The Ducati XDiavel is the Italian company's attempt at a cruiser. But, as our Jon Quirk discovers, it isn't anything like a cruiser.

Great review! Had a chance to try the bike myself, the acceleration is definitely a lot faster than any traditional American cruiser. But the bike handles somehow strange, at very low speed the turning radius is huge, because of the long wheelbase(over 1.6m) and 30 degree rake. At speed, it turns very light and quickly, but in the turn, it feels strange because the 240mm rear tire, the contact patch is far away from the bike's center line. The launch control is more a launch assist, you release the clutch progressively, without practice, launch control can be slower than "manual" start. With that much power underneath you, it's scary to release the clutch at full throttle and over 9k rpm. The foot pegs are high off the ground, to give that 40 degree lean angle, but for me it's too high, and too far forward. It could be a better bike, or better cruiser, if, the wheel base is shorter, the rake is smaller, the rear tire is 200mm, and the rider triangle is more neutral, less cruiser-ish. Looks awesome though. Everyone I meet says, that's a sexy bike!

@cbrblade2705 6 лет назад

How come every one who does bike reviews doesn't say about how much service costs are?, how easy it is to get parts, and that the belts need changing at 15.000 mile intervals. most Italian bikes are hard to parts for from Italy, it would be in the region of £500-600 for a 15.000 mile service. I wish bike review people would stop kissing arse when they test them.

@Themayseffect 6 лет назад

do you even understand how long 15k miles is? that's a year and half worth of daily commuting. A belt change doesn't cost that much and oil changes can be done easily.

@Youtube_Globetrotter 6 лет назад

Themayseffect, but if if you buy a new bike is it a good idea to have a fully documented maintenance service book

@Themayseffect 6 лет назад

A documented service book only has value in resale. It shows the next owner that the bike is in good order. It has no value to the user other than a reminder that something has been done. The bike being "new" means nothing in this regard. Documenting changes/events is something that should be done in all facets of life. The OP complaint was about the COST of maintenance, which is irrelevant because everyone is going to pay different prices no matter the intervals.

the pillion seat is fine & safe with the backrest, compare any pillion seat even Harley Davidsons are no bigger or more comfortable. I found it fine on bad or b roads & I am 65year old so a young man like yourself needs to man up or have 3 Weetabix before riding it, or have a go on a sports bike & u will then see what a hard ride ready is lol

@jasonmarett8867 2 года назад

Just change the suspension settings,try explaining this in your reviews as changing any suspension will transform any bike,all bikes can be uncomfortable,major part of any bike review is to explain how to make things better not just moan about something and put people off buying a product without a possible solution

@wickedleeloopy2115 6 лет назад

I wouldn't consider this a traditional cruiser category. More like performance baced power cruiser with vrod & vmax . Even a vulcan S would be a considered a half size sports cruiser for that matter. Why would anyone even consider buying a HD now days with this much choice.

@TzeiEm 6 лет назад

First of all, Xdiavel costs a fortune. Secondly, while the numbers for this bike are impressive, I wonder who needs 150bhp for a cruiser since the riding position isn't exactly suited for riding really fast. And thirdly, the looks are pretty futuristic and people who like the more traditional look (like me) wouldn't consider this bike good-looking. That being said, I'm glad there are a plethora of bikes to choose from, so we can all ride the bike that we like the most. Having a lot of choises doesn't take anything away from anybody.

I can't wait for this period of "big blob shaped mufflers" to go away. We are pushing 10 years of giant blob mufflers. Let us hope that after 2020, the next 10 years will get us back to good looking motorcycles. Most of the new motorcycles are totally ruined by the massive blob shaped mufflers. Eric Buell never intended for people to make a non-symetrical giant hideous creature, and then call it an "under frame muffler." If you go back and look, the Buell looked good from every angle.

Hi everybody can you please give me some suggestions on how to verify with videotape and a go pro hero 4 silver my 1299S when it intermittently and randomly and unexpectedly stalls out? Every time i take it to the dealer they said they can't duplicate the problem and Ducati of North America video taped my bike with no problems. But my 1299s still stalls out on me in congested stop in go traffic all the time and when I feather the clutch and drive between 0 to 15 mph on the street or freeway or on the street.However I'm an amateur and I just purchased a hero 4 go pro silver camera do you have suggestions on how to mount it to the 1299S gas tank ? I'm concerned with losing the camera what type a suction mount the go pro hero 4 camera? What I should use and what can I use in case the suction loses its grip to keep the camera from damaging the motorcycle and the camera in case it falls thanks advance for everything. The dealer said prove the 1299s is stalling out with video verification because they claim everything is checking out A ok on the computer test sheet with Ducati engineers and Ducati video tape that they won't show me What would you do? Thanks in advance for everything.

I rather buy new Kawasaki Z900RS true bike that gets ridden hard.

@jennydiazvigneault5548 6 лет назад

I really liked this bike but the more I study it the less I like it. Its not comfortable to drive for over an hour. I want to take 6 hour rides up to 10 days. The back seat is useless and dangerous unless you put a back rest on it to stop your lady from falling on the back wheel and being thrown under the seat. Ducatti, like BMW, is renowned for expensive maintenance and parts. The dealer/service network is limited compared to Japanese makes. The belt drive is vulnerable to rocks and damage in the way the bike is designed. One day when I am rich I would like to have a Ducatti so I can join all the cool kids on their 20 minute rides to Starbucks.
