Would this be your main bike or the second bike in your garage ?

@michaelpedicinjr Год назад

My only bike!

@TheAgalmic Год назад

It is my only bike (traded in my 1260s). Some people have said it's like having three bikes in one (naked, cruiser and sportbike).

@David-bf6pl Год назад

2nd bike. I have a 2021 Monster Plus.

@DSR1YT Год назад

@@David-bf6pl Nice choice, it would be a second bike for me too.

@AKDiavelV4 Год назад

@@David-bf6plsame here. Waiting on my Diavel V4 to arrive “any day now” according to our dealership. Thought about selling my ‘22 Monster, but I think I’ll just keep TwoCatis in the garage ;)

@jonathanloveday153 Год назад

Good vid and nice to see someone my size and height testing the bike. I've got mine coming in May, also gone for the touring pack! Intend to some miles on her. Can't wait.....

@DSR1YT Год назад

Thanks John, not long to wait now :). Enjoy your new ride.

@michaelpedicinjr Год назад

Terrific review and video. Mine just arrived at the dealership to be picked up. Very excited!

@DSR1YT Год назад

Thanks Michael, first ever ride on a Diavel, I’m glad I done it justice. What colour did you go for red or black?

@michaelpedicinjr Год назад

@@DSR1YT Black

@@michaelpedicinjr She sure does look good in black, im yet to see one in the flesh in red so ill hold my judgement to which one looks the best, enjoy your new ride Michael.

I can confirm this was the 2nd time I took my new 360 camera out. Turns out you can grind down the lense and body when going around the corners too tight. 🤦🏻

@nudhi Год назад

Great review! Would be interested to know how's the heat of the bike especially the leg area since Ducati can get quite hot. Thanks in advance.

@TheAgalmic Год назад

I've been riding mine for the past week and there's no discernable heat.

@DSR1YT Год назад

Thanks for the comment Nudhi, For the time I had the bike I didn't notice any heat, ive ridden a Ducati before and know exactly what you are referring to. The temp of the day I took this bike out was low, around 13 degrees, so that may change when it comes to the summer and hitting 30+ degrees.

@TheAgalmic Год назад

All Diavel V4s are coming from the factory with their mirrors slightly out of alignment. Get your dealer to adjust to the marks on the bars before the handover.

@DSR1YT Год назад

As mentioned in the video, this is a demo bike ive taken out to conduct this review video on, not my own personal bike. Out of alignment is a massive understatement. Ive never had a mirror that I can't put in to the right position myself. I shouldn't need a mechanic to align a mirror.

@michaeltelemachus5112 Год назад

It is not 'basically a V2' when the rear cylinders deactivate, it is acting more like a parallel twin. I don't think it is really a bruiser cruiser; the XDiavel is a though. My first time on this channel, and I enjoyed the video. Will watch more. Thank you.

@DSR1YT Год назад

Apologies Michael, i might not have articulated it very well by saying ‘basically a v2’. What i meant is how the bike/engine feels under the 4000rpm, a bit jerky and it feels like it wants you to go a bit faster to smooth it out. You don’t really get this feeling with the parallel twins. If that makes sense…! Glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment. Good to have you on board!

@Honda_Hooligan Год назад

This is my dream bike; although in red. Also, it absolutely HAS to have the Akrapovic! 😈

@DSR1YT Год назад

Not going to lie, I was a little disappointed their demo bike was in black and not red. Red makes it pop that little bit better. I couldn't afford the Akra exhaust for this haha.

@Honda_Hooligan Год назад

@@DSR1YT yeah, it's insanely expensive, but sounds amazing! ProjectMoto did a great video on it. 👍🏻

@prajwalkashyap4741 Год назад

Akrapovic Exhaust the full system worth 5k or something isn't for street use, it's a racing exhaust not approved for road use, so no use to spend that extra cash , slip ons might be better and cheaper options

@loki32687 Год назад

Waiting for mine to come in. Random question, can you store a hat anywhere on it?

@DSR1YT Год назад

Not anywhere that I could see. I didn’t remove the seats so I can’t speak for under there.

@TheAgalmic Год назад

No you can't, I just have a spare USB cable and a micro backpack under my seat.

@Boxer1250RT Год назад

Another question is Multistrada V4S or the Diavel V4. Similar price point and engine. One is like the Swiss Army Knife and the later one is like a Bread Knife.

@DSR1YT Год назад

Agreed. I’ve tested the multistrada and that was an awesome machine. Better than the Diavel in my opinion.

@ricokimbro7865 Год назад

I love mine, but like you said mirrors suck! Ordered a pair of CRG bar end mirrors.

@DSR1YT Год назад

Yeah easily enough fixed, just a shame they couldn’t make them decent for that price range.

@paulforrest2549 Год назад

Besides the snatchy throttle, any other concerns with how the bike rides?? How does it stack rank with your favorite bikes?

@DSR1YT Год назад

This bike sits in a funny category in my mind, it's a funny mix between a cruiser and a lowered naked bike. It's not real relaxed like some cruisers out there, definitely more aggressive in that sense, and if you want to get on it in the twisties you won't be worrying about scraping those pegs. Other than the throttle it would probably be some of the vibrations coming through the bike, but they are trying something new with the front two cylinders and this is the cause of those vibrations. It's Ducati, you either love them or hate them as they do things differently to the rest of the bike market half the time. Ride Safe.

@TheAgalmic Год назад

I own this bike and I haven't seen any snatchy-ness while cruising through town or any vibrations.

@DSR1YT Год назад

@K1200S08 Год назад

Why you say V2? When running on front cylinders only, it's more like I2 (inline TWO)

@DSR1YT Год назад

When I said this I wasn’t really referring to the physical layout of the engine. More the fact of how the bike felt under 4000rpm, a bit jerky and not particularly smooth, some traits which you get with a v2 engine. Apologies if I didn’t articulate it properly in the video. Hope it makes a little more sense now. 😁

@mart7798 Год назад

Im not a big fan of the ducati diabolocal tbh.i dont know where its sits?if i swapped my superduke r for one would i be happy or sad?i dont think there would be gains for me,but maybe there would from a cruising point of view?good review though!

@DSR1YT Год назад

Thanks Mart. I get where you are coming from, it’s why I mention in the video of it being a good second bike potentially. Everyone is different, I got my Harley as a second bike, I don’t think I could have one as the sole bike in my garage though. Same goes for this Diavel.

@mart7798 Год назад

@@DSR1YT i think if i had to get another bike it would be an adventure type bike,my mates got the tenere and he loves it.maybe once the drz is gone i might take a couple out.

@DSR1YT Год назад

That’s why I’ve settled on the GSA this time round. When these tyres need changing I’ll get some more off road orientated ones. Plenty of green lanes around me as well.

@mart7798 Год назад

@@DSR1YT is it not abit weighty for green lanes?round here green lanes are full of ktm250's and such like!

@DSR1YT Год назад

@@mart7798 around Salisbury plains as long as it’s in the summer it’s all hard pack tracks which it will be fine for. If I could afford a light weight off roader I would but sadly funds won’t stretch that far. Got to make do with what I’ve got. I’m yet to try it out so I’ll have to see how I get on with the extra weight of the GSA.

@wills5482 Год назад

Is this new engine better than the Testhatetta?

@DSR1YT Год назад

Sadly this is the first Diavel ive tested so I wouldn't want to answer that, hopefully someone else who have ridden both can help you out.

@zainmohammed3257 Год назад

Does it feel like you’re sitting more “in“ the bike than “on” it?

@DSR1YT Год назад

I’d go more in it. I sat on the street fighter afterwards and that was like I was perched on top of it, a very strange stance for a naked bike. The Diavel is a very comfortable riding position, not aggressive on any of its angles Ie wrists, knees etc.

@zainmohammed3257 Год назад

Thanks for your reply. One more question, does it have a fuel gauge?

@DSR1YT Год назад

Not your traditional fuel gauge but it does have a fuel range in the top left corner of the tft.

@TheAgalmic Год назад

@@zainmohammed3257 There's a dedicated fuel indicator section under settings where you can swap between a traditional seven-segment gauge or remaining distance (which is brilliant).
