Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Diavel 1200 2012

The Ducati Diavel 1200 is a successful prestige object that really leaves no one cold. In the Cromo version, this dignified, elitist flair that defines a Diavel comes across particularly well, without becoming obtrusive or even embarrassing.

Unconventional look

sporty, upright seating position

agile

low weight

dynamic rideability

gentle but powerful brakes.

Chassis worse compared to the competition.

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2014

More power, more kilos, more rubber . It is certainly not the most manageable, which makes climbing the Tyrolean mountains over hundreds of hairpin bends exhausting at times. But it is more mature than the Street Triple, knows how to glide along the valley smoothly and without getting on your nerves, and for some reason feels more trustworthy and secure.

Powerful three-cylinder engine

sporty driving feel

upright seating

stable frame.

Showa suspension elements slightly uncomfortable

stubborn handling.
