2020 Diavel 1260 S First Ride & Review!!! 

I gotta say this is one of the best all around, most fun bikes I've ever ridden. Ducati knocked it out of the park with this one. If you have a chance to ride the new 2020 Diavel 1260 S, I highly suggest you do. This is on my list for my next personal bike for sure. Huge thanks to www.ducati.com for sending out this bike for me!

The bike is gorgeous.... The scenery is BEAUTIFUL!

You nailed it; this bike is for someone who can can only have one bike but wants three. I have the first gen Diavel which had the heart and brakes of a super bike. The absolute best part about the Diavel is that you can go full throttle without worrying about it rolling backwards...the front comes up and goes back down smoothly without you having to cut power. I am yet to lose a 0-100 on my bike. Love, love, love the Diavel.

Got the 1260s a month ago, and OMG this bike is just amazing. Big smile constantly while riding :) Great review Jaret, and I subscribed to your channel, its alway's fun to watch your vids.. thank you! (greetings from the Netherlands)

I test rode this bike during a demo ride at the motogp round at COTA. I'm a sport bike guy myself and I was really impressed by this bike as well. The torque is really fun! 😄

5 years ago I though I was finished buying motorcycles, Having a Ducati St2 and a modded 749s!! I thought the Diavel was pointless and didn’t get it, or very much like it.(FatMonster). I was talked into taking one out, while my bikes were in service!😳🤯 A year later a Diavel Carbon Red replaced my St2, and retired my 749 to the track! (I still have all the pieces) Once you get one, it ruins the experience of every other bike, except maybe a duel-sport, no off-road capacity! I’ve had no urge to get another superbike.... until the PanigaleV4 & BMW S-1000!! I’ll probably get one used and keep my Diavel also!🤔🤷‍♂️ Happy New Year!

Bought mine in October and love it. The Ducati Diavel 1260S is a dream bike I now own. Thanks for the video and input

I agree with the sentence “anyone can ride it “. Diavel was my first bike and of course you have to be careful while you get use to ride it .. but after some months you feel like one with the bike ...

I saw Stephen Amell ride this bike in the series "Arrow" and I was hooked instantly. Now watching this video, I can't save my savings.... Thanks man. Next month for sure! Ducati, here I come.

I put my wife on my 2015 version the one time I had to go 2 1/2 hrs by hwy and she is a beginner. She did great and loved the bike almost as much as I did even though she was only in urban mode. If you think the bike is that good and I felt that way from the predecessor, I definitely am going to get one. The look to me is so much cleaner and what you said about the foot pegs is the same issue I had on my 2015 but still loved it. Mine did have a false neutral issue that Ducati fixed for me and after that it was great. You definitely made my mind up!

Whatsup Jaret 👍🏻 great start to 2020 with the review of this Diavel 1260s really enjoyed this. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good review Christina (don't know why the cameraman kept talking over you), I agree, the black paint scheme makes the tank look smaller.

I am also a shorty but a bit heavier then your assistant. I have had Mv Augusta s ,Buell,and even an Bimota,but this is the most fun to ride and because of it being low is easier to ride.

Well your reviews of the 1260s sold me! I’ve been ripping around NH on mine. And yes, the Termi exhaust gives it the roar to match its power. UFB.

Best bike reviewer I've came across no doubt

Jaret, good video. I've had my 2020 1260 S for about 2 months now (think I got one of the first 2020 models in So Cal) and I absolutely love it. Definitely a lot more fun in sport mode, as I like the torque and throttle response much more than in the other 2 modes. The width of the rear tire is super sick, too. This thing rides as sexy as it looks. Only (obvious, I guess) complaint, if you wanna call it that, is that the stock exhaust is WAY too quiet and lame--thank you, State of CA. Once that's changed out with the Termignoni exhaust available for this bike (full titanium system coming soon), it'll be an amazingly beautiful machine. Seating position couldn't be more comfortable, either. Maybe I'll post a vid of my bike soon--I have the grey/silver color scheme. Anyway, hope some of my 2-month riding time comments are helpful to your viewers. Highly recommend this bike to anyone wanting comfort, power and definitely good looks! Enjoy, folks.

Hey man, great video! Any suggestions on how to remove this ugly radiator cover with the turn signals? I liked your XDiavel’s turn signals but what about this stupid cover?

Fantastic review! In your opinion, is it worth the extra bucks to get the S model over the base model? Also you mentioned the S model soaks up the bumps better than the base model. So it's more comfortable?

Great videos on this bike my friend. I'm itching to get a bike again this year. I've had a bunch of super bikes growing up (all sold now). Really wanted the new Fat Bob for the last few years but now that I've seen this bike (in person and every video) I'm obsessed. Clearly its a great bike to ride, but my question for everyone would be this. For $23k would you buy this or is there a better bike to spend that kind of money on?

I really love your videos jaret. Not to mention the bikes. 😍😍😍😍 Keep up with the videos.

the video of you buying one for your dad made me go and buy a 2011 diavel, this video made me go and part ex it and buy this bike ! ha.....keep up the great work team !

Great video, thank you Jaret. I am looking at getting back in to bikes after 10 years out (ex Kawasaki ZX636 rider) and was looking at getting a cruiser like a Triumph Bonneville Bobber, a Harley Sportster S or a Indian Scout Bobber, but the Diavel just seems to tick every box!

I have seen you do a few bikes now and use carbon fiber wheels. I wanted to know who you talk to/go through on getting them and do they have different style types? I was wanting to look up possible parts for possibly getting the 1260 S in the near future. Any advice you have as I never changed up any of my previous bikes in the past.

2020 Diavel 1260 S compared to the 1200S Monster, what would you say? I am hesitating between both.

Heya Jaret , long time viewer , first time commenter .. I wanted to ask what camera set-ups do you use and more specifically what set-up do you use for your helmet , helmet cam, and mic ..?

I have 2018 Ducati scrambler sport do you think my next upgrade to this bad ass would be a good move

Im so wery close to pull the trigger on this. 2020 black (standard version) with a Termignone system. Thanks for the great Review on this bike. I think the Diavel 1260 is a wery special bike both in design and how diverse the bike is. In the same time its a big financial leap to take but you only live once ; )

Hi Jaret. Hopefully you'll see this as I know you posted this a while back...being familar with both this and the X, which do you prefer? I'm thinking about getting one. I had an '18 XDiavel. Currently riding a Ninja 1000SX

Good video you spleen many good things and easy to understand

I don’t even ride but I want one after watching ur video 😂🤣

Great review!!

Could you specifically show us the 2.5sec 0-60 on to locked on full throttle like showing your hand like going no further if not could you get Ducati to give me a go if you cant or someone else

The weight of the bike helps it on the highway a lot. You don't get thrown around on it. It doesn't shimmy around on bridge gaps and new asphalt patch crossings. I like to call it a full bike. 😁

Hey Jaret You are in a unique position to give a little more info comparing the XDiavelS and the new Diavel. 1. How is the difference between belt and chain, 2. The Ohlins was added to your project bike - I would like to know more about how your project bike compared to the new 1260s. 3. Ducati offers mid-controls for the X also and the lines seem blurred as to which one to choose. I want a fun bike that I can spend a whole day riding and not feel beat up. Not a track bike. A sporty/muscular cruiser. They are not available for test rides yet here in Michigan and with this shelter in place. You are the only source. So if you have the time please answer here or in a follow up video. For me money is not the issue. I will build out either bike so I can make the ohlins and mid-controls change on the xdiavel if ergos would be better and belt is better than chain. On either bike I think I would want to have or keep mid controls but add some forward touring pegs to allow a little stretch while riding. I have a road glide that I love and can hop on and come back in a week in a moments notice. I also bought a GS for when I go solo - so I can tour faster but it’s honestly uncomfortable and tiring to ride. I want a fun bike for just day trips. All riders like a little speed and power on tap for when they want. This Diavel seems to fit the bill. I never rode the X but I did ride the first gen Diavel and it was uncomfortable. Too forward and not relaxed on my wrists. Seems like both these were fixed by X and New Diavel. I enjoy your channel and reviews but I think you were having too much fun on this one. A little more info about the above please.

Jaret, whats your take on this and the Monster 1200 S??

enjoyed the video!

any protector if you get a slide?

Very nice bike!! I’m a new subscriber!! I’m 5’6 I’m wondering could I flat foot this beauty

how does it compare to a bike like ninja z1000 or another sport/cruise bike

Thanks Jaret... You sold me on this bike. Its everything I am looking for. I want the wet cement grey though!

what bike do you prefer a Diavel 1260 s or x Diavel s?

This one is expensive. I've been reading on forums and the first version of Diavel has a shit load of reliabilty issiues. Is it true ? Anyone has any info about that based on personal experience ?

I'll have to go ride one of these it is a very cool bike

Ya for sure Ducati has perfected the Art of making a great motorcycle , and so many great bikes to choose from.

Been riding it for 2- weeks, but its a first ride !!

Did you see the Lamborghini edition that was unveiled today? Holy cow.

The Diavel is my dream bike, now that the diavel v4 is out i would realy love if you could make a video comparing the 2. Cause idk if i should go for a 1260s or v4

which camera and microphone (and other setup) have you used while on bike?

Thats my dream motorbike man till now hoping that I cab get one

Picked up an xDiavel S in 3 months earlier but love your review of the Diavel and now you have me thinking I need to bring home it's big bother. If you had to choose between the xDiavel S and Diavel 1260 S ... What's your choice?

I am saving for this bike....once I reach the showroom price I m going to buy it..

Beautiful video! I ordered one of the last new bikes as my first bike. Can‘t wait to get my license and start riding it. I got exactly that version and think it‘s the most beautiful one 💖🏍️💞 Already spent about 700,- € on safety accessories 😬

You've been riding Diavels for as long as I've been watching you. Can you may be do a long term reliability review of Diavel ?

Jaret which bluetooth headset do you and Christina use?

Not a fan of the headlight from the side view just looks like its not there and missing . I would relocate the plate but other then that great bike.

Hi jaret I’m still waiting to use mine in the uk 🇬🇧 but try the launch button on the bar (DPL) there’s not much info on it but a launch control on a bike is insane All good thing

Two things: 1. Wouldn't the Yamaha VMax be a competitor? 2. What about a small wind screen up front?

How is it for short riders? I’m 5 foot

What’s the comfort level for the passenger?

Nice video!! Thank you!! Before I saw your video, I was all about the Harley and Triumph. Now I am considering the Ducati Diavel 1260S. I’m just curious. Does this Diavel 1260S have a lower seat height than the XDiavel??? Because I was looking at an XDIAVEL yesterday, and I had to tip toe on it even with kick stand down. I am 5’6” and taller than this young lady in the video. How can she be flat footed? My guess is the Diavel 1260S has a lower seat height. Is this correct?? I love this bike. I hope that’s the case…..that this model Diavel 1260S has a lower seat height than the XDiavel. Please let me know.

I now know how you would rate the bike based on how high your voice gets when you're talking about it. Lol. But I'm getting this bike at some point. I still have to test ride it when I get a chance (I live in Michigan, so not any time soon), but I don't think it'll change my mind.

Can you review Honda CBR 1000R 2019.

What the riding gear you wear?

Banging Review!

I agree with the foot pegs being annoying when stopping. Apart from that, it’s incredible to ride. I have the base model and it’s still so much fun.

Would really like to see a gen 2 v 1260 companion.

Great bike and a great place to ride any chance you might have a ride out with your Dad on his bike and giving his perspective for the Older rider cheers Dave Uk

I am looking to buy a bike, strongly considering this. can anyone suggest a bike that is sporty but not so aggressive sporty seating. I like the seating position on this diavel. I am just looking for bike that looks good for 5’5” guy

Pushed me over the edge, just contacted my dealer.. my VRod is going to have to make room in the garage this Spring.. the Diavel can’t be denied

Great video, this made me want this bike even more, im going to buy one next week :-D Best regards from sweden

Thanks for showing that the lovely lady can 'flat foot' the bike yours is the first vid to show that - they all go on about this and that but none mention the seat height when the bike has a rider.... very important thing !

Good job... so much better than the guys that do a review like a book report....

love it .. is this a one persone bike ?

Oh, Man! This bike is awesome ... I wanna know whether the footpegs are adjustable or not...?

How much the top speed????

Is this a good bike for beginners? 😅

How about the KTM 1290 superduke

I think the Ducati cafe racer bar end mirror would look better on the diavel.

Great video.am enjoying your channel. Alternatively more up beat than most of the vloggers here in the uk .I have a triumph speed rs.but I think that Ducati could be my next bike .but also love the aprilia tuono v4 ? Bikes are all so good at the moment. Keep up the good work 👍

Love this test ride on these dream roads 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Lucky man Bro 😉 So eager to have mine !

hi Jaret got a question, when watching some of your videos sometime your speed goes higher than the speed limit , if the police see this can you get prosecuted? I think in England you can loose your licence for this cheers dave

I was wondering what’s your opinion on this Diavel S vs. X Diavel S. Then you said this is better in every way. I was like 🤯😱?! I was expecting some kind of pros and cons on each one.

11:43. Did you seriously look down at your crotch and say "Its such an awesome package? LOL. Loved the vid.

Well, you've convinced me to go in for a test drive, great sales pitch JC! Question is, why would I get this bike when the Streetfighter V4 is a beast too (208 hp, 90.4 lb-ft) but a bit cheaper???

Your are just a lucky person that can buy a dream motorbike

Nice bike

How is the legroom?

Nice bike 👍🏼 Happy New Year bro! God Bless!

Every time you twist that throttle you laugh out loud. Totally sold.

Where is Kristina channel ?

Hi Jaret...Alex here your Fun here in Uganda, Africa..I love what you do with Bikes..sooo much talent🤗🥰

Je te souhaite une très joyeux Noël bonne année 2020

Hey man love the video!

I'm thinking about getting a v2 or v4 or the new Aprilia rs 660. I'm riding a Daytona 675 now, what would you recommend? I don't necessarily need more power with the v4 but I want more haha

I get it Dude the bikes Awsome I’ll go get one tomorrow,👍 good video

How does it compare to the indian ftr 1200s?

hÆy Jaret, Which one would you say has the most FUN FACTOR? Ducati Panigale V4 or Ducati Diavel 1260 S? =-)

2:31 "I've done that before actually" 🌝

CK looks pretty good on that bike! Is this more fun than the Tuono? Looks like it's more comfortable and rideable for the street

That was an awesome review!
