Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Diavel 1200 2018

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.

BMW M 1000 R 2023

The M 1000 R is definitely well done and the whole package fits. Even though it is certainly aimed more at sporty riders, the bike can also prove itself well on longer country road rides with minor restrictions in terms of riding comfort. The lower, straight handlebars and forward seating position in combination with the higher footrests automatically result in a sportier dynamic that does not give rise to couch feelings, especially on longer rides. On the other hand, there is good contact with the front wheel and sufficient lean angle freedom. In combination with the powerful drive, the Hyper Naked definitely plays in the top league. Apart from slight vibrations, the powerful RR engine is a force to be reckoned with in the naked segment. The new electronics help even less experienced riders to release the concentrated power in a controlled manner with conservative settings.

powerful and at the same time well controllable motor

great and adjustable electronics
