Ducati Diavel Carbon 2012

Ducati Diavel Carbon 2012

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.

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2014

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2014

The Multistrada requires a willingness to compromise, which is often compensated for by the wonderful performance from the 150 hp engine and the exclusive flair that a Ducati spreads. If you are looking for a comfortable sedan for thousands of kilometres on American highways, you should leave the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S alone.

Brutal power delivery - but with adjustment options

inimitable sound

efficient cornering.

Uneven bagging at very low revs - interesting in tight corners

weak rear brake.
