Ducati Diavel Carbon 2014

Ducati Diavel Carbon 2014

No matter how you look at it, it's hard to pick a winner with two such independent cruisers. In terms of handling, the Ducati Davel has the edge, of course, especially in tighter terrain, where it benefits from better lean angle clearance and a sportier riding position. The fact that these two fundamentally different motorbikes are nevertheless in the same segment shows once again how well manufacturers now know how to fill even the smallest and most extravagant niche with interesting machines.

Engine as powerful as it is refined

brutal acceleration

unusual appearance

agile handling despite wide 240 rear tyre

taut chassis

very good brakes.

Shoes/boots are abraded when driven fast

jerks when pushed

does not allow comfortable cruising

very high price in the carbon version.
