2019 Ducati Diavel 1260S First Ride Review (4K) 

Agree :)

Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks Simon

We should be back in the garage next week.

You're man enough if you ride the RSV4!

Can confirm, insurance rates for this bike are ridiculously low.

They are both kinda lost in the middle between cruiser and sports bike, but yeah, the Diavel leans more to the sporty side while the XDiavel is closer to a normal cruiser. Anyway, they both look BADASS, they ride great and perform amazingly.

Thanks, we're working on it.

@@BikeWorldTVshow it's ironic and funny cuz a channel called powerdrift In India reviews small bikes like KTM 390s and Z650s and they get 1.3 million subscriberss! What's is going on here? Your insightful answer would be appreciated. 😊

@@ChronicTHCBlaze It's the size of the market, only 1 Million bikers here in the UK but everyone's on a bike in India.

Ben Par you really have got some issues Ben. You know the saying, if you don’t like what we do...

@@benpar8120 Not really constructive criticism when you saying this on other peoples comments is it. Ben, we can only work with the people who want to work with us, Ducati see the value in what we do. Some others prefer conventional media, like works printed in paper. We've recently been on 2 Honda, 2 BMW and a Harley launch, all of those vids will soon be loaded. Also, we have BJ working on a Suzuki SV650, can't get any more grounded than that. Lets look at the last 10 vids we've done, Diavel, Moto Guzzi, Multistrada, SV650, KTM SMC, Yamaha R125, Triumph Speed Twin, Another SV650, Indian and Honda. Looks like you're seeing too much red Ben. We embrace feedback mate and take it all on, sometimes it just comes down to the timing of the launches and we have no control over that. What would you like us to do?

Shark raw

Hopefully it will be but it will also probably be 100kg more.

MT01, don’t see many of them about. Diavel was great fun, I’d be happy on one up the A13.

Santi Dali I found it’s call the Shark

No mate you owned an x diaBELL 😂😂😂

Floyd Elliott Did you mention??? Huh? Are you the presenter?

Greg coffeeroaster I’ve got an FXDR at the minute, Greg. Video on the way.

Its' a Shark: www.shark-helmets.com/metro/drak.html Cheers

fantastic J Very noticeable are the much narrower handle bars, which I prefer.

I owned a 2016 XDIAVEL S and have recently bought a MY20 1260. Gear box is much better on the new model, riding position is perfect for me (5’10) on the 1260. Used to get numb backside on longer rides on the XDiavel. Both bikes are amazing and i personally like the look of the XDiavel more, the Diavel is better to ride (better balance of comfort with the performance. The 1260 handles just a bit better)

Shamone MoFo I agree, the first model had a tendency to push wide if you let it. This model is certainly a more refined bike to ride and didn’t do what the old model did from apex to exit of a corner.

Brian Gillick the brand is Shark

The rear tire makes it a bit slower to tip in and it takes a little more effort as well. Miles more comfortable than a Monster though. I did 6 hours on mine last Sunday and hopped off feeling great.

Chris M It’s not a nimble bike. It takes effort to get it around corners but it’s stable as a train. Amazing for long distances. If you want a nimble sports bike that you can also cruise, go for the Yamaha mt-10.

I have a Mk 1 Diavel (for about 2 years). The suspension is quite firm, I have it wound right off and the bike is good to ride and handles very well without too much jarring. If you turn the damping right up then it can get too harsh, but I wouldn't choose to have it like that.

The V max is as heavy as an Harley. Love the VMAX
