Ducati Diavel 1200 2012

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.

Ducati Panigale V4 2024

Ducati Panigale V4 2024

The conclusion is very easy for me. Ducati has made an "already almost perfect motorbike" even better without changing anything in a negative way. Although riding on the road with this radical fairing probably causes a stir and one or two riders find it uncomfortable, they obviously feel more comfortable with it on the race track. You get a motorbike "out of the box" that resembles a Superbike World Championship bike more than ever. I also believe that the V4 2018 owner is quite capable of improving his lap times with the 2020 version. My tip: if you take care to enlarge the tank or make it more grippy, you could go over the centre even more with your hull.

Clever electronics

Noticeable upgrade to last year's model

More accessible than ever before

Tank is too small from an ergonomic point of view

straight-line driving from 250km/h in the wet
