    2011 Ducati Diavel unveiled

    Official debut today!

    http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/618/83...ial-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.”

    '09 Duc Monster 696
    '00 Suz SV650 (Dad's, garaged with mine)
    I like mountains because they make me feel small.

    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).

    Re: 2011 Ducati Diavel unveiled

    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.

    I dont like what I've seen of it. The front end looks like a scooter.
    I have no idea what you're talking about.

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