2023 Ducati Diavel Darkstealth v4 with akrapovic racing exhaust first Ride 

Roy, great question. I am going to make a video about this in the future. To answer your question about these two bikes it is complicated. When comparing a track focused super naked to a “muscle” cruiser it’s like apples to oranges right? They are both “sport” like bikes, and dominate comparatively in there genres of bikes. So comparing them head to head isn’t fair for either bike. Acceleration?.?.?. 0-60 would have to be given marginally to the Diavel by less than a second depending on who is riding both bikes. Handling, are we comparing comfort handling or track handling? Comfort handling hands down the Diavel but both bikes are comfortable to ride all day no doubt. Not to mention the Diavel comes with cruise control, Bluetooth navigation, and other creature comforts that are not available on the Streetfighter. Sport handling, tearing it up in the twisties, the Streetfighter is going to take the cake. Overall fun factor, this one is splitting hairs because both bikes are ridiculously fun and will leave you smiling ear to ear. Whether you are a cruiser person or not the Diavel invokes involuntary laughter and joy long after you get off of it. The Streetfighter will make you question your sanity. It literally tries to kill you when you dare to hold the throttle open. My advice, most Ducati dealers will let you schedule test rides. Go ride them both. Personally I want both. -Tim

It was due to the go pro media mod. I was unaware of the issue.

Thanks for the comment, This reminds me of what happens when my toddler gets ahold of my phone.

@@TheDucatiDads Hmm. Well if it only makes it sound better depends on the cost. I was told £5000 for race exhaust. That's too much for a sound difference only Ducati enthusiasts appreciate. Better be a big difference methinks.

Correction: apologies, our previous replies to your questions came after a recent video that we posted about an exhaust that we installed on one of our bikes. To answer your question, the exhaust installed on the diavel v4 does improve hp. The tune smoothed out the factory fuel maping making the ride-ability better. Way better throttle response.

You’re correct, I made a mistake because it’s equipped with a quick shifter. My bad, thanks for pointing it out.

@@TheDucatiDads No worries, I have the V4, its amazing, just a shame the weather is shit in UK, cant get on it for a ride.
