The bikes concept was designed and developed in South Africa by Dave Frisoli. Ducati took his prototype to the next level. Frisoli like his Dad Ricardo is a genius .
I absolutely love that Ducati - it is a dream come true to me - why? Well I always wanted a cool looks of a cruiser/chopper but I just couldn˛t get over the too much weight, low agility and shitty performance. So I went with SS bikes instead leaving my heart hungry. When this came out it was as if Ducati read my mind - perfection :)
I bought this bike in 2017 because of its huge rear tyre and its overall design, pretty sexy hihi.. I am happy with it, really really awesome. Tq bro..🤓👍✊
HI gents. I know that I am way late in commenting on this, I only just found the video this evening. I really appreciated the review. I own an 03 V-Rod and while the xDiavel is more powerful, in my own test ride of the x, my personal conclusion is that it's not as strong as the V-Rod and was more uncomfortable. To each his or own. Now that a year has passed, I would be very interested in seeing a side by side comparison of the Diavel and the xDiavel. I've ridden both, but an hour in the saddle of each does not make for a good framework for a comparo. Thanks in advance for the consideration
I am big fan of the bike show, PROUDLY VAN DIE SUID!!..was wondering whats a better bike to step up from my 125cc gomoto zr to a bigger one?, was wondering KTM RC390 or honda 2016 500rr
I would say that the 390 has a bit more hooligan appeal and is a brilliant bike. The Honda; we haven't ridden it but if it is like all the other Honda products it will last for years and be very well made.
So I'm pretty convinced this will be my dream bike. If I wanted something similar on an A2 license, what do people think of the Kawasaki Vulcan S? It shares the same engine as the ER6.
The Vulcan S is my dream bike - I've only met one owner so far, he had just taken it on a long trip round Italy and said it was one of the best and most comfortable bikes he's owned in 40 years.
I have both the Vulcan S and the Xdiavel. The vulcan will outdo the Xdiavel in the turns BUT on the straights...forget it. The Vulcan corners extremely well and a good seating position. Brakes are shit though. The Xdiavel is a better experience.
nofoyourbusiness thanks for the response. I actually saw a diesel the other day and it left me for dust at the lights, I imagine the xdiavel can probably do better.
I can’t believe anyone buys a Harley-Davidson every year we head for the Rockies to ride we always transported our bikes on a truck we bought just for transporting our ikes two Ducati’s and a hyabusa great bikes not rideable for the 800 mulies so we found this beautiful machine and we will be riding all the way that’s 800 Mille each way can’t wait
im not 100% convinced about the looks. the back end looks similar to my rocker c - which I am actually replacing tomorrow with a new zx14. the front looks like an mt09.... I can find myself having a second or even 6th look at it, just give it time for it to grow on me...
Ducati's are double pleasure machines. First time when bought, second time when sold... BTW, how many km's did you put on it in 4 years? 4000? Just curious.

Did you buy it?
I love this channel its like top gear but for bikes
That was the Top Gear of motorcycle reviews. Nice job! I love it.
What it it you ask? A beautiful piece of great Italian craftsmanship.
Also it is 100 Kgs lighter than the other cruisers in its league ... great video though ..👍
this motorcycle is wonderful !!!
Just bought one and the Bike Show has it absolutely right: Brilliant!
Have to agree with you as I loved the bike when I tried it last summer.
I bought this bike in 2017 because of its huge rear tyre and its overall design, pretty sexy hihi.. I am happy with it, really really awesome. Tq bro..🤓👍✊
Is the bike's ride as harsh I've heard; and as these men mentioned?
Excellent review love his style of reviews
It is just amazing bike, I bought one brand new and it is the best handling bike I ever owned and Power OMG!!!
Still your opinion after a year? Greets from Switzerland
Definitely another sexy Ducati. If I was well-heeled, I'd have one bike from each manufacturer in my garage. This might be my choice for a Duc.
I just love it 🥰😍♥️
I love my x diavel s with full termi exhaust!
5UP I want the termi so bad on mine. But 3000 is too much for an exhaust.
5UP &
looks like it will eat a harley davidson for dinner
It looks like a tarts handbag, anything can eat a Harley for dinner.
This is a concord compared to a harley bi plane.
Maybe, but the FXDR looks a lot better than the Ducati, if you think otherwise you're blind in one eye and can't see out the other.

Hello! how tall are you?
how tall is this dude
Is that him from The Chuckle Brothers?
Has anyone taken the XDiavel onto serious / windy mountain roads like the Alps? Worried how it would handle in the tight corners.
Did you guys ever ride/review a original MT-01 ?
Great show btw 👌

I've got that 500RR and it's a great bike. Lots of useable torque. Highly recommend.
get a ninja :)
czierwo
i pick up my new zx14 tomorrow 😄
Lee Hunt Bomber bike? Hope you have experience to match the potential! :)
Would it be my benefit upgrade Cross fingers

Nathan Perez thanks for the response. I'll hopefully be testing and buying one in the next year!

Why does it have to be labled ?
exotic bike.
Thanks guys!
Natural progression: Suzuki TS50ER -> Suzuki GP100 -> Yamaha RD250LC -> Suzuki X7 -> Kawasaki GPZ550 -> "Had wife and kids" -> Yamaha R6 (twice) -> Yamaha R1 -> Aprilia RSV4 Factory -> Ducati XDiavel S.
I think they should’ve continued in with the rear guard kept it sleek and made it one piece
I also needs a screen
What is the rear seat you have on there? If you don't mind my asking.
I love this
thank you Ducati for setting the bar.
Not confused, it has best of both worlds :p 👍
"No one said you can't put a big fast engine in a cruiser. It's just people don't." hahahaha
Power Cruiser like its spiritual ancestor the ZL900 eliminator was in 1985
Would be a good drag build
Guys halp. Xdiavel s or a monster 1200r?
Are you a fan of Frank Zappa?
this is a modern interpretation of a chopper in its purest form. Its not ment for crusing, it wants on a drag strip.
Well isn't it a power cruiser? Mind you a big one, but a unique thing
Ducati calls it a sport cruiser and trust me they are not wrong
i remember that guy from that Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt film Edge of Tomorrow
The welds on the rear swingarm are so much worse! :o
It's a muscle cruiser, like the V-Max is.
Review the Yamaha VMAX :)
Did and it has nothing on this.
Is a suzuki M109r comparable?
Rene Bakker Absolutely.👍
This will murder the Suzi. It's so much lighter.
You will love the M109 compared to the price of the Ducati lol. I've got the M109 and it's a head turning, comfy BEAST! At half the price.
Too heavy...wierd headlight housing....yet faster than it looks.....yahmahog
What a fucking beast
I can’t believe anyone buys a Harley-Davidson every year we head for the Rockies to ride we always transported our bikes on a truck we bought just for transporting our ikes two Ducati’s and a hyabusa great bikes not rideable for the 800 mulies so we found this beautiful machine and we will be riding all the way that’s 800 Mille each way can’t wait
That spider at 3：52
Looks like the big bad, college dropout brother of the V-max.
Frank zappa review's Ducati
¸Where's the new fancy studio boys? :)
It's coming!
Anyone here for Resident Evil Vendetta?
Who cares what it is....it’s so sweet! ❤️🇮🇹💪🏼
my friend"s classmate has this bike
multistrada
Your friend's classmate's next door neighbor saw someone riding it? LOL
Sounds unlikely
Rain will fill up the exhaust.
blipco5 no
A bike like this will never stand in the rain. If ridden in the rain the water will simply boil off. :)
i have this
raghav kanwar ok
Its a cruiser. Look at it. It just happens to be on steroids and can outperform every other cruiser and some sport bikes.
I thought it was Frank Zappa
If only the FXDR had more than 92 HP.
I'm worried about his hair.
Miem 每年举办电单车竞赛。
Next times please try to lower the music even more against the speech. Thanks.
Zappa on 2 wheels...
Frank Zappa?
im not 100% convinced about the looks. the back end looks similar to my rocker c - which I am actually replacing tomorrow with a new zx14. the front looks like an mt09....
I can find myself having a second or even 6th look at it, just give it time for it to grow on me...
So ousam
But I can't buy
You look like Borat
PaoloPaolo сегодня Paolo что я уколы вот сам твой друг вот ещё
agricultural
Not for me, it's just too ugly :-)
This bike was made for handsome masculine men.
Exclusively
Do you fantasize about handsome masculine men riding this bike
A Lot of really ugly welds on that frame.
V-Max over this monstrosity all day everyday.
its a ducati, it will break tomorrow...
Not any more dude. Years ago yes, but times have changed.
Reviews and word of mouth says otherwise... unfortunately. They are sexy AF!
I owned a Gen1 Diavel for 4 years, it never broke down and the new owner is extremely happy with it; that's word of mouth ;)
Ducati's are double pleasure machines. First time when bought, second time when sold... BTW, how many km's did you put on it in 4 years? 4000? Just curious.
czierwo About 20K km, including a dozen or so track days... short riding season here :(
