Ducati's answer to the VROD -
http://www.diavel.ducati.com/jsp/en/index/index.jsp
I have no words for how ugly this thing is, but apparently goes like a scalded cat! I don't see HD losing traditional customers to it but for those sitting on the fence it might just sway them.
There's a write up in the latest AMCN about it for those interested.
stumbly
it would be goodto see that when it comes out
not so bad...would like to ride one
Just looks like an overweight Duke, sorry i can't see any cruiser there
If t hey are giving out samples I'll definitely take one. And why wouldn't you after a description like this:
With lateral radiators adding muscle to its broad “shoulders,” which then taper down across the engine and into the belly-fairing with oil cooler, the athlete took shape.
Crikey!
when is someone going to mention victory motorbikes??????
its been a whole 12 posts and nothing yet
Hmmm, for disclosure purposes I must admit to liking Ducatis... BUT! I don't like this one. Howl me down if ya must but what is the definition of a 'Cruiser'? Coz that Duke looks to me like a sports bike on steroids. What's 'cruisey' about that? Nup, not for me.
i like it but i like the v rod more
looks like a normal duke on steroids .
No uglier than a vrod muscle!
Burto.
Have to see one in the flesh, but really....I used to ride a Duke. Great sports bike, but a cruiser? I don't think so. I reckon that Ducati have lost the plot in the last few years.
More of a competitor in the Power Cruiser market targeting the M109 & Vmax more than any Harley I think.
The Ducatonista will love it but I cant see it selling anywhere but Europe in any great numbers.
