Duc-ling!

Has that person in front of the camera bike ever ridden a bike before? Just say'n...



I do like the rear tail lights. 

he's going to be very embarrassed to read that....  he doesn't ride the street very often, crashed his track bike last august and got beat up some, hadn't ridden since.. he actually runs a track school and does lots of track time.  He laughed himself at how rusty he looked!!  I was doggin' him a bit DNA really didn't want us riding too aggressive so no  passing on this section.

for my 30" inseam it was great, at 53 both my wrists hurt most days from too much damage so I found the bars to be perfect for a change.  I sat on a touring seat and that felt a bit better and roomier but only after two hours was I feeling a bit tingly   on the stock seat.  The MTS works great but a Monster will get to me after a while and other than a few laps, SBK's are out for me these days.  It will be a stretch to the bars for a shorter rider..  I'm 5'11"

What do you think about someone w. a 35 " inseam at 6'5" ?

you'd be snug in the stock saddle..  with the tour seat you should be fine.

I don't think he could have went much faster - it appeared to me he was leaving a good gap between himself and the bikes in front of him.

Thanks for the video!!

I think this thing is starting to grow on me.  I will likely never buy one, but I have to give credit to Ducati for creating a unique beast.  I hope this monster is a sales success for Ducati as the Monster was.
