Ducati Diavel 1200 2016

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 Softail Fat Bob 114 FXFBS 2021

The Fat Bob is the sportiest of the 8 new Harley-Davidson Softail models. You can tell not only by the fact that this wicked muscle bike is already visually close to being a naked bike, but also by the components: 43 mm upside-down fork, dual brake discs and 180 rear tyres. The surprisingly light-footed handling cannot be prevented by the 150 front tyres and 306 kilos of weight; only the lean angle clearance could be better. But the overall appearance is right and the big V2 engine delivers 94 hp and 155 Nm of torque (the Fat Bob is also available with a "smaller" engine with 87 hp and 145 Nm of torque).

Powerful engine

good brakes

comfortable seating position

fine workmanship

cool look

little lean angle clearance

high weight

not the mini fittings of the Street Bob

high price
