2016 Ducati XDiavel S - Jay Leno's Garage 

"So you can't fit any Kardashians in the backs" -"No, unfortunately not.. OR! fortunately" I love this guy.

Is it just me, or is that back wheel one of the coolest wheels ever? Really like that!

Classic Leno. Just turns on the engine right in the middle of the guys sentence.

The Kardashian roast though.

If I had a dollar everytime that dude said "Absolutely" I'd be able to buy that Ducati...

The tambourine in the back pocket thing was a pretty good joke, and Jay just blew right past it. lol

Jay ( if I may ) I want to thank you once again for allowing us drooling guys and gals to see the automotive world that we would never really get to see . Your a down to earth gentleman and I respect that .

Hello Jay: Thanks for this great website. I'm an 78 year old guy that has a very long bike riding history. British origionally and emigrated to Canada when I was 15 Y/O. I started with a 47 Ariel 500cc, single, basket case and then a 1950, 1000cc Square Four. I then had a bunch of them. I usually bought them in pieces , fixed them up and sold them. The last Square four. (One of the last!) It was a 1957, Series, 2. It was really smooth, and very quick. I had a twin 700cc twin Royal Enfield and then moved over to Hondas. I had three Honda, 4 cylinder bikes and a 250cc single scrambler, the last Honda I had was a early '90s 900 cc inline 4, a great bike. I 'm staying in the Baja, Mexico at this time and have just finished refurbishing a 2005, 798 cc Ducati Monster Twin. What a great bike!! I loved working on it an even rode it for a bit. Anyway , I'd like to thank you again for your really great web site , I really enjoy everything , your really eclectic collection of great bikes and cars. I Also had a few nice Brit cars, a "57, 6 cylinder E-Type 4.2 liter , 2+2 , in British racing green also a '74 XJ12 also in BRG and so on. Jay, I tell people that If I ever come back in this world, If I have a choice, I would love to come back as Jay Leno. Thanks again for all you do Jay. Terry Southgate

One of these days I'd love to shake Jays hand, He's a real down to earth kinda guy period. He's genuinely into motorcycles and cars and understands their beauty, grace, styling and the freedoms you get while riding these terrific machines. Thanks Jay!

Jason seems very knowledgeable of his own brand. A lot of times Jay gets these CEOs and Presidents on here who don't know what the hell they are talking about and almost make themselves look foolish. This is a nice change.

Wahoo!

That camera angle of rim spokes is trippy to watch!

its funny this vid is almost 25 minutes long and it seemed like it was over in a snap I enjoy this channel to much.

the whole time I was thinking,"Jay's gonna buy this bike."

My wife and I spent 3 days leading the XDiavel demo days in Atlanta, GA earlier this year. It was a last minute deal for us to lead the rides and up to that point, neither one of us knew anything about the new XDiavel. I was familiar with the original Diavel, but not the new XDiavel. Surprisingly for both of us, we came away after 3 days or finding the bike totally impressed by the XDiavel. My wife especially who is not a fan of cruisers at all and is on the petite side was totally in love with the bike. Even though it appears on the larger side, she loved riding it and found it so easy to ride it aggressively. Ducati did a great job with this bike! Another surprising aspect we found from the demo rides is that we would start everyone in touring mode to give them the full power, but not the snappiness of sport mode. They could take a 2nd ride and then we would show them how to change modes and try them all. It turned out quite a few people actually enjoyed Urban mode, especially in that 35-55mph range. We ourselves felt that Urban mode worked very well and gave the bike a nice kick in the lower RPM grunt area. Sport mode was certainly a lot of fun when you really wanted to kick it up. There were a couple places we really got to lean the bikes over and again I was blown away with how much lean angle you could get from this bike and how well it handled in the turns! Great review Jay!

Great to see the master back on 2 wheels - seemed decidedly non plussed by the whole affair when in the garage but seemed to lighten up a bit when on the road - you can always trust 2 wheels to make you feel better! ...and I agree, California is a fabulous place to ride a bike, loved my time on the vanilla Diavel there this time last year.....great bike....

I really like the narrative from Jay as he rides that bike- real time commentary is a valuable piece of feedback!

Ducati and MV Agusta are my favorite motorcycle brands

7:24 Dragging on the rear tire... fantastic imagery there, guys!

The first thing I said to the wife when I got home from reviewing it last week was I'm glad I don't have an extra 22k laying around because I'd have a new XDiavel S in the garage!

11:05 "Yeah, it's got a key, shuttup."

@10:46 Jay gives Zero Fucks.. Coolest guy in Showbiz. and @ 11:02 sub zero Fucks given.

Good video.When the CEO of Ducati talks Jay crosses his arms like he's not really interested in what he says as Jay knows pretty much the answers.When Jay talks he unfolds his arms.When the CEO had more to say Jay starts up the bike,LOL. Classic Jay.I like Jay because of his quirks and the cool person that he is as nothing really fazes him.

As the owner of a 2020 XDs now for 4 years, I can tell you it is fantastic in stock form but once you add the Termi exhaust with the upmap, it’s simply amazing. Wakes the bike up like you can’t imagine and it sounds unbelievable.

i need to stop watching motorcycle videos, im broke... i can't afford one.

There you go Harley Davidson. That's how to make a cruiser that's not only comfy but also fun. A cruiser that will perform when you want it to.

Getting back into riding after a decade off. Jay brought my attention to this bike and I drove one this weekend. Gorgeous bike and so fast and nimble for a cruiser. Really is a class of its own. You can find these a lot cheaper used now as well.

So I went down to the Ducati dealership and bought myself a COMPUTER. It has 50 driving modes, 51 riding modes, and a light up LED display. It makes a "beep-boop" sound as I go down the road!

need more two wheels videos plz... Bike is awesome !

With all this tech I'm glad I learned on dirtbikes.

Other reviewers: can I please borrow one your bikes/cars for a review. Jay Leno: I need your CEO and one of those new bikes

Jay still seems under the weather a little....hope he gets back to 100% soon.

As always, Jay does not let someone finish what he was saying :D right before Jay started engine :D

"You're not gonna get any Kardashians on the back" 😂😂😂

i love the way that bike sounds in the intro

I so appreciate the gracious approach that Jay takes to these. Even if it has a characteristic he doesn't like he is ok with saying "I am not crazy about that but it is still a really nice bike!"

Good looking bike and I bet it rips!!

This bike is a good fit for you Jay!

Thank you for the great videos Jay. You are awesome! The look of this bike is polarizing for sure. I've always been a sport bike rider. I hated the way it looked until I rode one. Then bought a used gen 2 Diavel a week later. Now I admire it's design every time I see the bike. It demands attention in public as well. It's like driving around an exotic car.

You can tell Jay Leno was holding back on the praise at the end of the video... He knew this bike was killer.

Love the way Jay says fantastic lol

Definitely going to get it! Will be my next and first bike,🔥🔥🔥

Really enjoyed your report on the 701. I have recently bought a 401 Svartpillen and cannot believe how fantastic it is. I ha only positives too say... not a single negative.. it’s not a super bike or a Harley, but my mate has a Harley and wants to swop Out with me. It’s just ticks every box.. Beautiful power range, amazing brakes and at 155kg in weight it is just a pleasure to ride. You just fee in total control on the road and on the dirt. I’m 63 years old. I have found my dream bike. No it’s not a KYM duke, it’s a brand new Husky 2018 technology. You need RU-vid one to appreciate what I’m saying ... Cheers, Ken Taylor

LOVE the Galaxie 500 in the background ! , my 1st car was a 65 Galaxie 500 , 289 FMX trans , the 63 is my favorite , whether the 390 with 4 speed manual or the 427 love the body lines !

"Draggin it on the rear tire"... Well, that was _special_.

No Kardashians on the back seat. xD

Every time I see Jay's garage videos I get a little more dead because I will never have as cool as a any car as he has, but then I'm alive again because he has the best garage ever.

I had a 2002 Ducati 748S, it came from the factory with a lot of the 996 parts ! Especially the cool rims and tires that only come came with the 996. Absolutely beautiful bike it was just like this one Jay has on his show. They are all moving works of art 🖼️

The whole sport cruiser idea was already done way back in 1982 with my Honda V45 Magna

I love this bike - great review! Gave me my first wheelie so I'm sold

Recently, Rob Faretti said something along the lines of you have two ferarris in the garage because one is always broken. I repeat this same position to Ducati. Always have 2 because one of them is always broken.

Loved your side of the road chat Jay. Keep these coming

I'm a Car guy But thats one Sexy bike I would love to own

Today's word of the day - absolutely!

Perfect place for Ducati....spending it's life in a garage.

Such a great review. it exactly matched what i was looking for. I am seriously considering to test ride this bike.

A Ducati for America. No more stiff neck or sore back!

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I'm guessing that it pulls nicely

"...Oh Thanks for not wearing a tie, I like that." lol

996 is my ducati all time favourite..nothing can top that badboy.

Anyone a fan of the Ducati 899? I'm thinking about getting it soon

Wow! that's as beautiful as a Buell!

Yea it's a beautiful bike looks like a blast to ride and you get some comfort.

XDiavelS welcome to my garage, just bought one woohoo...done 300 miles so far and very impressed. Liked the look of the bike but was worried about the Ducati reputation of reliability. Anyway after watching numerous reviews and consultation with owners of (post Audi) Ducati bikes I decided to get one. Very very pleased.

Jay is gonna get it for himself!

Great! A bike that is not into "Fat Acceptance" ;)

Those forward foot pegs are so cool for the first thirty minutes or so and then you discover that it’s really difficult to shift your weight off your coccyx and before you know it, your entire butt and lower spine are aching! Most bikes have their pegs in the middle....there’s a good reason for that!

Thanks for showing the bike Jay. awesome.

I know a bunch of motovloggers who would love to own this bike! Definitely interesting in design but after seeing Snowcat's drama with the crappy Ducati, I would be skiddish at buying one.

The more I see of these advanced, modern new motorcycles, the more I love the simplicity of the Honda CB 750

Jay Leno roasted the Kardashians WHAT A FUCKING SAVAGE G

loved ducati's especially the WSB days, met foggy the weekend before his first world title in a motorbike shop in Portsmouth england

Interesting looking bike. Lots of technology. I challenge the adjective 'big' to describe the tach/speedometer. Even at 'speed only' or 'tach only' it is kind of small.

If you can't decide between a Cruiser and a Sports bike BUY This :D

thanks jay got more out of this than their video

CRIPES!!!!! I just missed you in Cleveland. Everyone I talked to that went to your show said you rocked it. One day I'll see you live. Keep up the good work with the show. Always great.

jay id love to see if u can find and have a Vector w8 in your show !

Jay is going to buy one

LOVE the Desmo Jay timeless masterpiece

This is the one bike that I can say does it all for me!

Ducati marketing dept: "we need to increase sales in the US: we need to sell a cruiser" Ducati accounting: "we don't have the money to develop a completely different bike." Ducati marketing: "fock it, just move the footpegs forward on the diavel, change the model name slightly by adding the letter X, and call it a cruiser" Ducati accouting: "That works for us." Jay @ 15:05 "I guess technically it's a cruiser cause of the feet forward thing."

speaking of what you'd expect from Ducati is what you'd expect from Ducati

Rode one the other day. Soo epic! Fast and super comfortable!

Beautiful Bike,,Jay is like Alot of us "older" Motorcycle Riders,,To Hear & See,Feel the Different Aspects of a bike is really what its about Feeling like "Your" Controlling the Bike,,Its a Beautiful Bike,& Its just Amazing the Technology...

hahaha poor guy. Jay completely cuts him off from talking by starting the bike

Forget this bike give me that OLD RED ONE BEHIND YOU!

Looking a lot better Jay! Great video guys.

Finally got a chance to test ride one and I was extremely impressed with the handling of the new cruiser!

"Non Kardashian passenger" lmao

You should test the Triumph Rocket 3

Like this bike! Test rode one about a year ago, definitely on my list of future purchases.

Enjoyed your video !

7:17 lol

Really love those rims they chose for this bike. Are those stock? They're seriously gorgeous

New drinking game....watch Jay's video and drink every time he says "fantastic".

Old School beats new school every time!

I think you are the first person on the planet not to be blown away by the Diavel's low-end torque... 130Nm at 6000RPM gives a very special experience, you just have to twist the throttle!

This cruiser is a game changer. Now it's time for japan to respond.

jay is bossing around with the smart watch! 😂

I know nothing about bikes, but it's gorgeous.
