Diavel 2015 Thoughts?

[twolanefun]

I love mine, all day comfortable, despite what some may think it handles great, brakes are fantastic, power is almost too much, very smooth motor, and does not mind chugging along at 3k RPM then grabbing a handful. I've had mine on multiple day trips, luggage options are not great, the OEM tank bag is huge and easy to mount for a trip, good for 2 days on road, except you'll need a small bag strapped to the rear seat for tools etc...I plan to buy a Ventura system for mine, the rails do not detract too much from the look. I have the 2013 blue/white version with the backrest mod by DucPond, which is great for my GF and removes easily with 2 bolts. The seat cowl does not fit with the Touring seat. The bike may be the best bike I've ever owned and I have tons of miles on a lot of bikes/brands. Feel free to ask me anything about the bike, so far I have 4K on mine on all kinds of roads, and yes it is fun in the twistys, lookup Philippi WV on goggle maps, follow Rt. 119 to Buchannon then find Rt. 20 and follow it all the way down to Princeton WV, just led a ride several weeks ago with a Tuono, Hyper, GC, and Truimph Street Triple, no problems leading that ride and setting a spirited pace. - Gene

I had an extended seat time on a Diavel chromo when my bike was in for service. Bike is real easy to ride. I rode it on my favorite backroad twisties and some highways and it performed really well on both roads. I have no clue on how comfortable it would be for long hauls but its probably going to be more comfortable than the monster.

Well I pulled the trigger and dang if these two dont get along famously!

Congrats, don't forget to ride the Monster, mine has nor been ridden as much lately, the Diavel is so good, but I had my M900 out for a spin today - it' still special, puts a pretty wide grin on my face. I;m going to ride it more often. Gene

In case anyone who is curious:

The Diaval is around 2 seconds faster in the 1/4 than a HD Dyna Low Rider.  The Harley has more torque but less HP.  Stats in video.
