Official debut today!

http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/618/8324/Motorcycle-Article/Ducati-Diavel-Makes-Official-Debut.aspx

Ducati General Manager Claudio Domenicali:
“We are here at EICMA this week with a series of important innovations that are totally in line with our strategic industrial plan and the Diavel is, without doubt, the most exciting innovation in our 2011 line-up because it represents a new concept of motorcycle. It is a naked because it is essential, light and agile; a cruiser because it is imposing and also comfortable with a passenger; and a sports bike because it has a powerful heart, muscles, and levels of performance that take your breath away.”

That is a sweet looking bike. It looks different, and isn't that the idea?

Looks like the old M109 mated with a 696. Either way, it's an aesthetic FAIL.

And it's supposed to be a Naked/Cruiser/Sportbike eh?

Wonder how well it pulls that off...(I'm betting not well).

Different =/= Good

I'll take something that's unique and attractive over different & ugly any day.

Anyone can make ugly.

Let's see... is Ducati wanting to take over all segments?

They have the supersports, the naked, the sports touring, the adventure touring, now this... But this... seems like a compromise, neither full cruiser nor full sports bike. :dunno:

What is it, a cruise-fighter? A sport-cruiser? A Florida model?

I'm thinking it's more of a California "Special Ed" Edition!

I dont like what I've seen of it. The front end looks like a scooter.

The more I look at it, the more its ugliness grows on me... Weird.

With much less hype and fanfare, Ducati also released this little gem yesterday as well...

This.


It's for 40 year olds who want to be hooligans & ride like 20 year olds.

Uck! Yeah, I'm showing my age, but I remember those fugly MoFo's.

Actually, I kinda like the new Diavel ("Diavolo" if I remember correctly in normal Italian).

If the "retarded Italian" look gets a girl like that on top of me for a ride, well, then I'm the poster child for that Downey bottle! :D
