A Diavel in Monster clothing

[ungeheuer]

.....it feels much smaller then it looks.

... it needs to look much smaller than it looks too.

I really like the Diavel red carbon. It may be my next bike

 Spanks all monsters and streetfighters in pure muscle and torque. Handles as well or better (due to the DTC and ABS) then both as well.  

hbliam,

Is this an observation based on back to back experience with all 3 of these bikes?
While I might agree that a Diavel will handle MUCH better than anything in it's class, I can't see it out handling a streetfighter.
Faster, yes. Hell Ducati was telling us all how much faster it was than a 1098, but handling wise...
I don't know.

It's just my opinion. I've ridden all three on the street and the Diavel was much more forgiving due to the electronics. The SF is skittish. I'm also more comfortable in the Diavel or monster riding position then the SF or even the Panigale.

Would like it better if all the gray would be replaced by red.

I'm sure the Diavel is a great bike.  Unfortunately, I think it's butt ugly and looks like a retro vacuum cleaner. Its appearance does not reflect the name.

Take it for a spin.

I did and I want one!!

the 'bulk' disappears when you sit on it.  I think the stripe looks good on the tank and tail, the front looks goofy.  Maybe if it was carried up the wind deflector...

Some of us prefer a little less forgiving and a little more skittish.        Not everyone's cup of tea for sure but sometimes that makes it more fun than riding the more composed bikes.

I find that this is not the case for most people.

This paint job looks bad IMO. The all carbon black or carbon red are the only ones that look OK.

I agree that's it's uh, different looking. Goofy? Nah. Spanks all monsters and streetfighters in pure muscle and torque. Handles as well or better (due to the DTC and ABS) then both as well.

I doubt very much that it handles as well or better than a new style monster.. and DEFINETLY doubt that it out performs a Street fighter.  If that were true, by your logic, a diavel should beat a street fighters lap time on any given track day in side by side comparison. Well, we all now thats just ridiculous. DTC, ABS, launch control.. etc, etc, etc, are rider aides. They prevent you from making mistakes. They interpret bad input (rider) and forward proper input to the ecu in question.  They dont make you a faster rider. They just protect you from yourself as best as they can.
