Well, I've been drooling over this bike for a while now, and we all know how fast it is on the open road with its top speed of 160 mph. However, what I really wanted to know is how if felt in real world conditions, which includes urban riding, often in traffic; this is really important, because I have the Diavel S earmarked as my next bike.
Having taken one out for a test ride I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. What a superb machine, and what amazing power delivery from that 159 bhp, 1260cc engine. Amazing torque too, even down at 2-3000 rpm.
I should have mentioned in the narrative, of course, that this demonstrator is running the (relatively expensive) option of a full Termignoni exhaust system. Ir's a fair bit louder than stock, and also adds some additional horses to the already impressive power output.
A big thank you to Mike at On yer Bike/Ducati in Aylesbury (www.onyerbike.net/) for giving me the opportunity to ride it, and I hope you enjoy my not very technical musings. If you do, then please give the video a thumbs-up, and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already done so.
Right, I'm off to plan how and when this beauty is going to be mine :)
