Ducati Diavel 1200 2015

Ducati Diavel 1200 2015

All in all, the Ducati Diavel delivers exactly what it promises visually and surprises with easy rideability and nimble speed on hearty motorbike tracks. Optics and workmanship testify to a real passion for motorbikes. And as befits a devilish motorbike, the Diavel leaves no one cold at the regulars' table.

Improved engine compared to previous model

precise clutch

easy flank change.

Slightly uncomfortable on lousy asphalt.

Harley-Davidson Sportster S RH1250S 2021

Harley-Davidson Sportster S RH1250S 2021

The Sportster S returns to the tradition of this model series - yes, it really used to be about sport! That's why the latest American creation, with its 122 hp and 125 Nm of torque, doesn't want to be a cruiser, but instead is almost classless in its pursuit of customers. What is on offer is a wonderful poser bike that is surprisingly easy to ride. The single-disc brake at the front works well and the fat 160 front tyre steers better than you would expect. Only the hard suspension makes the rider suffer on longer distances - which of course doesn't matter at all in front of the ice cream parlour. Electronics and safety are top-notch, which mitigates the tidy price for true fans.

Powerful, refined engine

brakes very good for a single-disc system

full electronics package with cornering ABS and lean angle-dependent traction control

Chassis really hard

turn-in behaviour somewhat unwilling due to wide front tyre
