I wish Ducati kept the name Mega Monster for the Diavel…one can dream lol
Just bought the same bike (21 reg) with full Termi exhaust. Struggling now waiting another 2 days to pickup!
Great review and lovely looking bike.
Quality video and haven’t even watched it yet!
It’s a crazy ass bike mate, just kept making me laugh when I was out on it and it’s silly fast too 😜
Great video , mine comes at the end of the month :)
Lol had to throw that in ...
Cant do with bragging people !!!
ชอบ 1260 S
It's just a shame this new e10 petrol fucks up the Ducati's petrol tanks. Well every plastic petrol tank when it comes to that matter.
What’s the clamp for that hero session?
Hi mate, it’s the official GoPro bar mount 👍
Wow Ducati listened and got rid of belt drive in favour of chain...
Are you're thinking of the xDiavel?
Not for me buddy, happy with my super duke 👍🏻
My neighbour has one and loves his. But what is it for other than pissing HD riders off? can't throw it around, not fast enough to annoy sports bike riders and would you do any distance on it?
It handles better than you think and in a straight line would keep up with some seriously fast bikes no problem, does the bike make any sense? Probably not but I still loved it 😜
the reason we have any bike.
@@GMANS_BIKES_CARS
When you put it like that it sounds like there's no reason to ever buy anything but a sports bike.
Some people buy Lamborghinis and others buy Bentleys you know, speed isn't everything.
thats genuinely the ugliest bike i have ever seen
Jealousy is ugly too.
Finally riding a decent bike! Monster is awesome, this awesome!...but this bike is too big for the UK, lol. You should be on the hypermotard Sp
Cannot reach the floor on Hyper Sp 🤣
5’7 buddy 👍
The rear suspension is crap on these bikes. The linkage creates too much piston speed, and the shock fails fairly regularly because it gets tortured to death. I'm having mine rebuilt tomorrow by a specialist suspension shop. The result should be interesting..
I've had my 14 Diavel for 2 years and still absolutely love it. The suspension can be hard but I have mine wound right off and it's good now. I ride very twisty roads just north of Brisbane, Australia and it really is fantastic and very capable through the twisties. I have Michelin RS tyres on the bike and they really make the handling and confidence great. Sticky as hell. One thing with this bike is you must have good tyre pressures otherwise it knocks the handling right off, you need to have about 42R & 40F, The main thing is: Every time I take the bike for a ride I come back with a HUGE grin on my mug, even after 2 years.
@aussie sam
good on you mate. Still stuck with the old monster myself/ I always beenn scared by the notion that the Diavel has like 8 different ECU... any way enjoy it. I bought mine at Brisbane Motorcicle on Lutwitche .
Take care bro.
Is it a reliable bike? I really want one but if its not so reliable i would stick to a yamaha😔
@@Snotroggel453 I haven't had any issues with the bike other than replacing a rear hub bearing at around 36,000 kms. The bike has been very reliable and a pleasure to own.
I’m guessing It’s pretty reliable, join the owners forum and see if they have any issues 👍
Hi Aussie Sam I am keen on a 2019 Ducati Diavel 1260S and was interested in your feedback on reliability issues and potential heat issues over summer riding on Brisbane Northside and out over Mt Nebo & Mt Glorious? Also are the Pirellis it comes with a good tye choice ?
I have a 2013 Ducati diavel carbon thinking about updating to a 2020 love Ducati 💘😍😍
DUCATI My Sweet Dreams Great Design /Baghdad Evening May 29 /Duraid 💪💪💪👌
A 1200s on stéroïde ! Best description lol ! Im Selling my 1200s for this diavel. Dont ask me why . When you tried a ducati you cant go anywhere else ! Força ducati
Go for it as life’s too short I say!! That 1260S was superb, looks amazing and is super fast! Just make sure you get the suspension setup to your weight and riding style as I found it not that great in standard factory setup!
The new chassis looks virtually identical to the XDiavel..I guess they shit canned the old Diavel chassis in favor of this.
Just returned from a test ride of this. Yes, there is a slight bit of jerkiness at slow speeds but you can work around it. What's interesting is that the dealer told me the jerkiness is totally eradicated if you go for the Termignon pipes option.
I think if you are spending that kind of money on the bike you must fit a termi to it and standard pipe is too quiet 😜
Nice bike, man! I love the new Ducati Diavel S 1260!
Plush suspension on diavel? S- means sport! Will be set up as a sport bike that's why... This is serious sport bike monster is naked softy...
Great vid as usual, thanks. Re the suspension, I'm sure you can get the suspension perfect for most roads if you experiment, which isn't easy when you've only got the bike a few hours. A few weeks back I went down a 25 mile route which saw me out the seat more than in it...it was terrible. After lots of tinkering with the settings the whole bike feels 100% better in all conditions...plusher and yet with more feedback and feel when pushing it. I'm amazed how noticeable even one click is on the Ohlins.
Yes mate, I’ve never been let down by a set of ohlins so I was guessing with a bit of personalising it would improve it no end, thanks for the comment as makes total sense 👍
When I first got back into road bikes in 2015 I nearly bought this but settled with an mv dragster rr. There is still something I like about these and they are pretty quick through the twisties of you're confident
It defies logic as handles really well even with the huge back tyre and when you are pushing the bike hard it doesn’t even feel that big, credit to the Ducati engineers 👍
25 minutes, hahaha LORD OF THE REVIEWS
Ducati designs are always stunning to look at
Perfect Hot looking Hyperbike LIKE! :)
Had a Carbon Red a few years back but the slower handling in the turns and the harsh suspension which Just isn’t adjustable enough to suit UK roads meant It had to go. Love it’s looks and like you say the engine is superb but for me it’s not really the bike for long rides.
Agree with you mate, definitely not a bike if you could only ever have one bike but would still love one for the odd blast out 👍
The new Diavel with Olins suspension is a pleasure to ride and it's just as easy to turn as my last bike (MT-10). The beauty of the Diavel is that it's multiple bikes in one, it's a naked, a sports bike and a cruiser so you only need one bike in your garage. I can also confirm that the new Diavel is very comfy on long rides, the seat is plush and the upright riding position easy on the back.
Thanks for sharing. Have you rode a VMax lately?
Hi mate, have never ridden a V-max but have heard good things about them 👍
A.J. Sipple
I much prefer the eternal look of the VMax, (when you've reached perfection why change) but,the V MAX is a really heavy sob and not recomended for shrimps like me - I.m only 5.6 - 17o lbs - I know people my size that ride them wirh confidence, but I suck even if I've been ride for 40 years.
Yes , I LOVE THE Vmax, BUT I still believe never buy a bike you can't possibly lift if it fell down.
I wish you well AJ
@@lorenzomagazzeni5425 Lifting a bike is down to technique, I've seen tiny women lift huge Harleys before.
I agree the black with that bit of red and perhaps add some other red things to it would look very nice
It's a great bike considering the fact that this is the first cruiser released by Ducati.
Old clutch brake fluid reservoirs from the 1st gen Diavel look old hat and paint will bubble eventually like every gen 1 and 2 I've seen.
19:45 the narrator mentions the handling completely misses it has ohlins and could be adjusted says it could be chassis or tyre?
Was just my first impressions mate, and yes the onlins could be adjusted and that’s exactly what I did on another ride but it made no difference to ride quality or handling 😬
@@GMANS_BIKES_CARS thanks for the reply and feedback 👍so maybe not worth going to ohlins S model. Heard the standard 1260 suspenders are more compliant on uk roads?🏍💨
What is the commute range on a tank?
I’m thinking about 120miles on a tank 👍
I see they've moved the foot pegs right back.
Not sure about that buddy, cannot remember what the old bikes pegs were like 😬
Adjustable mate
OK, cheers.
Diavels have always been mid control as oppose to the Xdiavel which is more forward controls
It do you think of the XDiavel? It has the cruser style
Looks stunning. Way out of my price range lol.
Me too my bikes 10 years old lol
Suspension just needs to be set up for you
Yes buddy I thought they was the case, ohlins kit is top drawer
Do you think there is any similarity between the Ducati and the Yamaha VMAX? I have doubts on which one to buy. Is there anything different about Ducati that does not compare to VMAX?
Sorry mate but I’ve never ridden a VMAX, gets it comes down to which feels better, all I know is that when I rode the Diavel I couldn’t stop smiling and it looks amazing too, not sure I’d feel the same on a Yamaha 😬
when you ride those 2 long enough, they are one and almost the same, ducati is faster, yamaha more reliable, maintenance and parts cost, there it is, huge difference at least in the us. it all depends on your riding style and access to those beautiful engines with seats and handlebars on em' ... i own a 1st and 2nd gen vmax, my brother a 14 diavel.... love'em all!!
I’ve ridden both and found the diavel much more entertaining to ride. I’ve ridden over 40 different bikes and the vmax is one of the most disappointing...
What’s the title of the intro song, man? Thanks! Ride safe!
Hey buddy, cannot remember off hand, I’ll see if I can find out 👍
same question. name of track pls
Will try and find out 👍
G-MAN'S Bikes & Bits thanks man! Appreciate it!
Hi guys, intro track is called Concrete (Daxten remix)
Great video :) new sub
Top man Jack, great to have you on board 👍
Great review Mark. Having had a 796 Hyper, 848 Streetfighter and 1199 Pannigale (currently own a S1000XR), this bike appeals to me, however - you’re correct when you say it doesn’t feel planted . I rode 14 Diavel and it did feel light on the front end. Great bikie great review.
THE new 1260 handling is better they say
25.000$
Superb vid. Love that thing. What a beaut. Is it really lumpy at slow speed?
It needs to be ridden fast mate to keep it smooth 👍
It's smooth at low speeds if you have it in URBAN mode (not TOURING as in this video).
That music though
Good stuff thanks
Nice 👍🏼
New rocket is better!!
Another great video.....I live in Cambridge and know those roads very well......the Diavel makes no sense and that’s what makes it so bloody appealing......take it easy
I could never make my mind up what the bike is supposed to be ?
Much prefer the monster ( if i didn't have a new superduke ) 20k is over priced & suspension not that good ( as your bollox found out ) 😂 The license plate holder is absolutely hideous!!
Yes I agree mate, as an all round bike I preferred my old Monster, love the Diavel looks apart from the licence plate holder 😬
Funnily enough, I love how the licence plate holder looks, must be subjective.
Ducati' are the sexiest bikes on the planet. Too bad they have sooo many reliability issues. This from a previous Duc owner. '12 Diavel
The 2 Ducati’s I had were pretty much flawless, also a few of my mates have various Ducati models with not one issue 😬
12 years monster: zero issue
Audi bought Ducati in 2012 and after that, the reliability went up.
Still room for improvement
Lawrence Ward Please elaborate
What a softie. Get pony instead
What you on about???
@@GMANS_BIKES_CARS it's like watching a pensioner driving a mobility scooter. You might just as well start up a channel where you play bingo rather than ride super bikes.
Thanks for the comment, it’s called repeating someone else property and not thrashing the shit out of it, the video was just my first impressions and a quick run around the block, watch this video of me and my Bro in Spain to see me riding way quicker! Or just don’t watch my videos anymore and go and criticise someone else, cheers, G - MAN 🤪
th-cam.com/video/y-Q23D-qIEM/w-d-xo.html
fantastic bike, almost in the top 5 in sport cruise/tour segment top of the class is zx 14r, nothing comes close to it in the class except h2sx and busa. after those 3 is the sdr and sdr gt, and after those then you come to the diavels
death insurance adverts come with this video
Never seen a death insurance advert on my vids, I don’t have control on what ads are show, maybe it’s to warn people that the bike is a crazy fast machine 😜
WHY do you have to say OMG???
I can say whatever I want and if that annoys you I suggest you don’t watch my videos simple as that 🤪
For a small man you can't afford to blaspheme too...
But I'd sure not be here again!!
TheJWC56 , mate just saying I’m sure I don’t always say the right thing whilst I’m testing a bike and I do repeat myself sometimes but chatting whilst riding a bike you don’t know and remembering what to say isn’t easy as anyone who’s tried it will tell you, OMG 😜
sorry mate boring review, lots of don’t knows and you keep repeating yourself
Did my best mate, not easy riding a bike and chatting at the same time 😬
The ugliest bike on the market ever!
Do you really think that??
@@TH-cam_Globetrotter yes I do.I mean is nice looking bike before you see someone seat on it,then looks horrible.
Especially rear end,tail.
But all other Ducatis are awesome!
Funny you should say that as the Diavel won the prestigious European design prize, the Red Dot Award and has now gone on to enjoy success in the United States where it has clinched the Good Design Award.
